There are times when I need to say that I hate my furniture, my boss, the weather, my therapist etc...
It can be very helpful just to vent and I usually get of insight from posters about the way I feel.Sometimes this is the only place where I get that.
However, I do see your point. I have read posts that just dripped venom and that marked expression of anger can be very triggering.
So perhaps when someone needs to vent about something in their life a "vent warning" might be in order as a courtesy, not a requirement, to other posters?
We do that for other triggers, so maybe in this case it is a reasonable request.
Thinking back, most people already say "I need to vent" or "rant follows" when they do post.
But we can always do better.
