Do we have a ranting board?

When I first joined I was all over the place as far as posting on the boards. But I just got SO sick of how catty people were and how cruel the posts could be. I mean, come on, I can understand being frustrated if the OP doesn't type well enough to even be understood but I've seen people ignore the question just to edit the grammar! But one of the most frustrating things I saw was someone that wanted to rant, and the post would go something like this:

"This is just a rant from a frustrated bride. [insert rant here]. I know this isn't a huge problem or anything, I just needed to get this off my chest!"

and the replies would go something like this:

"You shouldn't be upset about that, it's so selfish and childish. If you are going to act that way you shouldn't even get married!"

And that would just irritate me because often times the bride would say that she knew it was dumb but just wanted to vent. In the past few days I've decided to venture out to some of the other boards again and kept seeing the same things and it got me to thinking....we need a board dedicated to rants only. All the boards are there for questions and stuff like that, so I can see how someone may confuse a simple rant with a bridezilla freak out type of question.

Hmm, guess that was a little rant of my own lol.

    Does this mean that I can have a quick moment to rant about my FSIL (who is getting married this year) and her registry?  Every time her or her FI changes/adds something, she posts on facebook, texts and emails everyone that she has updated it.  It drives me up the wall.  They even registered to receive money towards a car... a $24,000 sports car.  Okay, I'm feeling better, thanks :)

    lol, how annoying. I didn't even tell anyone on facebook that I had started a registry. I told my parents and my wedding party and I'll let them spread it around by word of mouth - the good old fashioned way.

    You should try lurking on the Not Engaged Yet board...those are th cattiest, rudest biotches ever lol. A girl wrote a post asking for advice on how to make her long-distance relationship work, and they all basically called her insecure and dumb and said her bf would leave her cos of that. They were all pretty harsh on the poor girl!

    My one friend told me after I got engaged that if I chose to join TK, stick to my local boards. She said otherwise you'll find yourself in an argument with a girl telling you how your colors are offensive and not proper etiquette.
    And I do agree, they will eat you alive!  One of my first posts, I specifically asked if anyone had taken advantage of this "special offer" I had received.  Two ladies had very useful input but the rest told me it sounded like a scam, I was stupid to even consider it, etc.

    Local boards and your month boards are the best bets it seems....sadly.

    But I totally get what you're saying!
