Said post is very, very angry indeed...

This made me blink. Have I just been desensitized by reading the Fugly blog, or by reading various JF comms? That post struck me as a garden-variety rant (not as well-written as Fugly usually is). I wouldn't even have described it as "angry", let alone "very, very" angry. (I would have described it as "frustrated, snarky, and blowing off steam".) YMMV, and obviously does.

Also, um... it would be a lot clearer in your write-up if you indicated that the FIRST section is a quote from the post, but all the REST are quotes from the comments.

I see commenters above who think that the OP included the "Turning Japanese" line in her post... which she didn't, that's from a commenter. (Which I thought to look up because I read the OP last night and said, "I sure don't remember that line".)
