You catch more flies with honey than vinegar

My Dad used to tell me that You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

It's an old lesson but one that we all need to learn over and over again. And then get reminded of.

Darren, over at ProBlogger, just relearned this in an incident where he was protesting some adsense changes. First he ranted and got nowhere. Then, he regrouped and went at it again trying to use humor to make his points. Bingo.
