This is one of the hardest issues for me as a writer. I REALLY enjoy writing satire, and some of my most well-received articles are written in that vein. But I feel so uncomfortable if it involves one person in particular. I'm far more comfortable with skewering groups than in skewering one person.
I just don't like to be mean spirited - but at the same time, I do. Wah.
WWJD?
I balance it out. I trash some idiots like a redheaded stepchild, then I do penance by anonymous acts of kindness and charity.
Forgive me Father, for I know what I do.
