Have a clear message.

 

(1) Make a relevant point about something in the Indianapolis area.

 

(2) Articulate: Your rant doesn't have to be grammatically perfect, but at least readable. If we can't understand your shorthand, chances are, neither can our readers, and it won't get posted.

 

(4) Caps-lock (yelling) just pisses us off. We can hear you fine.

 

(3) Pointless hatred of groups or races will not be posted. Hate all you want with a clear point and common decency, otherwise... you're just a heina... or you belong on Craigslist. Either way, piss off.

 

(4) Feel free to reply to others' rants, but have a point of your own.
(flame wars are stupid and a waste of our most precious natural resource... space on the internet).

 

 

Ultimately, we can:

 

(1) Not post your rant at all.

 

(2) Edit for appropriateness.

 

(3) Get completely belligerent and send posts in to our own site that we look at the next day and think, "Who the hell sent that in? Ehh, post it!"

 

 

Examples that will not be posted (and why):

 

(1) "I hate the Pacers."
(Look, I really don't like them either, but at least give us a reason, like how you paid $80/ticket and Larry Bird wouldn't sign a damn autograph for your six year old son... who was wearing a Larry Bird jersey... and was in a wheelchair with chronic pneumonia... and said, "But, Mr. Bird, you're my hero...")

 

(2) "I totally pwned ur mom and UR a stupid idiot!!!!!!!!1
(I'm sure that you're so awesome you'll eventually have a reality show on the CW, but seriously, fuck off... the big kids are talking.)

 

(3) "I hate Norwegians."
(First, that's not a rant. And second, dude... what the hell did Norway ever do to you? I should punch you in the trachea.)

 

(4) "THOSE JERKS NEVER PLOW MY STREET AND I GOT STUCK IN THE SNOW AND GOT FIRED FOR BEING LATE!!!!!!!!!"
(WE DON'T YELL AT YOU, SO WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT US??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111ONE?????)
