That sounds completely reasonable. A couple of close friends and I do something similar to that and act as pre-readers for one another sometimes when posting responses to things on LJ or Tumblr. Sometimes it's good to have someone else to look things over, just so you know you aren't letting your frustration get the better of you and descending into wank-territory.

Same anon. She does the same thing for me when I get especially rant-y, though she enjoys making fun of my intense Gryffindor characteristics when I know that nothing good will come of a fandom interaction and I just can't help but do it anyway. Sigh. Sometimes being a grown up means knowing that you are doing a dumb but doing it anyway.

(I think the world would be a better place if everyone had a friend they trusted enough to pre-read their comments. If nothing else there would be fewer angry people on the internet that do not understand having friends.)

Good to hear you've got each other's backs! I totally feel you on sometimes just needing to say something, even if you know nothing good will likely come of it (or that whomever you're addressing really isn't going to bother listening to your point). I've gotten a bit better at curbing my urges, but sometimes the pull is far too strong.

(Same here! If anything, it at least forces you to take a few minutes, step back, and get a bit of a breather before posting. There have even been a few times when I've asked someone to read something over for me, then gotten enough of a break from the initial irritation to decide that maybe I don't need to post after all. Half the problem with the Internet nowadays is the immediacy of it all - it makes dogpiling people a lot easier.)
