One of my non-SDMB online faves is Deviantart, a site for amateur artists. So. In my messages there–proselytizing. A Randian. I hate those shitpiles in person, & this little swine posted a slanted poll about that chain-smoking alcoholic they worship like a brazen idol, the late Ms Rand. > **[Top 10 Reasons Ayn Rand was Dead Wrong](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/top-10-reasons-ayn-rand-was-dead-wrong/)** > > Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism influenced three generations of business and political leaders. Too bad it's a total crock. –was posted there, by me, as a reply. But I do a slow burn–or a fast one–when they intrude on my life. ---

Rand is terrible, but for none of the reasons in that article. ---

> [@Oakminster](#): > > Why the fuck are you posting some bullshit from another board here? Same reason people post about shit from their real life here, I’d guess. There’s no other acceptable place to rant and get it out of your system. Kinda a weak pit thread, though. Let’s hear some of the stupid things this Randite is saying! Let us know about other times that Randies keep showing up and pissing you off. Give us some reason to feel your anger. I kinda just view them the way I view conspiracy nutters, and pay them no mind. ---

The **OP** and **BigT** seriously need to get into anger management therapy. Their wanton hatred is ruining this board. ---

> [@bobkitty](#): > > Except bringing drama from a different board to this one is specifically a no-no, particularly if you name the board in question. That’s not quite accurate. Posters are free to use the BBQ Pit to complain about online interactions, same as they can complain about real life interactions. What we don’t allow are: 1. Posters bringing offboard fights _with another poster_ to the board. This includes real-life interactions. If you and your spouse are both posters, and you get in a fight over breakfast, don’t bring that shit here. 2. Posters trying to stir up action against another board. Don’t start a thread here saying, “Hey, [here’s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) a board full of Republicans/Christians/One Direction fans! Let’s all go over there and tell them how much they suck!” The OP doesn’t fall into either of those categories. He’s a little close to 2, but he’s not calling out DeviantArt as a whole, just one poster, and he doesn’t provide any information on which poster he’s talking about over there, let alone asking for people here to go over there and yell at a Randian for him. ---

Ok. Cool. Thanks for the explanation. ---

> [@Oakminster](#): > > Ok. Cool. Thanks for the explanation. Thanks, good concise explanation. But this comment of **BigT** ’s jumped out at me: > [@BigT](#): > > Same reason people post about shit from their real life here, I’d guess. There’s no other acceptable place to rant and get it out of your system. NO other place? The OP had to come _here_ and unload? Sorry, but this hit a nerve. So many times, I get pissed off about something and think “Ooh, I should start a thread…” but I stop myself before this board gets filled up with every little drama, every little thought that anyone might have (and this isn’t even MPSIMS). So many times, I’m tempted to follow someone’s lead who repeatedly asked another poster “Don’t you have a blog?” after they whined at length about the 100th trivial slight done to them. To beat this trivial rant into the ground, c’mon, OP… you couldn’t complain on the board in question? Couldn’t bitch on Facebook or Twitter? How about a nice subreddit (does /r/somebodybotheredme exist?), or it’d be just the thing to post on Google+… Or, wait for it… what about bitching to a friend? I’ve been lucky enough to stumble on an offline community called the local coffee place, and they’ve even got their version of The Pit called the bar across the street. ---
