It's not just humorlessness. People that lack a sense of humor or just don't find it funny, shoyld still be able to recognize its a joke.

But humorlessness is compounded by (even more serious) reading comprehension issues.

Beautiful Child of God, why do you disturb yourself about what others think? Recall from your natural wisdom that you can only control how you react to any situation.

Consider, in this particular case, after reading the criticism, respond by saying, "Thank you for your opinion. I most certainly will give it the attention it deserves." Then move on.

I understand that when you wrote this work, you did your best. If you could have done better, you would have. In my writing, I have come to recognize that there is a fine line between "good enough" and "perfect."

Follow your nature!

Nicely done, ma'am. Frankly, I would fret too much about those who didn't get the joke. Those folks need to reduce the amount of starch in their underwear...

Great article. Things were more fun and happier with a collective sense of humor.
