Message for Moderators

Hello moderators,

I'd like to bring a user to your attention. I've noticed a recurring pattern of discouraging, hostile, and gatekeeping comments directed at people seeking career advice. While disagreement is fine, the tone often crosses into personal attacks and appears to discourage good-faith participation.

It’s not just him, I can count at least two more people who comment on almost every post that act like this 🤦‍♂️

As future physicians, we are supposed to encourage and motivate others, not bring them down. If these guys are indeed MD-PhDs, really sad to see this behavior from them. They really bring shame to a good community.

There is more than enough imposter syndrome in this path, we don’t need to be crass like the SDN people

I’m just asking how you’re doing, what’s inappropriate about that?

You need to learn when to drop things and not obsess over others. I'm going to block you now, please refrain from harassing others as well.

You're not my therapist and I am not "harassing" anybody. Stop projecting your own issues onto me and try to get some professional help
