copros on hold?
i don't want to get into the politics of sdn but.... really?!?!?!
whatever he did or said that was offensive cant you just smack him on the wrist and tell him to tone it down...?
come on....

 

[2win]

Lame. Copro is one entertaining mofo when he is in the zone.

He was one of the most prolific posters.
I hope that he will get his privileges back - and I still hope that the "love triangle" will meet with some of us for a drink. Talking about passion - here we have few people!!!
That's anesthesia.

 

[Arch Guillotti]

Yes he is.

This was not a decision that was made lightly at all. The forum had been veering badly off course as of late (think of a train derailing). As per his own admission, he willfully contributed to the problems we were having (as did some others). The sticky above from Lee adresses some of the problems that we were having.

The particulars of the hold aren't important because the discussion that went into the decision was a reasonable one that was discussed amongst multiple persons very familiar with dealing with issues like this.

He'll be back and I will be glad when he gets here because he has a lot to add to the forum.

However, the forum has undergone a shift (for the better, I hope) and we simply can't have the disruption that has been present lately.

You know plank, doc 712 and eta were just as much at fault. I still see them posting.

This board has lost several good attendings over the last year, who regularly used to post. Id hate to see more leave.

 

[Eta Carinae]

How long does the hold last?

not necessary. we can all point fingers, and make lists, it's counterproductive.

let this be what it is and let's move on. copro will be back soon
and the forum will be better on the other side of this event.

and we can all say we learned something...

😕

If my postings here are bothering you please do me a huge favor and DO NOT READ anything I post.
You know where the ignore button is don't you?
I would also appreciate it if you keep your opinions about who is right and who is wrong to yourself.

I agree and I hope that everyone on the forum can make this a bit more of a pleasant place than it has been lately.

I am sure that many disagree with the management of things and thats OK because thats how moderation works. Sometimes statements need to be made and lines drawn in the sand. At any rate, a lot of thought from very experienced folks was put into this decision. I think the best thing for everyone to do is not try and read into the situation too much and instead concentrate on getting this forum back to the form it once was. Personally, I think this forum dominates all others. We consistently have very high numbers of viewers and I hope that everyone contributes.

Im not "ignoring" anyone b/c I have seen value on all sides. I never said there is a right or wrong side I equally find you all at fault and think that if there is to be punitive measures they should have been applied to all involved. So drop the sanctimonious BS.

 

[Planktonmd]

I am really tired of people that I never addressed and never knew they existed taking cheap shots at me on this forum.

Its not a cheap shot. You and copro opened the door for this in a public forum in front of everyone. I have said the same to him on other threads. And besides we have had words in the past in various political threads.

I havent said anything that wasnt reasonable and true. I(and Im sure everyone else) would like the forum to get back to some version of normality.

Great, if you want it to get back to normality why don't we start by discussing something else other than who should or should not be punished for whtat you perceive as wrong?

You know I will have drinks with you one day because I think you are a great guy. and before anyone says anything it's not a date!

[Arch Guillotti]

I have nothing to apologize for.

let's take responsibility for our actions

The personal conflicts that took place here were not his fault, and I take responsibility for my share of them

Plank, I am not trying to single you out, BUT, with all due respect:

You are talking out of both sides of your mouth. I am not trying to stir things up or pint fingers AT ALL. This board was a mess because of silly arguments and whatnot. Right now we are in the process of letting this mess settle out so people are going to vice their opinions. usnavdoc voiced a reasonable concern and I don't think there is any reason to jump down his throat. By arguing like this you are perpetuating the very problem we are trying to get rid of.

LET IT GO.

More than likely, those good attendings left precisely because of all the frivolous BS that is happening now. Perhaps when this nonsense is curbed UTSW and Jet will begin posting with regularity again.

 

[Bertelman]

It's amazing that the people implicated in the recent bickering just can't let it go.

Here's the lesson: This forum is worse off for all the crap that has been shoveled the last few weeks. It has certainly kept me away from posting and checking in. It's just childish and boring.

The quicker everyone can just let it go and move on, the quicker we will return to a productive forum.

Grow up. If you're worried about the size of your penis compared to other members on this forum, then feel free to post it in your sig. If you feel one of the dimensions may be sub-par, think about reporting the volume. It will mask whether your inadequacy is length or girth.

If you feel compelled to ALWAYS have the last word in an internet argument, find another forum. Preferrably one that was not established for the education of professionals.

 

[Noyac]

I must echo Bertlman's comments. Plank you are undoubtedly one of the instigators of the whole problem.

Lay off.

 

[Narcotized]

What exactly did you learn?

I learned there is more drama on here than an episode of Gray's Anatomy.

 

[Planktonmd]

I agree, you are in the process of fixing things and I am moving on but how can you move on if every other post some random guy will pop up and take a shot at you?
I admitted responsibility for my share but I did not start this mess, actually copro was on my ignore list and I had not responded to any of his posts for more than 2 weeks. before you guys decided to "fix" things.

If the consensus here that you guys want me to go then be it.

And one last thing: Noyac I have ZERO interest in your opinion and the last time I checked your name was not on the moderators list so quit acting like a mod.

You are spot on there! at least lately. I just got a PM from Eta saying not to use her name on line. Like I give a crap.

Everyone needs to just let this go. That means no more PMs saying silly **** as well.

 

[Gern Blansten]

I agree, you are in the process of fixing things and I am moving on but how can you move on if every other post some random guy will pop up and take a shot at you?

Not taking sides here, just pointing some things out. Take a look at your posts (and the posts of others) over the last month. The reason that "random" people may take pot shots at you (and others) is due to the disruption that the actions have caused. The fact that you are ready to apologize and move on is great. The odds that every single member of the forum who has been affected by the nonsense will be at the same point in their head and ready to forgive and forget is highly unlikely. Therefore, some damage has been done and it will take time to repair. The first step will be for people to let things go and decide to refrain from posting a negative response. Not everyone will reach that point at the same time, but if enough people ar eable to swallow their pride and not respond, the forum can eventually heal. So, you will probably continue to see some fallout from the last month's events. It will not magically disappear and some may feel the need to take a random potshot based on your previous actions. If you truly want to have it get better, it will take some inaction on your part to make it occur. Eventually these threads will fall into oblivion as they move to the 3rd and 4th pages that no one really looks at. I personally hope that all 3 parties involved stick around and continue to post.
First impressions are difficult to overcome, and for many posters, the past month has been their first impression of you and others. Give the rest of the forum time to get to the point that you claim to be at where you want to move on.

And one last thing: Noyac I have ZERO interest in your opinion and the last time I checked your name was not on the moderators list so quit acting like a mod.

This does not give the rest of the forum members the impression that you are ready to move on and let it go.

and I'm repeating it again-

REFRAIN FROM THE USE OF THIS (USER)NAME IN YOUR POSTS.

you are the one who needs to back off. Seriously.

Like seriously, leave me the **** alone. I don't know what you hope to achieve but you need to grow up and leave the name out of your vocab.

Do the entire world a favor and just pretend I don't exist.

I have nothing to gain from you and I don't understand this obsession with me. Stop being a stalker

 

[tucker27705]

Granted I have not been around much the last few weeks, but even if I were, I doubt I would have seen anything that would get my undies in a bunch. What's the fuss people? I guess I'm going to have to search around for some threads where the flames were burning. I love drama. Can't get enough reality tv. Who pulled the plug and why?
If someone says something funny, laugh.
If its interesting, take note.
If someone says something you don't like, ignore it.
What the heck, lighten up.

I'm confused. Where did this come from?

And why is everybody so angry on this forum? (general question, I've been following the trainwrecks)

[maceo]

this is easily the stupidest thread ive seen on here. you have no idea how silly you guys look . take it from a guy who pretty much stopped posting on this forum. and medstudents take note: this is exactly the same kind of bickering that goes on within anesthesia groups. can you imagine a whole career of this??

I never thought one could turn this thread into a reason to avoid the specialty.

You can.

This thread is also a great example of why one should never have kids.

This is the first I've read here so far, and I must say this is highly entertaining😀

 

[powermd]

I mainly read and post to the pain boards now, but still look over this forum almost daily. I don't participate anymore (like anyone cares...) because of this soap opera crap, and the testicularly-challenged self/mutual masturbation threads. The instigators for the most part used to be respectable contributors who acted like adults. They've devolved into a bunch of hypersensitive whiney little girls. Without mentioning names god forbid someone should kick dirt on my digital shoes by calling me a nonname or 'random guy'- I used to have a lot of respect for some of you as a resident a few years ago. WTF happened? Is this some newfangled internet form of cabin fever?

You've got to come back! One post short of 1,000!!!

 

[powermd]

Not exactly the reason I would hope attention would be drawn to my posts... but there it is, post #1000!

I'd just like to take a moment to thank all of you for helping make this day possible by drawing me into pointless arguments, flame wars, and object admiration threads over the last six years. Thank you. And God Bless SDN!

If there's one thing I've learned in obstetrics, its that if there's a vagina - no matter what it's attached to - there has been a penis inside of it, and will likely be another penis inside of it in the near future.
