**sigh** Look man, no one likes you because you have a burdensome personality. All these people can't be wrong, maybe you should just accept the fact that you are an obnoxious person and leave the rest of us alone. Some people just suck ass; you happen to be one of those people.
everyone's entitled to their opinions. i've had several people PM me to say deragatory things about you as well. i however will not be so rude as to post the comments.

Why would people PM you to talk about Lady Jubilee? Are you their camp counselor? I find that very hard to believe that people PM you for the sole purpose of saying they don't like someone.

And regardless, I would like to take a moment to say that Lady J and I have both posted on the thread about biochemistry being divine, and we have opposing viewpoints. However, she has always written her words with respect and conviction, and has never disrespected me or my beliefs. That's the way to argue. I wish you'd take a page from her book.

you know it's not worth responding to you or anyone else. All i did was say i did not think someone's pic (the very someone who curses me out all the time) was attractive drunk. I was not nasty about it, just stated a fact. I am entitled to my opinion. I was bombarded with criticism ad nauseum. where have you and everyone else been when he was nasty and cruel to me on numerous threads? no one said anything about him being rude. in addition, not that i think it's right, have you seen how many rude comments are made to people on this board everyday. why are you just picking on me? double standard for some reason?

and they just happened to comment about how stupid the dialogue in this thread has become, and mentioned her and others in particular. unlike what she stated everyone doesn't hate me and several agreed with me and told me so on PM.
 
Way back from the OP:
I expect Prana MD to be very wise and interesting so I always pay attention to her posts.
Awwww, sniff, Lady. 😍 I'm touched. No, I'm just like all y'all.

I'm so moved, I think I'll finally ...

So you just stated fact....and are entitled to your own opinion?

I am usually not one to be disrespectful of other's opinions, but you seem to be a particularly negative influence on most SDN threads. You try to be critical without taking responsibility for your words. People probably "pick on you" because you have this history. I also strongly disagree with anyone who persecutes others (i.e. gay people) in the name of religion. I, being a black woman, have been subject to some of the same religion based discrimination (i.e. black people have the mark of Cain; God wants women to be submissive, etc.). You and others like you give religious people a bad name 👎 Like I said before, you have a burdensome personality and, as far as I'm concerned, you have few to no productive posts and are not welcomed on this tread.

Well, I was correct in saying that you are wise and interesting. I always enjoy reading your posts 🙂

so you persecute people who believe in fundamental Christianity and the literal interpretation of the Bible? a little bit two-faced are we?
 
and i will publically apologize if i sounded so malicious and cruel in this thread. i really felt i was only stating my opinion, and really failed to see it sounded so cruel...but i will submit to all your opinions and recognize it must have sounded cruel and i whole-heartedly apologize

I haven't read the "numerous posts" where ajt was nasty to you, so I cannot speak of them. However, there is a quality to your insults that just grates on people. If you flippantly make nasty comments about someone's appearance, guess what, people are going to take notice and be irritated. Also, bringing up that someone is gay when it has nothing to do with the subject matter is rude, when the comment is coming from someone who has repeatedly gotten into arguments about homosexuality (as you have.) You obviously don't approve of being gay, and it seems like you brought it up to try to touch some nerve.

The worst part about you, though, is that you think you're a victim. You think that you are nothing but sweet and loving, and that anyone who doesn't agree is either 1. a bully who is picking on you "for no reason", 2. the anti-christ without morality, or 3. crazy! You refuse to be self-critical, to analyze why people are upset with you, or to accept that their complaints may have some merit. You refuse to believe that anything you do or say could be offensive. You fail to try to understand other people's point of view or to respect a difference of opinion.

You may have gotten into top schools, although I hesitate to believe that you have gotten in everywhere you (or your MDapps profile) claim. (Yes, I know which one is yours, many of us do, and you know that.) Regardless of whether you are going to a top school or wherever, you have a lot of growing up to do before you will become a good physician. You need to learn to listen to people and to respect other viewpoints, and to stop believing everyone is out to get you.
 
This seemed like a pretty harmless thread when it first started. It's obviously degenerated over the past few pages. Let's refrain from the personal attacks.

P.S. I have no avatar...is that even worse?! 😱

Things that make you go,'hmm.....'

Such pressure! 😉 Tx. (Do y'all realize that that will mean "treatment" someday? What will we IM???)
ajt = big hottie, end of story

That's what studying for the MCAT will do to you! Standardized test-induced albinism. In that photo, I'm working on a gnarly sunburn at Burning Man.

Persecution and disagreement are two very different things.

true, and generally the deliverer feels it is disagreement and the receiver feels it's persecution; so it's all a matter of perception. you constantly feel you are just disagreeing, but i feel it's much stronger than that.

ok, i'm out of here. i already apologized and meant it; i don't need this continuous repetition of statements made ad nauseum especially from someone who just joined the board a couple of months ago.

good night

...but your signature says you're white....so which is it? More, 'hmmm.....'

wait, are you a Hare Krishna disciple?

I found it interesting how I expect people to look based on their avatar pictures. For example, I expected Tinkerbelle to be small, white, and kind of cute (like Tinkerbelle). I expect Prana MD to be very wise and interesting so I always pay attention to her posts. I pay attention to Brain because I really liked that show and everything written by Shredder seems obnoxious because I think Donald Trump is Obnoxious. When I read OSUdoc08's posts, I always hear a country accent in my head.

This made me realize, we need to put faces to words...PICTURE THREAD!!
How do people's avatars make you feel about them?
Did anyone expect me to look like this:
tinkerbelle is cute! 😍

Sorry about the personal attacks. We will try to direct this thread back to it's light-hearted original purpose.

And having no avatar is not worse; it just means that we all have to judge you using only your words instead of your picture. 🙂

Yeah. You guys were so busy arguing, no one even bothered to make fun of me for saying I was 4'11''. I'm practically a Polly Pocket! I feel very ignored.

Aww amy it just adds to your cuteness! My little sister had a huge collection of polly pocket, and hey she's 4'11" too...
 
Sorry to cut in...but I noticed no one had commented on this poster/photo.

Myodana does some serious dragging. I think that might indicate that in general she is incredibly sloppy. However, she is likely unashamed or likewise unaware of the serious faux pas she is commiting with that up hill pole.

Please pick that thing up!!!

Haha thanks! But the difference between your sister and I is that she's probably eight, right?

Someone once told me that fructose could stunt your growth, so I spent years cursing myself for drinking so much juice as a kid. Talk about gullible! :laugh:

LOL they should make an SDN reality show


Better yet, the christian clique (led by psychodoctor) and the gay clique (led by ajt2003) should do a version of that awful gwen stefani video where they're all gossiping and fighting like high school. :laugh: :laugh:

Oh, and you're fat. That is all.

i am proud to be a chico state student because i really appricate the amount of time i get to spend with my professors...

but i am proud to have grown up in Chico because it led me to have good taste in beer before i was 16...

But why kill me? 🙁 There are so many more worthy premeds on here you could kill if it were SDN island.

it isn't lord of the flies... so should i pull a Dostoevsky and go at her with an axe and spend 6 really long posts describing said ax and then post a 7th post stating that "i killed Dr. Cynthia with an ax" (a la crime and punishment style)?










i'm confused and in need of guidance...
 
I'm beginning to think this whole thread is a figment of my fever-ridden imagination. I need some sleep.
