With any process which has been witnessed a vast number of times, we can factor in typical variables and foresee the probable probable outcomes.
So it is with responses on this well-trafficked forum. Through the years, it has been noted that numerous thread topics repetitively recycle, as do the responses.
Here's a few examples of situations and responses:
Personality problem with a patient and/or family member? "They're just being jerks, you're good, they're bad, just apathetically have empathy for them and remember to CYA by objectively charting that they were acting like jerks."
Problem with your job? "Quit ASAP and have another one lined up, but don't burn any bridges, because that might come back to bite you in the butt."
Problem with a coworker? "Confront that coworker by ignoring them, and report their behavior to the manager, but don't be a tattletale because nobody likes a tattletale."
Problem with a superior? "Report them to HR who won't do anything about it because they're on administration's side, so see Problems with your job?"

Another way in which threads become bashing or pecking parties is through sarcastic humor.
I am guilty as charged.
However, in usually being humorously self-deprecating, the one I bash is unlikely to be offended and/or retaliate.
It is noted that we enjoy putting others down for their lack of common sense or imprudent decisions. If another carries the ball, let the bashing begin!
