How to rant properly in DD

A mega thread on mega threads rants, how very meta. The thread itself proves the inherent meaninglessness of mega threads other than as places for people to hurl their 2 cents into the void... oh wait :)
 
But if there is a poll, wouldn't the results of the poll become themselves the new percentage of infamy?

Obviously the poll would be rigged,
like the statistic that gave birth to "2,8% of infamy",
to reflect 2,8% as outcome.

It is in my sig since forever:
Through infamy, my chains are broken. The bounty shall free me.

Seems 2,8% of the galaxies credit-reserves as bounty are the answer.

and people wonder why this forum is so toxic, even the moderators seem to encourage it.

Oh come on...

We're having a really friendly chat about the silliness of rants, and you think that's toxic? What must you think of the combat logging, PvP vs PvE or the exploration changes threads?

This one's a bit meta, but we're laughing at ourselves. Put down the pitchforks and join in dude.
 
Read the tips. Give me a week or so to practice on the wife and I'll come up with a real rant of my own instead of joining others.

Read the UK tabloid press about brexit. In a week you'll be frothing with the best and your wife will still love you... Probably.

What you mean real life news. I was actually banned from all that last year.

Now you've got me wondering if one really does practice before ranting... or if it just comes naturally. ;)

Apparently I'm a natural. Lots of my family say I should do a you tube channel when I go off on one. Somehow while I'm serious they think it's funny.

and here's a perfect example of someone encouraging toxicity on this forum.

I kindly disagree. I'm sure every player has their unhinged frothing rage moments. This thread can be a good reference to reigning in reactions.
One might feel completely justified in posting a heated rage rant but it is actually just received by innocent bystanders who might only feel it as a unprovoked assault on ones senses from a seemingly selfimportant manbaby with poor impulse control. That in itself is toxic. Friendly fire.
 
I admit, it was written with tongue placed firmly in my right cheek although I suspect I might have unintentionally touched a nerve or two :D

Sadly I fear that some people may actually think it is an instruction manual, and the DD board will now be bombarded with "high quality" rants. :D

Rep for giving me a laugh though.
 
Frankly, I feel rather sorry for the ranters and ragers. Can you imagine what their lives must be like if the slightest thing, be it imaginary or not, induces a grand mal seizure? Rather they take it out on the Forum than a physically present being! Some of us do not have the benefit of good health, genes or education. Although I realize this thread is meant in jest, the anguish that ranters experience is very real to them, legitimate or not. One cannot compare internal states and to immediately discount another's feelings simply because most view them as insane is well.....barbaric.

I understand that many of us want to defend Fdev; however, as a group entity, Frontier is far more insulated than the usual rager.
