Are incomprehensible rants valid?

Ranters just need a pace to vent... we all know that no one will listen to them in real life... this is the only place where they can actually finish their rant and feel like they have an audience.

Sympathy for the ranters... they do not realize we don't read their rants here, either... lol

Well actually a rant is a valid form of communication. I see here that you are attempting to mock, but in all reality we know not of the emotional or ideological want of the ranter. Within relationships of any sort, even remote Internet communication, we all have calm moments, love, care and have need to be understood. However, in relationships we are often angry, hurt and annoyed, we wish to convey our emotions to others, to be heard, even if this takes the form of shouting or ranting. Have you ever argued with your partner, was it really comprehensible? Probably not, but there was a desire to convey the emotional needs and pain within yourself.

Little sweet Fireball's rant is valid, even if badly founded. 99% of questions here are leading, and the best answers chosen to those questions merely agree with the askers opinion.

In my estimation, the value of a piece of writing depends on its comprehensibility - unless it's poetry - so I'd have to say no.

If words mean anything, then there IS a proper usage; that's how you determine whether to blame the ranter or the rantee for the latter's incomprehension of the former.

I'd say it's caused by environmental and hereditary factors...either the person is not educated or not intelligent enough to put together a rational and well-supported argument, so what they lack in meaningful content, they make up for with vehemence and wordiness.

They are interesting peeks into the mind of madness, but not enlightening, in general.

i agree... all of my rants are valid!!

at least they are valid in my head when I am going through them....later on when I am calm, cool, and collected they may seem crazy -- but that is not the point

my rant was valid at the point I made it..

not that I make a lot of crazy rants....

This is yahoo answers not yahoo rant, and we the public should just mock the ranter.

good point...actually, rants are against community guidelines, but personally, I have better things to do than sit around reporting people all day, so I usually leave a random sort of response or ignore them completely.

I like the ones that are barely more than random words pulled together in fragmented sentences. I should start saving them just to have something to laugh about later...

LOL. I love them ranting. They show themselves in all their horrible detail. The homosexual question was the best.

Don't forget ranting in tongues.
