You know, when you’re all reasonable and shit, you really make it hard for some of us to continue being pissy and short-tempered.
On the other hand, with your patients, were you to stop writing referrals and start diagnosing and prescribing willy-nilly, you’d become VERY popular. While I’m sure your BS detector is as finely tuned as possible, it’s best to hand those guys off to to the pros.
Are you sure hitting the person with a rolled newspaper isn’t on the list? I, personally, believe it is an important adjunct to the treatment of all sorts of problems, from OCD and MRSA to refusing to use ones shift keys. swatting lobstermobster’s pinkies for not doing what God intended for them
Well your posts are often confrontational from the first in the thread. I suspect that is why you are garnering some strong negative feelings towards you. I have no problem with this, but I have observed it. I think you will continue to ruffle some feathers. I would not sweat it as long as you learn where you have pushed the bounds to the point where a mod steps in. You need to be careful at times outside the pit, to speak in semi-specific generalities without directly talking about another poster. If they really irritate you, take them here to the pit.
As to grammar, I was ripped for my terrible grammar and spelling. I have improved, but I still lag in this area. Apparently, I have improved enough not to get complaints any more and just occasional teasing. On this board, bad grammar will leave many people dismissing your point of view, so it is worth taking the extra effort with punctuation. You don’t appear to have problems with spelling, for those of us that do, I recommend installing IESpell*. It is great and has some nice features like being able to add a right-click option to look up the word in the Merriam Webster or Wikipedia.
I hope you take this as helpful and not snarky. It was intended to be helpful.

The irony of this is that in post 29 the OP acknowledges that she messed up with this pitting and says she’d request it to be shut down but she probably deserves the pile on she’s going to get. Wait, that’s not real irony, is it? More like Morrisettian Irony.
Anyway, you’re all … you’re glib … oh, wait already done that. Nevermind.
Using the actual words “post padding” seem to work. Although the last time I tried it, it took 7 pages. Your Patience May Vary.
Still, there is some people trying to actually make sense on their posts and stick to the issue of OCD ODing. God bless them.
Someone post something inflammatory I want to yell at fatties.
You’re a Fat-Butt.
I think this is my favorite thread in a long time.
I’d like to keep it open and active for as long as we can.
Something inflammatory about overweight people?
Hmmm… Can’t think of a thing.
No, you’re Fatty McFattington from Fatass Bend, Outer Fatgolia.
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS!
Isn’t Grossbottom more or less synonymous with “fat ass”?
Only if you don’t speak English as a first language, ya sauerkraut eating fatty.
Maybe it’s just really deformed, like there’s only one cheek and the one that’s left is covered with pustules and weeping ulcers.
It’s never lupus. : (
This is my something-thousand-and-somethingth post! Woo hoo! Par-TAY!
One of the radio stations here sponsored a Walk for Lupus thing a month or so ago and there was a part of me that wanted to put on a wrinkled shirt, a nice blazer, not shave for a few days, get a cane and then stand there with a placard that says “It’s Never Lupus”
Okay–so now we’re trying to shut it down? Here goes:
Peer to peer downloading via BitTorrent! Azureus is best!
Smoking marijuana is more fun than drinking beer!
Gratuitous single link to rude picture!
Did it work? 
How delicious. So, how you doin’?
I wish a painful and messy death to post padders.
Pro-tip for all you fatties: don’t post pad. Now what should I have for lunch today? New place down the street has good falafel, but this hootchie secretary I dig goes to Subway alot.
