A "bit" angsty? It's sheer elitist snobbery, and misplaced at that. The thinly
veiled "Tolkein is teh gay" at the end speaks very poorly of the writer, too.

But why do you proffer that post as evidence that artlanging is mainstream? I
don't deny that it could be becoming so, but I don't see how some arrogant punk
screeding about it is evidence. :)
