So ranting on here is a no no then MN?
We all vent our fury on here when we are having a shite day but why does someone's rant get deleted?

It's the feckers who go running to report every post they don't like that annoys me.

CharleneysWishWellingtons · 24/06/2011 18:14

Oh god.. I'll shush Grin

TheKidsAreAllWrong · 24/06/2011 18:14

What's the problem? They've given anyone who wants to take it up something else to rant about now Wink They've done all ranters a favour. It's like they declared a ranting bank holiday!

This will be a ranting thread then
Rant away and drunk ranting is welcomed too

CharleneysWishWellingtons · 24/06/2011 18:16

MN would be a very boring place without the rants!

Gooseberrybushes · 24/06/2011 18:17

oh God I'm not invited ? Shock

GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoDuck · 24/06/2011 18:19

I was just getting into that thread! If it said "I'm off take out all the staff at my local HSBC with an AK47" then fine, pull it, but a venting post? It's fucking annoying when you have to speak to people who can't veer off a script. Better to get it out on here than implode through stress.

Ranting is good. Theraputic even.

Wishing death on people because you couldn't get your own way is neither. Comic exaggeration, fine. Hyperbole for effect, ok. Silly threats to show exasperation, can be funny. But the thread title missed those marks by miles.

I have nothing against the OP or her post - just the title - and I didn't report, but I do think there is a certain grace in admitting an error of judgement.

Can I report myself? I do speak shit most of the time.

GreenEyesandHam · 24/06/2011 18:24

If you saw the title then you missed nothing. There was nothing meaty within the thread itself
