[rant.meta]

[wispfox]

If I'm ranting on my LiveJournal, it's not aimed at anyone specific (with possible exception of highly visible public figures that I only know of, and don't personally know).

If I'm ranting, I'm also knowingly not taking into account other people's potential perspectives on the matter (if it were, it wouldn't be a rant according to my definition of 'rant').

Yeah. That.

(Incidentally, I will continue to attempt to remember to read/follow evites; they are just nearly certain to make me feel more or less how I felt in my previous post, at least as long as I'm thinking about them. I usually don't _say_ anything, but there was the most fascinating juxtaposition of having one arrive in my INBOX at the exact same time as answering an LJ poll on how I feel about them. I was already in a verbal mental state about them, so was in the right mindset to express my reaction to them, rather than simply have it and move on)

See, I saw [rant.meta] and I thought you were going to rant about rants ;)

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Funny as that would be, I don't think I'm capable of that kind of beauty. :)

(Wouldn't that be [rant.rant]?)

[dancingwolfgrrl.livejournal.com]

You could do it. I have total confidence.

Okay. A [rant.rant] might be a rant about rants, such as "Why is it that rants seem to inspire bad grammar?" Whereas [rant.meta] would be a rant about the act of ranting. For example, "ranting is a fruitless endeavor."

How's that? :)

Or [rant.ranting]?

Oh! Maybe [rant.meta] should be a rant about things meta!

It WAS unfortunate timing, but I have known you long enough to take your word for it that it wasn't my invite that sparked the rant. In any case, I apologize for getting snippy.

When I move, I'll be having a housewarming (apartment-warming?) and will send you the invite via *email* instead. Really. I will remember to do this. :)

Yay! :)

(as for apology, I was mostly just very confused at your reaction. :)
