Moderator ventana Posted October 29, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted October 29, 2019 full disclosure once again this thread was derailed by a poster who has now been banned for a week I deleted all the follow up posts and will let the initial post remain (my post) as it is a nice positive article on PA's and the success we can and do bring to communities.

Moderator ventana Posted October 29, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted October 29, 2019 16 minutes ago, Lightspeed said: One of the posters, wrote something disparaging that was stigmatizing mental illness. I called him on it and reported the post. Ventana covered for him by deleting the post. I kept screen shots. Lightspeed has been warned numerous times on posting off topic he/she has been banned for not following guidelines 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope2PA Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Lightspeed may say things that piss many PA's off. However, what he/she says is often the bitter truth. The truth hurts, what you gonna do about it?!!! The remarks are sometimes a slap in the face, but PA's have needed a slap to get moving on title and independence progress. So his/her remarks may be a good motivator to get some folks PO'd enough to do something about the future of the PA (Medical Practitioner, Medical Science Practitioner….what ever new title may be) profession. My, not so old, two cents! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted October 31, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted October 31, 2019 Hope2PA - that was the hardest part - I solidly agreed with a lot of what he was saying this is my post summed it up for me After a great amount of thought and deliberation and then his most recent personal attacks and refusal to keep his posts on topic(I removed the all posts to not show bias in a thread I started congratulating a VT PA in Derm). This was even after being warned by another moderator. I hit the wrong button (never have I had to ban someone) and this has since been corrected. I apologize. I personally struggled with it a lot as I agreed with a lot of what he was saying. He made great points about professional independence and had some interesting insight into political advancement. Unfortunately he was unable to voice these opinions with out making personal attacks and derailing almost every thread onto a different topic which almost exclusively was that NP are independent and we are not. Also personal attacks and not respecting other peoples view points are not the way to a discourse which is inclusive and helpful. Most of his posts have been restored as he did bring up many good points, it just how the message was delivered makes a difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
