We are still laughing

Typetrigger writer Shocky is always good, but response to the trigger true madness still has us laughing over here.

That name is unpronounceable.  Do you actually expect your readers to tolerate that for 450 pages?
   Which name?
   What do you mean which name?  Are you fucking kidding me?
   It's a real name.
   It doesn't matter if its a real name  .  No one can even begin to pronounce it.  By the second page it's annoying, and by the second chapter I was ready to throw the book out into traffic.  I bet you don't even know how to pronounce it.
    O'hIonmhaineain.  See, not that big of a deal.
    You're a prick.  I swear you do this kind of thing just to piss me off.  I can't believe you get away with writing this shit.  You use this impossible Irish name in every other sentence, you reference all of these works that he supposedly wrote,  absolutely preposterous plots filled with these gross Irish caricatures...it's like you're trying to beat the reader over the head with a cudgel.
    You mean a shillelagh?
