K-jo, although radically angry and pessimistic, is at the very least 
entertaining and thought provoking, which is more than I can say for many 
of the plain white toast personalities encountered on the net. At least 
she is passionate. As a musician whose work is largely interpreted as 
angry, I have come to respect the emotion that goes into a piece of work, 
as well as the meaning. Passion and emotion can sometimes be a more 
impressive communicator than language, and anger can be a great tool. 
Look at Trent Resner (Nine Inch Nails). He's made a huge career out of 
being pissed off! RIGHT FUCKING ON, TRENT, RECORD ONE OF THE 
DARKEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME IN THE VERY HOUSE THAT THE 
MANSON MURDERS WER COMMITED IN, GOOD FOR YOU - and it 
sold MILLIONS of copies! Everyone wanted a piece of his emotion, his 
passion, and everyone wanted to know why he is so fucking pissed!

Perhaps those that accuse K-jo of senseless rambling do not comprehend 
what she is saying. I have run into the same barriers she describes in 
many different places in life. If these barriers become important for me 
to knock down, I do so in the most effective manner possible, which for 
me means music with loud guitars, angry lyrics, etc. That is my form of 
communication. If it sells, then that's even better. If it is not that 
important, I don't waste the energy. If I read her stuff once and didn't 
like it, I wouldn't waste my time in a pissing contest with her. If her 
articles were all over USA Today, you might be surprized how much praise 
she might get, even though many readers would not even be capable of 
interpreting whether she were right or wrong.

K-jo, all we ask is that you don't go to work at the Post Office, okay?
