Idk where you live, but everyone I know thinks of rant as having an aggressive connotation. Not just long speech.

I was the one that said you were ranting.

And you guys just started going at it.

"i'm gonna encourage this troll but come back and act like they're both wrong lol"

I've never run into someone who thinks rants are aggressive

Yes, if you are passionate, you are wrong, as far as debate goes

no

aggressive and passionate are two separate things

debate is not about being passionate or impassionate

it's about facts

you can be passionate about delivering a good argument

it actually helps

you fuck

god

damn

i

hate

so many

people

I've never in my life heard someone use "rant" in any way that wasn't connotatively aggressive or fanatical.

No, no one cares about your facts if you are offensive

I am not trying to prove anything. Just correcting you, I said you are ranting and Dr.Witt defended me.

it's not about being offensive

Why would I listen to someone who is rude

I listen to rude people a lot

you just conflated offensiveness with passion @Yuukimaru

because the truth is usually harsh

you can hear good arguments through the rudeness sometimes

Yeah that doesn't mean it's not a rant, or that rants are inherently wrong about something

No, you are the one conflating them

how so

please

All rant signifies is anger

You say you are passionate, but you offend people

i am offending self proclaimed trolls

I'm not offend, just annoyed his know it all attitude.

I am offended

Don't want to listen to him.

False. I am not a troll. You just committed lie, Ix

I mean I guess you could use the word tangent

instead of rant
