That's too bad, Brian.  Most people can laugh at their foibles and tell humourous stories about themselves, but heaven forbid someone else should do it.

It's too bad that the person who objected can't see how much enjoyment people get from reading about other people's mishaps, etc. It's not that they're laughing at the people the story is about, but that they can see those traits in, or have had similar incidents happen to, themselves. And if it's about the money, it's a really sad statement about that person's inability to be happy for someone else who is profiting (however much or little) from using her talent.
