That's what I do. I sometimes have something I want to say, so I write 
my rant. Once I get it out of my system, I realize that it isn't adding 
anything to the discussion, and delete it. The part of my brain that 
wants to rant is happy because it got its say in, and the rest of the 
world is happier for not having to read it.

I highly recommend that people try it. It works wonders.
