Hmm. I clicked through to her journal, and it would seem that she's
been posting for some days about feeling sick and cranky. You'd think
that after posting that a couple of times, a reasonable person would
restrain themselves, but maybe she's just feeling too sick to even
realise. No consolation to the poor person she savaged for passing on
something which was basically a bit of harmless fun.

Hells teeth! Bad Italian being described as "insulting"? Don't know
what she'd do if she were an English-speaker forced to listen to
"hip-hop" ;-) Do they have an Italian version of that?
