I would also like to add, this is a forum. The way they work is that people post things, other people read them, a subsection of the readers reply. If I'm "in the rant thread" it's because i'm fucking reading it. Is there some sort of expectation that the only acceptable business of someone clicking on the rant thread is if they're going to type a rant?
If you want to rant and it not be read by anyone else, might I suggest you write it down on a piece of paper, or type it in notepad, MS Word, Notepad++, anything that allows a form of text entry!
Posting a rant on an open forum is inviting responses, regardless of whether you like, appreciate, or even want them.
