LMAO... I am genuinely asking for a word that is the opposite. Gloating could be but is is a tad negative and I was hoping for a positive word...like something people are proud of or pleased with?  |

I would guess the closest opposite to 'ranting' would be 'effussing' which I'm not even sure IS a word but certainly 'to be effusive' is in my opinion the closest you can get to ranting while still doing something. The reason I qualify it is because I imagine the 'pure opposite' to talking about what is bothering you would be keeping quiet about what is pleasing you lol. |

"what is it please? And as the rant threads are so popular could we then please have a thread with just that... (opposite of rants...whatever they are called?) "
The Ranters. An interesting group of people who amongst other things delighted in gatecrashing churches during services and having sex in front of the congregations. 17th century. |

Well, rating isn't exactly the opposite of ranting. If that's what you're asking?
I just thought there was a kind of neat symmetry about "ranting vs rating".
Of a Thursday morning you could decide whether to complain loudly about something/one that's got completely on the short side of your patience, or to share an enthusiasm and draw people's attention to the Good bits.
What d'you think? |

Perfect - I would love for somebody to put up a positive "opposite to ranting" thread then. Not that I mind the ranters... (thanks Sexy for the definition) but I thought, being a positive kind of woman.. we should have a positive thread as well. |

"Well ... you'll have to wait till next Thursday for me to issue the Thursday Rating thread about something I'm really feeling positive about.
"

"how about "appraising" as the opposite of ranting"
I think I am inclined to go with "raving" simply because "ranting" is quite negative whereas "raving" is definitely positive. And it is a positive experience thread I am trying to create? Appraising is not quite strong enough maybe but thanks for your contribution |
