on a subject about which one knows very little. 3. To complain to a person

who is not in a position to correct the difficulty. 4. To purposely annoy
|

|
another person verbally. 5. To evangelize. See flame. 6. Also used to
|

Ranting differs slightly from flaming in that to rant implies that it is
|
||||||
|
the persistence or obliviousness of the person speaking that is annoying,
|
||||||
|
while flame implies somewhat more strongly that the tone or content is
|
||||||
|
offensive as well.
