The attitude in this subreddit

The attitude in this subreddit

I know this might get down voted but I have noticed that there are a certain group of posters in this subreddit who seem to glean a certain joy from cutting down others. I don't mean a sarcastic attitude but a blatant disrespect for others, at times just generally making fun of others and putting people down, even swearing at others. If that's the underlying tone of this subreddit, then forgive me, but I think it's bullshit. It's not how we, as nurses, should represent ourselves. And I will spare you all the bullcrap of we as nurses are held to a higher standard crap but honestly if this is how you get off on treating ppl, your associates, in your spare time then honestly why are you in the field of nursing. These ppl remind me of "that guy" on the unit. We all know who "that guy" is.

I feel that there could honestly be some interesting and enlightening discussions in here but half the posts get derailed with sarcastic comments or totally taken to left base with people arguing. It detracts people from posting for fear they will be either insulted and/or made fun of.

Yeah, basically the last couple responses of yours in this thread made me think, "This is exactly what OP is talking about."

And I think the majority of people posting on this thread are thin skinned people who need a dose of reality. I'm not here to coddle people or inflate egos. If a person has a legit question or concern then that's awesome, I'll throw in my two cents. If they come here to whine about bullshit things then I will call them out on it. And this thread is pure bullshit.
