Can't we just be....Co-workers

[Scaramedic]

I wouldn't know about all PUMs, of for that matter tiered systems. If I expressed that view my apologies. I should keep my opinions of Fire based EMS to myself.

I do know that I don't hear a lot of sabre rattling at my system and in my division. As for the other division and services, I can offer no opinion.

You don't have to apologize for anything. Also I doubt your feelings about Fire based EMS are any different than most everyone here. Have you noticed there aren't any Maltese crosses on this website. :wink:

Second, the medic vs basic has been alive and well in several of the states I worked in...plus, revelation time

Yea yea, you said you would marry me too you snake!

Back on topic:

I can not tell you how frustrating it has become to open up links on PURELY ALS subject matter in well marked forums to find crap (the last shredded thread EMS research) and the 12 lead thread was simply a lesson in frustration. On three occasions, I did try to keep things on topic or redirect it back to the debate(s) at hand, recognising that things will go astray a bit these are complex topics.

Sorry but when Mr. high JINKS started in with the drither again, I completely lost it ! Sorry but some twits only read the last page of the thread. Hey, I am not for censorship or more policing, quite simply ... go reread the rules of engagement or go so off topic as to be just a distruption for the common good in advancing the EMS community at large, can you just imagine what visitors with some education think when they "check us out"? sheesh !

Its dragging all of us down to a lowest common denominator, not basic! Bloody primative when mindless disputes that have NOTHING to do with the Topic by the original posters .... aargh.

To that end I propose a "solution" just hit REPORT asap to ADMIN / AK "WAY OFF Friggin TOPIC" it is really sad that this has to come to more moderation, thing is, it is really negatively affecting the site, we lose ALL credibility in the pulic eye .... and they are watching !

cheers

This is almost like ,"Can't we all just get along?''

We have to remember that there are a lot of people on here with different levels training. And there are so many topics that relate to all levels of training and experience.

We cover a lot of diverse subjects it's hard to keep it all separated sometimes. Sure there might be an inappropriate post made by someone either trying to get into a conversation that they aren't qualified to be in. Or it could be some idiot who thinks he knows more than he really does, you just don't know at first. But I think for the most part we can tell whose who.

I will admit that the bashing get's a little harsh, but there are some who need to be more thick skinned. But's that just life.

All I'm saying is we just have to be reminded that there are just a lot of different people with a lot of different topics and at times it might be a little over whelming.

At the risk of being bashed or whatever, may be a little less bashing is in order. And on the other hand, don't get over your head and try to impress. Remember, we're for the most part professionals taking part in a social setting.

Ok, Let me have it. :computer:

And there are some who need to be skinned alive. :twisted:

I also lost it, good ALS debate is far and few between here and having someone come in and muck it up was beyond frustrating.
