Some people call this "Hippo Time", where you wallow for a short while before snapping out of it and moving on. I do this sometimes. I also do observer a fair bit, and endorsement less so, recently.

In my definition a rant is when you're so fed up with something that you throw political correctness to the wind and say what needs to be said. That doesn't mean it always negative energy, it is usually something people just don;t want to hear. An observation is exactly that, what you observe about something, although I don;t think it can ever be divorced from your opinion. An endorsement is something you are willing to bet your reputation on. If you endorse something it best not be crap, because you are associating your judgement and credibility with whatever you are endorsing. I loved this post, thanks for the insights.

I don't like rants because they are boring to the listener. Loosing your audience = no result. Best to maintain control by picking up on what the other party is really looking for and solution solving from there. Back for the rest of the story tomorrow....
