If people rant/rave and folks tune them out do they make a sound? Do rant/ravers seek attention/approbation or regurgitation?

They make a sound but it tends to be an irritating backing noise.  What I've learnt is "less is more," if you can say something with simplicity and clarity people tend to listen, people tend to tune out to long diatribes.  It's also a matter of negative v positive, people are lifted up by positivity, where as people by rule are drained by negativity, well except for those that like misery as company, it's all about balance.
