1. Your subject line...
I don't get it. Are you trying to be funny?

2. It's not humor and it's not dry. It's just really shitty.

4. Everyone's a critic.
People don't realize how hard it is to actually write something funny.

But, those very same people know how easy it is to criticize.

For me, I find the shorter the piece, the better the reaction.

5. I like humor where you have to think about it.
Guess I thought too much.

6. I got it, but I figured the topic line was the joke,
so I didn't click on it.

7. If you publish something, you have to expect criticism
And be able to tolerate it.

9. True. However, if somoenone publishes something, that does not necessarily mean...
...the person reading it is going to criticize it fairly.

Remember, this is the internets, everyone is basically anonymous making it easy to nasty.
