Negativity?

Whats going on people?

I've been coming to this board for a while. There have always been debates and even some heated discussions (which can be stimulating and even productive). Lately I see far too much flaming and just plain meanness (that are neither pleasant to read or serve any good).

first post I click into, someone complaining about spelling???? wtf?? why do you care how someone else spells?

next post, people flaming because they think the thread violates HIPAA, again why do you care? I mean if you are concerned by it don't post info you aren't comfortable with but don't flame others.

next post I read, people blasting the poster because they are upset about the bosses pet. all the responses I saw were nit picking little points and passing up the real reason the person was upset.

Come on people, this is supposed to be fun. If we wanted stress or to be nit picked, preached to or flamed we could all just go to work where we at least get paid for stress. Ease up on each other. The people that come here are all our peers and yes sometimes we are going to disagree or even argue but flaming just to flame isn't cool.

Please don't try to say you are trying to educate or right a wrong because your not helping anyone. The only thing flames or corrections do are to gain a small stroke to your own ego at the expense of others. Not to mention the fact that it's just plain tired and old.

Please remember that the people on this board are just like you and you wouldn't like others to flame or correct you would you?

I don't consider the "I hate Bush" thread a "negative" thread at all.

I think it was an attempt to lighten up. To make light of and inject a little humor into all the really SERIOUS debates we've had going on... it's been a hard year on all of us. MUCH harder on MANY others in other nations... which affects us and our psyche as well.

A bit of satire and political venting is every bit as acceptable and neccessary as nursing venting. :cool:
