Well, they are at it again..........
You call that a rant? Don't get me started. Four lines? That's not much of a rant. A good rant will go on, and on, and on, and on, and on. At a minimum, you should have to scroll down a bit in order to read it all. A truly good rant will go on so long you have to stop and think about just how far you are willing to go in order to absorb it all. Do you get the gist after a few lines, or do you want to read in fine detail, to grasp all the subtle points the ranter is ranting about? And that'd not just a rhetorical question, you have to actually try to answer it before you can commit to going on.
Then there's the invective. A good (^&*!@ rant will show some heat. At least part of the M*%^(&!) will be in ALL CAPS, ans will at least skirt the rule against creative spelling. It will necessarilt contain at least a few typos, a natural byproduct of the passion and impatience which generated it.
Wht's more, a truly great rant does not have to self-identify as a rant. It will radiate rantishness. There will be no doubt in the readers mind that it is a rant. Some of these "rant"-labled posts are more like a letter to the editor than a true rant. You don't have to tell anybody you are going to rant; JUSR RANT ON!!!
In the best of worlds, you will leave your reader the impression that you are a bit unbalanced, like a ticking time bomb, ready to go off at any second. People will have to learn to keep their *** **** distance.
If you want to apoligize for your rant afterwards, well, that's a different matter.
P.S. oops, I see handejector got here first. Nevermind...
Amen to that!! I haven't heard this much groaning since I was in labor and delivery!![]()
