ahhh... just have to say how refreshingly non-annoying this forum has been lately since the kids who couldn't handle some of the rough play in the sandbox went and built their own. wonder what earthshattering and deeply provocative discussions they're having over there... not. :laugh:

keep up the great work guys! you aren't missed.

Hate to tell you this, but they're all still here and posting.

and they're actually some of the most informative posts.
 
no, seriously. thanks. there's really been no noise at all on this forum lately. and, a lot of you are admittedly cross-posting in both places (because apparently you have that much time).

just realize that you don't really have a forum over there as much as you have a country club. and, if you are having such great conversations and discussions and not freely disseminating that info over here where people who need it are much more likely to stumble in, well, then shame on you. it's always been my experience that after a while listening to the same people over and over again blather on and on gets tiresome anyway. and, you're going to have to continuously recruit, because that's the only way you're going to get fresh blood. i give it a few months until it becomes completely boring. at the very least, you've let some of the equally, if not more so, obnoxious members into your club who generally aren't posting over here anymore. thanks.

so, i'll continue to stay in the real world. i'm already a member of enough clubs. like i said, most of you aren't missed. i wish a few more of you wouldn't cross post. so, have fun up in your little clubhouse where it's safe. i guess i'm one of the few who actually likes open discussion and the occassional flame wars because i must be that rare individual who actually knows how to ignore trolls without having to segregate myself.
 
I, for one, happen to be enjoying it. There have been some interesting and informative posts, and of course great humor as always. I don't miss all the nanny nanny boo boo stuff and other bs....got better things to do. I hear plenty of that crap from my kids. Things got beyond the "healthy debate" many times. 😳
 
One thing to think about is hearing one sided views which then reduces that persons ability to hear what their disagreeing counterpart's opinion is. Understanding both parties view is key to either resolving conflict and or prevailing in that conflict.

Another issue is informing and or misinforming the public which ever one you may be trying to push. I thought forums were all about the passing of info and opinion and debate that many times leads to constructive ideas to assist readers and posters on not only in clinical but political, practice and professional issues. Volatile hit the nail on the head by noting the disappearance of aurgument, trash talking and personal shot taking since the vaginal birth of your private forum. Yet please note that the frequently blammed culprits of the trash talking that oppose many views held here continue to post on the main forum with no problems. How is that?

At least the inaccurate rhetoric preached here by many grossly uninformed and inexpereinced med students not yet in the OR has stopped and is longer continuing to misinform the public and other healthcare professionals. SO to sum things up, I love your private forum as well. Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Hi there Nitecap 😉

I know you must just hate the fact that you can't jump in and mess up our threads anymore.

😉

Things are much more pleasant w/o ya.

The views aren't one-sided. They are from the inexperienced asking the educated-and-experienced. Those educated-and-experienced being asked often have disagreements. Your "views" have contributed to the closing of a number of threads and a closed thread is not beneficial to anyone.

You are absolutely right, forums are for constructive discussions. Now these discussions can actually take place.

You haven't posted in more than a week. The main forum has been nice, peaceful and quiet for more than a week. At the risk of "blamming" someone, a correlation may exist.

So an SRNA will apply his considerable expertise and even more considerable "experience" (not to mention his vast education in language arts) to enlighten the masses and remove the shaded veil cast far and wide by the nefarious medical students attempting to poison an unsuspecting public. An unsupecting public ripe for brainwashing and easy prey for the relentless proponents of deceit. Said SRNA will illuminate the darkness clouding the minds of a public duped by evil. He will be a beacon of hope that enlightens the starless night of falsehood!

Be that beacon of hope, Nitecap.

Be the beacon.

Yes, be the beacon.

Holy **** Cloud9, I couldn't have come up with that if I were trained at Mount Holy Cross School of medicine. 👍

I dont think the advice that the experienced attendings give is onesided at all. On the contrary it is pretty diverse. Some support the ACT, some despise. Some love the good ole boy club new forum and some claim it to be stupid. They were not the ones stirring the pot. Its typical, I make a broad statement opposing your views but not calling anyone out and you take a personal shot and alter my original before reposting it. Dirty politics man.

You didn't deny you were NiteCap, so does that mean its you?
 
all this fuss and creating a new forum just to spite a handful of posters. lame.

👎 🙄 🙁
 
Damm Shazamm , Cloud9 that was was some wicked Shakespearean/Hemmingway shiit!! Now we just gotta mix in some Pantera rifts and we puttin' you on American Idol. My take on all this private forum/banning charade is the board must develop TOLERANCE. Throw all the opinions, facts and knowledge and personal attcks in the hopper; we'll somehow sort it all out and ride on down the road... ---Zippy

I was kinda worried the ostrich lady was gonna get me. 😱

But seriously, the implication that he was unfairly "blammed" for the past, that the rhetoric was spread by others, and that he was just here simply to inform the public and not to spread rhetoric was, quite frankly, preposterous and I simply replied in kind. This compounded by the notion that he had so much more experience and expertise than other students here. It is rather unfortunate, as he would occassionally have something beneficial to contribute.

In truth, I have no probs with midlevels doing what they are trained to do as they are a vital part of the team and they have things to teach to others as well. I am grateful for any constructive info they have and some of their posts are very insightful.

Some of what I typed was kinda corny tho: a beacon of hope that enlightens the starless night of falsehood? :laugh: No idea where that came from.
