I'm glad to see your post here. It was some of your comments that I felt had been presented in the essay without attribution.

I concur with you that such essays do serve a purpose of helping people blow of steam, both the author and the readers. But such essays can also encourage more divisiveness - that is my main concern. At least in this case, everyone can plainly see it is satirical. Reasonable people will disagree on whether it is funny or not, or in poor taste or not.
