Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that certain members will post a topic that they darn well know is going to cause strife on our BB and then just disappear?
They post topics such as RN vs. BSN
LPN vs. RN
BSN vs. MSN
(what's with the "vs." isn't that for COMPETITORS?)
etc, etc, blah blah...and then , poof, they're gone or maybe, just maybe, they'll have a simple minded reply and then disappear until they start their next thread set out to divide.
Maybe I'm just tired of seeing so much of it, maybe I'm just tired tonight, period...but I see it happening alot.
IMO, I think most are very closed minded, judgemental BORED people who instigate what is "supposedly" a discussion ha ha and then sit back and watch some of the members of this board feed right into their game.
I don't know why, and personally, I am just about ready to say so long to this board because of it.
These threads get the most views, replies, etc and these posters eat that right up. They must enjoy strife amongst nurses and I am going to go out on a limb and say they are people who suffer from very low self-esteem, you know the kind....don't feel secure in their position in nursing or in life so try to bring everyone down with their own miserable lack of self-worth and smooth talking ways of posting.
Of course there are those replies that smack of their own low sense of self worth when they reply in what appears to be a positive way but they are "implying" something else. ya know, got to get that point across....
What a statement this makes that so many hop right in and post replies defending theirselves or their positions...unless, of course, some are not being the ones written about so they add their 1 cent and move on...there are all kinds....come on now, can't most of us tell already these people are TROLLS, really now, let's all come together as NURSES and stop their plight to divide us or they will surely succeed and who knows what this BB will become.
I don't care if you have 12-16 mos preparation, 2 yrs, 4yrs or more. We are ALLNURSES and there are good and bad just as in any profession. Yes, I typed profession.
I'll some it up this way. If someone feels they have to post a topic that begins with so and so vs. so OR "not to flame anyone" but I .....yadda, yadda, yadda, I pretty much know it's going to be a real "ah, I'm bored, so let's start this again" type thread and won't give them the benefit of a reply...that's just me.
