it looks like he got banned for life?
Posts are not the same as followers just FYI.He had 11K posts... He should go to twitter where people have a thicker skin
I’m glad we are not all in an office building or else I would be concerned that a mad gunman might walk in and shoot up the place. People these days are nutz.
Sorry, I didn’t mean that Psai was nutz. See my post that followed.Oh snap. “Verified expert.” What does that mean? Seems fancy.
Good riddance. There’s only two users on SDN who I’ve consistently thought were, well, if I say I’ll be end up with the same fate as psai (Hint: it’s a body part). Can’t say I’ve ever found his posts in other forums tolerable. I’m frankly surprised it took this long.
With the way many incoming medical students are, I am not surprised that things are happening on that side.
He was basically fighting for the right to say DO schools aren't real medical schools and DO students and DOs deserve to be disrespected as physicians. He was always quite elitist, but once he became a resident he had to dial it up so that he could still put down colleagues since your undergrad and medical school don't matter as much once you're in residencyThe moderation on this site is heavy handed on the premed and med student forums (or maybe more sensitive people reporting?). You have to be much more careful there.
Its important to note that barring major problems (like doxxing someone) established posters don't get banned from a single incident. Dude had been on probation/post hold a number of times that I can remember. At some point you just have to say "enough is enough".The moderation on this site is heavy handed on the premed and med student forums (or maybe more sensitive people reporting?).

Is that a derogatory statement towards my “verified expert” label?Oh snap. “Verified expert.” What does that mean? Seems fancy.
I understand. But as someone who has been put on a 1 month hold or whatever you call it for pretty mundane stuff it becomes a slippery slope.Its important to note that barring major problems (like doxxing someone) established posters don't get banned from a single incident.

I know lol. I’m a DO. He has said his fair amount of **** to me.He was basically fighting for the right to say DO schools aren't real medical schools and DO students and DOs deserve to be disrespected as physicians.

It means that everything I say Is verified and therefore nobody can argue with me from here on out.Lol.
Seriously. What does that label mean? I’ve seen it pop up on a couple regulars names recently.

And yet you have survived.I know lol. I’m a DO. He has said his fair amount of **** to me.
I'm going to guess...dipriMAN...So what do you think psai’s new username is going to be?
Thanks for the correction. Let me rephrase what it means. It means that I have been verified as an “expert” and that nobody here can argue with anything I say.
Pre-med forum is land of the snowflakes, gotta tread VERY lightly

I’m really hoping med school and residency toughens these people up. Good lord.
Just sick the OB nurses on them, their skin will thicken up real quick.
I think what he was trying to say was that a 11K member should almost NEVER get banned for life. He should have been sent away for a few days to chill, next time for a few more days, then for a few weeks, but there are very few things that should get an old an active member banned for life. I can see Psai "looking for it", but still banning somebody like him for life sends exactly one very dangerous message: this forum doesn't care about the people who contribute to it.Posts are not the same as followers just FYI.
You are giving terrible advice. Many DOs serve as academic faculty, private practice group partners all across the country. Instead of telling him to change his bigoted POV, you tell him to go broadcast it in another social media channel. Nice! That will serve him well.
How many warnings before you get banned?I think what he was trying to say was that a 11K member should almost NEVER get banned for life.

I have decades of activity on online forums, and I have personally seen some very poor moderation on this forum (not from our section mods). It occasionally borders autocratic policing (i.e. "my way or the highway"). It was addressed to me from a low userid moderator, and I chose to avoid confrontation, but I felt incredibly disrespected.
I don't agree with that at all. From what I can tell, the guy toed/crossed the line too many times. There's only so many speeding tickets one can get before you get your license taken away.I think what he was trying to say was that a 11K member should almost NEVER get banned for life.

You don't need a limit, just longer and longer "vacations". At one point, maturity kicks in.How many warnings before you get banned?
There has to be a limit at some point.

I am sure, Arch. I can see him do all the wrong things. Rule #1: don't talk back to the police. Just do what the man in uniform says. He probably did talk back, which probably pissed people off even more.No.
He pushed the limits.
He got canned and he did it to himself. It’s on him.
Except that's not what happened at all. He's been on post hold and probation probably a dozen times.You don't need a limit, just longer and longer "vacations". At one point, maturity kicks in.
You cannot say to a person: you've been fine for n thousand posts, but now you wrote something we don't like, so please go to hell.
Fair enough. I remember when I put him on ignore myself.Except that's not what happened at all. He's been on post hold and probation probably a dozen times.
Except that a member who contributes to SDN does more than a driver on the highway. This forum is the totality of our contributions, some more valuable some less.I don't agree with that at all. From what I can tell, the guy toed/crossed the line too many times. There's only so many speeding tickets one can get before you get your license taken away.
Plus it ain't like the guy can't just create a new account and start posting again.
