My feelings on this - ranting about other people or things - hate to hear it, but this is a lesser issue and can be a boundary for later.  Rants about me, but in a somewhat calm voice - hate to hear it, but again she has BPD, and her first thought is naturally to blame others.  But if she is in a somewhat calm voice, that tells me she is in somewhat control.  And ranting in a calm voice maybe the best it can get for right now.  Rants about me while screaming, or name calling -->  no go.  I tried to discuss this difference in MC, and as I recall our MC also tried to get her to express herself without the name calling.

So your boundary is "no rants in loud voices with name-calling"?

"I won't expose myself to loud voices and name calling."

Interesting today.  During her rage of this week, she accused me of being aspergers.  ?  She made that accusation again during MC on Friday.  She's got her list of "reasons" - that I can be somewhat shy at times, and she claims I sometimes don't look people in the eyes during conversation.  Yikes!  She even said I need to go somewhere to be "tested" for aspergers!  When you read the characteristics of Aspergers and know me, I don't fit the description at all.  But today, we were out with a friend of hers, and she made a comment about autism/aspergers, and said, "Max, you have to understand that my whole family likes to insult people by claiming they have aspergers.  But I don't even really know what that is."  I guess that is as close to an apology as I can get today!
