WORLD OF RAWR
The Rantiest Rant Ever Ranted
A few weeks ago I read this post and thought I would take this theory on a test drive... in reverse. Now, for those of you that could not be bothered to follow that link, I'm supposed to do these things to write a perfect rant:
- Be Vague. I really had every intention of doing this, but I already told you which blog post I'm referring to, out of the thousands you could read trying to guess what I'm referring to. Oops.
- Misinformation. I couldn't possibly perform this because I've given you a means to read and verify anything I'd say about the blog I linked to by giving you the link. That said, I also suck at misinforming people, so here's my thoughts in pure form: ugh... just ugh so much ugh. I read so many blogs from so many people and it's a site and people have feelings so they can say things and we can just let that be okay, right? No? We can't? But why? Like whenever a ranting blog, of any kind, happens, there are so many people who are willing to spend the time and energy with all the other things going on to....
- Unconstructive. Like, I don't know... just can we be more understanding/empathetic/anything like "I hear you, bud" and maybe less anything else? What better way to disarm someone who expects resistance than to just go with it and let them express themselves. Hear people out, understand that people have both good and bad days I think that's called blending in Judo, but I could be wrong. I wanted to be unconstructive, but I have too simple a point and too clear a mind to do that, so I'm still fucked.
So here's the kicker and the point of all that stuff you just read: even if I do the opposite of what this post says, there's no guarantee that writings like this are going to be seen in a favorable light. For some people, any use of this blog feature that is not "here's an adventure I had" or "here's a fantasy story of some kind" is going to be wrong. Always.
However, we all have the ability to be these super mature people that can just read something, go "huh..." and keep moving without a word of comment. We could do that for like ten things, fifty things, one hundred things....
Like we do for literally everything else in the world.
Now that probably makes me ineligible for beers or whatnot, but I'll be over here with a green tea and I'm happy to share with whomever comes up and wants to converse about any of this... or not. Up to you, really, but I'm going to get some sleep.

You are making a good argument in saying that a rant post can make the ranter feel better. Question is, is it worth making everyone else feeling worse.

What Kind Of Tea Woukd You Like?
Also, In Answer To Your Question, That's A Case By Case, But If A Rant Is Posted And I Properly Distance Myself From Someone Else's Emotions Aside A General Sense Of Empathy.... Does It Make Me Feel Bad?
Not Really. I Might Be Inclined To Say A Few Words As A PM In Extreme Cases, But Most Times, I'm "Meh" Because It Doesn't Involve Me.
I Would Have To Imagine Most People Here Would Feel Similarly.
P.S.: You're Welcome For The Extra Votes. #Referrals
