Are People Too Sensitive These Days??!
Are People Too Sensitive These Days??!One of the things I do is write an email newsletter that goes out to 130,000 subscribers.
Called the SitePoint Tribune. It goes mainly to web developers and web marketers - mostly in the US.
I wrote an article in it last week where I said "There are many different ways to skin a cat."
I've received 6 responses criticising me for using the phrase. My favourite one is:
"As one who has two pet cats in my household, whom I consider to be near and dear to my heart, your repeated references to skinning a cat are, at best, repulsive...............I'll never read a SitePoint newsletter that I won't have a bitter taste in my mouth....."
Who said people are too sensitive these days??!
Missy Takes A Break
And below you'll see the latest member of staff here in the office. Missy is my 11-year-old son's kitten. Just 7 weeks old she was dumped a few weeks ago and has found a home with us.
My wife brings Missy in to work each day - this photo was taken a few minutes ago as she sat in the chair in my office.
Looks like a good lunch to me! (Note: I'm kidding. Relax!)
Missy takes a break from the frantic pace in the office
