Basically, the rant part of every one of my posts is the equivalent of me showing my work. And, frankly, most of the time I spend screaming about the problem is just angry analysis of the underlying causes of the problem which then both helps find a solution and justifies said solution. I usually call out a problem, scream about it, and then I fix it. All a rant does is call out a problem and then scream about it.
My advice is fan-f$&%ing-tastic, regardless of whether I personally follow it. They may be hypocrites, but the advice is good. Lots of older smokers tell people they should never smoke. It is the dismissal of an argument based on your perception of the person giving the advice, not on the actual worth of the advice.
Calling someone a hypocrite is an ad hominem argument. But it’s important to remember that hypocrisy has nothing to do with the value of good advice. And yes, I realize the hypocrisy in what I’m starting to say. See, a rant is a thing that is doesn’t have a lot of value.
