The trouble with the 'rant room' is that it can, from time to time, indulge a following of 'anti ranters' who enjoy taking the rant far too seriously.............before you know it, it's been blown out of all proportion, taken out of all context, and has lost it's (often originally intended, underneath the initial fury) fun eliment.

Seems it's not allowed to rant these days........even here................what ever is AO becoming




.................was that a 'rant'???

No good ranting. A firm approach with some friendly persuasion is better usually.:

Even worse than the appalling dearth of ranting, is a thread ranting about no ranting, and a post ranting about the ranting about no ranting, and what is the point, I mean, what IS the point, of me writing this post, ranting about...

Whoa! Admin helper just decided there was no need for my comment. Rant room, eh? Did you even read my reply and self-correction? Did I swear? Gravely offended someone?

I read it as a light-hearted 'rant' with no malign intent - and it made me laugh (sounded like one of my own to be honest). I also thought the 'protest' comment was a jokey response in a similar vein.

Don't worry about it.
