[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find that more posts don't respond to what the OP wrote/asked. that people with no experience with what the OP asked are responding or that they respond in an 'amped up' way (see http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/390999.page).  I expect those kinds of repsonses in GP/OT but responses in the SN forum used to be more measured.  The OP would still be told she was overreacting but in a more calm manner - the same manner I use with my kids.  Being so reactive doesn't calm/defuse a situation and it seemed that approach used to be the norm of this forum.  I miss it.    [/quote]
Those responses aren't bad at all[/quote]

Two out of the seven responses are definitely what I would call out of the norm for the forum:

[i]"How does this happen? Lady, do you know how many mistakes are made each year with regard to prescriptions?"[/i]

[i]"My god. A doctor is human? The horrors." [/i]

The tone of the third borderred on it (and although I wouldn't expect a doctor to memorize a chart, I would expect her to check it before refilling a prescription).
[i]"I would certainly not stop seeing a doctor whom I liked and trusted. Is she supposed to be a robot? Is she supposed to memorize your son's chart?"[/i]

Of course, maybe your perception is different if you're from a different part of the country.  For example, I understand people from New York can come across as brusque/rude.  But, typically, the tone in this forum had been more civil and considered.

I'm the person who wrote Post #3 that you have called out as "borderline" getting really mean.  I'm now not at all sure what you are looking for on this forum.  (((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))? and constant expressions of support?  Should I have told her that her son was victimized?[/quote]
