I guess this is one example that shows I'm a bad person...

You know how they say - sometimes, some people only pray when they need something? No, no. That is not the example that I'm referring to in the post title, but it's something kind of similar... somewhat. (And yes, I'm aware that not everyone prays or believes in a god so maybe not everyone will be able to relate to the opening sentence but... that might be a bit beside the point. Hehehe. ) Anyway, the example that (I guess) shows I'm a bad person is this: I'm back here on mylot only because I have something to say. Bad, bad me. Neglecting mylot all this time and coming back only because I want to post something! Bad, bad me! And to make matters worse, the thing I wanted to post was a rant. Btw, is it frowned upon in mylot to post rant posts? (To be very clear, the thing I wanted to rant about has nothing to do with mylot. It's some issue in RL. And it's not very personal either, fyi, but more of general human behavior... kind of thing.) I think I might have seen some ranty posts before so maybe it's safe...? In any case, I'm still deciding whether I will post about it here or just put it on my blog or whatever. I just wanted a place to vent and... (bad me!) mylot was the place that popped in my head.

I see many rants here on myLot and so far I don't see them deleting them so I would say its safe to rant away. Just don't get personal or attack anyone or use foul language or pull the racist card or incite hate or use hate speach... lol. Rants are a good way to start what often turns out to be a very good conversation. All it requires is for everyone to remain respectful which most do here on this site. PS - You aint bad!

Definitely. When I do rant somewhere on the net, I always try to make sure everything is anonymous. No names, no specific places. It is usually not my intention to shame specific people. My rants would normally be about certain actions or behaviors. In this case, it's a good thing that my rant is going to be about something completely outside of mylot. So hopefully no one here will be offended. Of course, there may be some people here who will relate more to the action or behavior I will rant about so... there is always a possibility there are some who will take offense. That's always scary. All I can do is try to politely state my case in a hopefully clear manner and hope for the best. :) My 'only one post per day' rule here also helped because I am a less emotional now than yesterday, so maybe that will help me be more polite in my rant. Haha! In any case, you're right. Most here are very respectful. There was one time I personally experienced where an exchange became a little tense because of a difference of opinion, but it didn't turn bad either. I don't think. :) And thank you so, so much for that PS. I really appreciate it. (Though I will be the first to say, I am no saint either.) Lol! And again, I'm rambling. Oops!

@moirai Yep, most times it's best to keep our rants in our heads till we calm down. But whatever bee you have under your bonnet I'm getting curiouser and curiouser.

Thank you for saying that. It means a lot. :) The "I'm a bad person" idea is, I guess, more in connection with the rant (as mentioned above) going on in my head, and which I haven't written about here on mylot yet. Still don't know if I'll push through writing that... In any case, thank you so much again. I appreciate what you wrote. :)
