However, as I browsed the posts and articles I "got" that this wasn't a blog which was intended to be funny / humorous (although it often is!) but rather a gentle guide to show how to be funny - which is very powerful. I guess it was a case of expectation mismatch from what I expected to what I found. This may in part be due to the link / description from where I landed to your blog - not really sure. However, as a subscriber - I look forward to your newsletters and posts. This post is a very amazing way to positively look at any thing! Thank you for your tips, tricks and for sharing this with all of us. I wish you well! Aditya Hi John,

I have no problem being coached by mentors. Now when unsolicited coaching is given by a non-mentor I know how to accept it and file it. As for your humor and why I appreciate your style-it is subtle. I enjoy having to let it soak in to get the laugh. Thank you for all you have taught me and creating a place where I can play to my hearts content.

Much appreciated. I'm careful about what comments I post. Every comment gets reviewed and approved before being posted. For every legitimate comment, I get about 200 spam comments...not negative comments, but people trying to sell their products. They never see the light of day on my site. I don't have a problem posting critical comments, the one I wrote the post on actually wasn't a blog comment but an email. But if they're totally mean-spirited, I just delete and don't dwell on them. I didn't write the post for self-healing and reflection, but rather felt the thoughts might be interersting or useful to some readers. And after more than 300 posts, I'm always looking for new article ideas. On the subject of mean-spirited comments, it reminds me of a great perspective: "A standing ovation says more about the audience than it does the performer!" The same is true of mean-spirited comments. John Hi Mike,

Personally, I wouldn't have spent nearly as much time thinking about his comment. I find you're a giving person, and what you do enhances my life. And for that I thank you. (BTW, you don't know me.) But because of comments like that, that is why I don't allow comments on my blog. I'm sure that I may be poorer for that, but I detest snide comments. To me it's more a sign of immaturity, and rudeness, which is all over the internet. Often we can sit back in our anonymity and type out destructive words.
