No I wont "tone it down a little bit". I will continue to freely speak my mind as I see fit. I have also said I dont see myself as any better than corporate ODs. My point was that these wally ODs are not good for the future of our profession. Period. While PGE may ask what you feel to be great questions, she is up for a real awakening from her crayon world of paper clouds. As a first year student, you would think that PGE would be more interested in learning from others that have been doing it for a while rather than speaking as though she has some kind of clue.

With all due respect...
You have no idea who I am or what I believe. I like that because I disagree with you I am automatically living in a "crayon world of paper clouds". I wouldn't be on this forum, or ODWire, or POP if I wasn't actively seeking the advice of those wiser than me and have been doing this far longer than I have. I spent the year prior to optometry school working with one of the most brilliant ODs I'll probably ever know. He took the time (between running his five offices)to speak with me at length about the profession, and how to be successful in it. You also have no idea that I have every intention of going into private practice, and that I share many of the same feelings as you do about corporate optometry in general. Where you and I differ is that I am able to "love the sinner, hate the sin" so to speak. I disagree with the tactics of alienating corporate optometrists by calling them prostitutes and ******. That isn't going to make them come to private practice any quicker... certainly if it means they'll one day act like you.
