If that was a rant, then I should definitely apologize to Mr. Kane [*]. 
  He introduced himself to the community and shared a high hope he had. 
  I respect that enthusiasm; I have tried very hard to have that kind of 
enthusiasm myself; I do not wish to do anything to stomp on that enthusiasm.

His desired goal is an admirable Promised Land, but if we keep our eyes 
on that we'll never get there.  We need to remember the Promised Land, 
but keep our eyes on the treacherous rocks ahead.  Making it easier to 
use is something we can absolutely, definitely do.  Making it easy to 
use is something that will happen only as a consequence of a very 
long-term focus on making it incrementally, step-by-step, easier to use.


... Of course, if that _wasn't_ a rant, then I would suggest following

Frankly, my vote is on "I was being acerbic" as opposed to "I was ranting".




[*] Given that 'Michael' is occasionally a woman's name, if I have erred 
in my pronoun assumption, I hope Ms. Kane will forgive me.
