No, for both incoherent and rant.

First of all, ranting is hard to do correctly. I avoid it.

Second, if I do decide to rant, I definitely proofread: spelling and grammar, certainly. It's just trolling to not, because calling someone a grammar or spelling nazi is not really fun; neither is ridiculing someone for a grammar flame that contains its own incorrect spellings.

But more importantly, I check for wit and sarcasm. They are really required for something to be a rant.

Nice try, I suppose. But speaking for myself, I find that sort of terse question to be indicative of boredom. And why waste my time saying "I'm bored!"? But hey, drop by anytime, get bored, and say so!

I'm not sure why it did not occur to you that these two sentences are at best "Duh; so?" sentences.

You wrote: "Your fury..."

See, right there you actually do run off the tracks. As far as I can tell, the reason you think I'm furious is that I used the word rankled. The two words are not the same. The sole thing you know about my emotional state is what is contained in that word: rankled. You transition from that word to something I won't bother to try to understand.

Anytime someone tries to read minds across the internet is the time to stop reading that person's post.

The Tea Party did not fire the gas canister. And Obama didn't mention the Oakland Police, who did, in the same breath as OWS.

Your fury with those police is completely understandable. But by transitioning from that to an attack on Obama for acknowledging some resemblence between the Tea Party and the OWS you create impression that Obama was somehow justifying that police outrage.
