Good heavens, if I had a quid for every time I've ranted about usenet on usenet I'd be able to retire on the proceeds. Certainly several of the people who've been on oxbridge.tat recently have ranted about that, although that was partly in the context of a flamewar which ran along the lines of:
"oxbridge.tat is crap because of the Cambridge crowd." "no, oxbridge.tat is crap because of the Oxford crowd." "Cambridge is tedious!" "Oxford is pretentious!" "you smell of POO and WEE!" "yeah, but at least my dad's not gay!"
To be honest, ranting about injokery is practically de rigeur around here. (Even while indulging in it.) I certainly don't think anybody would hold what you said against you, if indeed they even remember it.
I mean, I don't mean to devalue what you said at the time, because it almost certainly needed saying at the time, but the time was then, and this is now ... (and that was in another country, and besides, the wench is dead.)
