Yeah, uh, I don't think people should be allowed to comment on other peoples' rants. I have been wanting to post a rant on here for a whole about something, but you know why I haven't? I was scared I was gonna get yelled at by everyone about it. If or when I put it up, you'll see why. Anyways, I personally don't think I should be scared at all to post a rant. This is a place for people to vent, not get judged or scolded or laughed at or whatever else for what they're thinking. I should be able to come on here, type out my rant, post it, and feel better, not having to worry about other people commenting on it.

Or, y'know, if the rule doesn't go through and people can still talk about other peoples' rants, let's just go back to the rule we learned when we were all young.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

I'm not saying what Jeebs said is mean or anything, I'm just making a general statement. Now, I say we just drop the topic with this (sorry to bring this back to life), and continue the rants normally.

I just post my rants without a care towards its contents, because really, I'm angry; do you honestly expect me to care or even think about the consequences of what I'm saying? If you got a problem with someone's rant, PM them, or better yet, PM Rescla. Quite frankly it's ridiculous, I shouldn't have to worry about someone starting a public argument over something I've been needing to vent, and yet it happens all the fucking time. Learn how to act mature, people; don't start unnecessary arguments.

Every post I make on VE has a lot of care towards the wording, including the ones I write angrily. These posts will be around for as long as the internet is around. Five years from now, saying "oh it was in the heat of the moment" isn't going to cut it. People need to take as much responsibility for what they say as what they expect from those they rant about.

Also, this is a public setting. Just because "this is a thread for rants", doesn't make you untouchable. What you say here you are still accountable for, but we are more understanding in this thread.

Also, I don't need to see a rule for no replies to rants. Replies can be a way to show you care about someone's plight, or generate a healthy exchange to cool your jets and see things from a fresh point of view. Unless it's obvious we have no self control, how about just a casual rule in this thread to just be a kind person. Don't argue with someone's rants for the sake of arguing. Don't be antagonistic. Don't be an ass.

I would like to point something out in addition. This is a minor rant in itself.

Look at who posted here. Candy. Me. Candy. THIS IS WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED.

After Candy's second post, there are TEN. TEEEEENNNNN posts before I decide to defend myself. ONLY ONE OF THEM IS BY CANDY.

There's a serious problem here on VE. If this isn't your issue, DO NOT ADD A TON OF RANTY POSTS ON TOP OF THINGS. LOOK AT THIS PAGE. SERIOUSLY. This is the problem: not that people are replying to things, but that TEN OTHER POSTS are added on something that was ALREADY DONE. FINISHED. I WAS NOT GOING TO REPLY.

This happens on 99% of "arguments" that I'm involved in, by the way. Generally I am not planning to add anything else, and then I get jumped on by a lot of people. Sometimes things are said that definitely should NOT be said. Some of these things are very difficult to ignore, and yet I ignore them. Until ten, fifteen, twenty posts are added on top. Finally, when I say something, stuff either ends, or escalates to the point where Naka has to show up. THIS IS NOT HOW THINGS SHOULD WORK.

SO STOP BUTTING IN. -actual JB rant-

-Edit: One of those is Silver's. In all reality, that should have been a change of subject right there.

Hello~
Fuck you Royal Ludroth. You never stand fucking still on land for TWO SECONDS before abusing your fucking charges. And I have to kill you how many times?! GAH!

Also, to the people biking on the sidewalks. Learn some fucking rules before getting your ass on that seat. You don't see anyone driving cars on the sidewalk do you?! Nine times out of ten I'm tempted to pick up a rock and throw at your heads!

I'm sorry if I'm doing anything wrong, but I got a message from someone telling me I may have missed something in the original OP. I edited in those rules. I also have them in this post

Rules:

This Thread/Topic/What-have-you is here to let off some steam about, well, whatever, this is not a hate thread, or a troll thread, just a time to yell and cuss at your hearts content. If you happen to be the focus of a rant here, don't be offended or yell at them here, PM them, and try to work it out calmly behind the scenes, this is not the drama topic. This topic is about being open and letting go, so if someone offends you, just move along, because really, they probably don't mean it.

Now that's just irrelevant. There was a NEW discussion about the nature of the ranting topic itself, derived from Gaia's comment.

It had NOTHING to do with Candy anymore. If you think it was still about Candy and apparantly yourself, that's just awkward.

Candy's last reply was already awkward, since it was in a sense insulting, but I decided to just let it slip and ignore it- but then you post this.

Honestly, JB. You could've handled this better. You're the one making it worse now.

Everybody drop it. Done. The OP has made it clear, and even if not for that I'd have put an end to it myself. Not just this thread, this BOARD is not a place to get into a heated argument with each other. If you can't handle it like mature adults just keep it to yourself.

There will be no more posts on the topic. You can let off steam, that's the point of the thread, but don't argue, don't start fights, don't rant AT people on this board. Move on.

...ironically, speaking of ranting at people (Thank you for the spring board, Mr. Teleeli! I've been meaning to rant about this for a while~)!

Am I the only one sick and tired of saying something only to have it brought up to me months afterward? I mean, how the crayons do most of my friends even expect me to remember something I said two or three months to up to six or seven years ago? As I've said to one friend (who knows who they are), it's okay if you're upset, but you really cannot expect me to be able to conjure a modicum of a care toward something that is in the past. I'm more than a bit too worried about the now. =/

What upsets me is when people do this, and expect me to suddenly be in the same mindset as I was then and get even more upset when I can't seem to replicate my thought process. Sometimes, I can go, "Yeah, this is why I said that." But other times I can't because I've moved on. It's something too few people can do as of late, it seems. :|
