If you are going to score for language usage, you may wish to look into the common imply/infer error several examples of which reside in the 616 document and require correction or the document of itself is in danger of qualifying as a rant. Yes thanks I'm aware it's a six year old thread, but hey one has to start somewhere.

Can I suggest that you add the following to the list:

[*]The post contains one or more instances of misuse of "could have / would have / should have" by replacement with "could of / would of / should of"?

Good points were raised. There's obviously room for improvement[1] in the DLRI.

It's late and I'm pissed now, so I put off writing up my ideas a bit.

You F*****g sick c**ts, making fun of a heroine for having dementia. If any of you worthless, stupid freaks had a relavtive with Alzheimer's you would be laughing on the other side of your face. If you ever said any of this crap to me in person I would break your F*****g neck. This is the sickest site ever, it should be closed down immediately. May you all suffer for your evil and stupid comments. You sad, pathetic losers sitting behind a computer screen wishing death on great men and women. And now Rosa is dead and it is because of f*****g c**ts like you. F**k you all, cowards. f**k you all. c**ts.

Quite a literate rant this, apart from giving us all one neck and one computer screen between us. This ranter wishes us suffering, though doesn't directly wish us death or Hell as stipulated in section 1 elements 7 & 8.
"This site should be closed down immediately...

A very thorough piece of work Hein.

. I love the idea of rants getting a score in big red letters, just hope it doesn't discourage some of the really good rant deconstructions we've enjoyed lately.

Do you work in local government? (something about your post suggests that you might....)

He is probably working in I.T. I remember him mentioning something about programming in a previous thread.

No, I don't work in local government. In the past I did work against local government, but the pay was awful, i.e. none.

Yes, I'm a computer programmer, but my business card says "IT consultant", because that pays more. I spend a considerable part of my time writing technical specification. I suppose it shows.
