Rants And Rambles

The tags / labels for posts are more than just an organizational marker for me.

It never occurred to me that y'all can't read my mind and know what I mean when I tag something.  Telepathy training is mandatory and forbidden Troubleshooter...

"rant" and "ramble" are used to indicate that no filters were used when writing the post.

Filters that include, but are not limited to, rational thought, fact checking, logic, politeness, spelling, grammar or citations.

What these posts end up being is the placekeepers for further thoughts and a more rational regurgitation later.  Stuff that I want to talk about rationally, but am too emotionally chaffed about to actually be rational about; yet cannot sit on until I can think straight.

Sitting on it makes it worse.  It makes the posts less rational not more.  It makes posts that I am so damned ashamed of that the shame of memory-holing them is much easier to bear.
