Nate Posted September 20, 2013 Share #24 Posted September 20, 2013 I made fun of some gardeners and got banned. What happened to your Bigwood? made fun of gardeners? those suburban city slickers can't take a joke. If they're stupid enough to think you can grow a show tree, they really deserve to get what they have comming to them. But these days that's "bullying" I guess. We used to call it "busting balls" and it was all in good fun. I mean seriously, this is America. Busting on idiots is our national passtime. and I thought I might try using my actual name for a little while. That, and I haven't figured out what I want to use for a pic yet.

Also Ron Glass was pretty good on Barney Miller. His rant on the Rand Corporation was classic. I had a couple of old cow-orkers who were rant masters, and I am no slouch myself.

Sometimes a rant is getting things off your chest at the moment, but most often they are theater or satire or homage (like the one yesterday) that some people failed to understand even a little (or at all or didn't even bother to try ). At the same time, I have whooshed a few times when other people have also posted things out of character for sarcasm purposes without noticing until pointed out, so I can relate. Lack of visual cues do make it harder on line. At any rate, well-done rants are certainly an art form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go toe to toe with Nate in his rants (as most of us in here could -- it's the internet after all) but I learned long ago to let that stuff slide and appreciated it for what it was. I liked him. We never had any problems. One simply must see through the rant to see the person. And in that process, I appreciated the beauty of his rant. Some of his rants were spot on -- while I thought some of them were bat shit crazy. It didn't matter because from an entertainment perspective -- they were always good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
