Harping
Pontificating - the only one that's "nicer," I suppose
Haranguing
Railing
Raging
Prattling

Venting, where you exclaim for the release of it, with no real problem solving. For example, my husband vents his frustrations after work. Or if he tries to fix what I'm upset about, I tell him, I am just venting.

NAIN DORIS SYNDROME....ha ha ha, please ignore this answer, its just a personal joke between myself and the sender!! The sender claims that 'I' am the one who rants in other words!!
It's her age though, take no notice of her, she's losing her marbles!!! omg she's gonna have me for this.!!!!!
I quite prefer 'venting' to ranting though, not to mention the other answers.....aaarrrrrgggghhhhh!!!

Going Cujo on someone, frothing at the mouth; spouting off; badgering; yelling; being combatative; Going all Bush/Cheney on someone; flaming; flaring up; fighting; ...I could go on here for literally hours, but you get the idea...
