I think part of your issue lies in the fact that I am better than you,
My issue is not that you are better than me, because you are obviously not, but that you seem to think you are. That kind of elitist nonsense is what I've been talking about since post one against you. You fail to compute, and I find that confusing in someone who claims they are so great. Can someone say strong axis II influence here?
at the very least because I don't use an infantilizing, sexist, abusive, and pejorative tone, such as calling people "honey", "sweetheart", posting irrelevant pictures, and not cogently attacking the substance of what someone is saying.
Yes. The "I don't like your posting style" tactic. The irony is that while not attacking anything of substance (my style), you go onto accuse me of the same. I've told you already why I condescend to you, because I think you deserve the scorn. We've covered the pictures - they are all relevant, and I'll again task you with the mission, if you choose to accept it of finding a picture I've posted that lacks relevance per the discussion in here. I always address the substance, I again task you with finding where I have not addressed the substance.
You are clearly clueless per this discussion. Your baseless accusations only further emphasize that you've become way to emotionally involved here and probably just need to walk away.
And superstars "yucking" things up? Statistics being high doesn't amount to "yucking", and if anything is par for the course for SDN. You were the first person in here to derail the topic of this conversation in a major way. You were the one that took this topic from a majority "List 5 attributes" and attempted to interject your egocentric "I'm skeptical, the skepticism kicks in hard" blah blah that presupposes you carry the gospel truth in all things internal medicine.
Yes. I did change the course of this thread mostly because it was rather dead, and I had some musings on authorship. I am a little skeptical, and as someone who fashions herself a PhD, skepticism should be an comfortable and industrial tool for you. Personal, I think that perhaps you protest too much? Hm? Finally, I've never presupposed I carry the gospel message. I try to help out around here and I do. I have strong opinions and if I think something is bull**** I say so. You don't like my style - noted. You don't have to keep responding.
Yes I suppose people still had time to post things here over the weekend, but is that still any excuse to derail the subject at hand? Especially when this thread is supposed to be around for posterity? Make a new thread or something if you want a soapbox. For this you can't even bother to apologize or acknowledge in any way for the vague, barely tenuous association your post had with the thread. It sounded like you just wanted to throw in a monkey wrench into the stream and watch to see what would happen.
Well, I don't think I did anything wrong. Your outrage is particularly noted. I think if I would have known it would have blown up in this particular direction and fashion, then I would have started a new thread. Tactical error, if error at all. No one will give a **** about the posterity of anything in this thread years from now, so please save that little bit of sanctimony for someone who believes that nonsense.
It is clear by virtue of having over 10k posts that this ain't your first rodeo, but I am hard pressed to find any civility or acknowledgment of any other viewpoints in the posts you have made. I can't believe you would talk about humility when you reflexively lampoon others who disagree with you.
I'm more often civil than I am not. The question you need to ask yourself, if you care to do so, is: "Why am I not particularly civil to you?" Civility has nothing to do with agreement nor disagreement
per se, but rather with the tones and attitudes that drip from your statements on here. You want a more civil tone, don't post like a douchebag.
For example, in the IM ranking thread,
Which one?
you made some sweeping generalizations and opinions of places without even backing them up.
Show me some examples.
My main issue with your post in THIS thread was disagreeing with your value of lab tech experience, and you didn't try to refute that at all.
Can you ****ing read?
Let me direct you back to post #60. In my 5th response to you in that post I further delineated what I meant by "experience". But when given the choice between someone with a couple of case reports and someone with two years lab tech experience. I like the techy for reasons associated with being able to do the work I'm interested in having them do.
As for everything else you said or assumed about me, fortunately people in the right places have recognized my value and the CV, evaluations, grades, etc., that I have worked immensely hard to build up and maintain. On the wards, I treat nearly every patient as though they were my own parent, completely respect/stick up for/get along well with my colleagues, and fully respect my higher-ups. I don't need to be served humble pie, since it's my breakfast, lunch, and dinner; I know what my place is (still at the bottom of the food chain), and every day I painfully realize there are still miles to go. Your schadenfreude is fortunately irrelevant, as I have always and will continue to live with integrity.
You know all the most horrible people I ever knew SWORE they were the greatest people on earth - steal your TV and then help you look for it afterwards. The problem here is the incongruities with how you say, and seem to think you are, with the elitist, snobbish garbage you post here. In the face of an apparent logical contradiction, which cannot exist, it's time to reevaluate the premises. Good luck reconciling that.
