You may want to consider a RANT section where rants can be posted. That way we are warned it is a rant and to be careful reading it.  Sometimes when I post a rant I am afraid I am going to scare a newbie off of the site because a rant is so damned honest about dialysis as a disease.  What do you think?

I say leave the rants in with rest, Kitkat.  Reading them didn't scare me; they helped me.  I like to know what the possibilities are.

I had originally considered that when I first started IHD, but I felt that it would be better to allow rants to be in any related section. Please do not worry about scaring off a newbie, they need to read the awful truths about this disease. If you would feel more comfortable you could always post your rant in the "Premium Members" section, since you are a premium member. But honestly I built this site specifically for ranting, and when new members join a site named "I Hate Dialysis" they better expect to see some major rants.

Remember one of our tag lines is "A PLACE TO GET THE TRUTH"

RANT ON!!!

Rants are one of the best things about this site-makes you feel less alone when you read one. :grouphug;
