It was a rant because it was long, and completely filled with statements that he had already made that had had counters posted against them. And, it was going off on tangents, which makes it more of a rant. Rants are not required to be illogical or anything like that. Most of them aren't.

No Fyron it was anything but a rant.

The New Webster's Collegiate Dictionary describes a rant as:
1. to talk in a noisy, excited, or declamatory manner
2. to scold vehemently: to utter in a bombastic declamatory fashion

He did none of these. The fact that you think he repeated himself or that you think it was long, or that you think it was off tangent or that you may think it is illogical has little or no bearing on whether it is a rant or not.

He was stating his opinion in a very calm and collected manner which is the very opposite of the rant you accuse him of.

Right or wrong, he is entitled to his opinion and shouldn't be put down for it. It is immorally wrong to characterize what he has said as a rant.
