View submission: /u/MRItopMD loses patience with reddit pedantry
I felt the same way. Generalizing in the way mritopMD did is just garden-variety bigotry. He's punching down at those he feels superior to.
Buddy must have spent sincere amounts of time around people who annoy him to go off like that. I feel lucky that I haven't experienced the same thing.

hmm, thinking about your second paragraph there - i've been in situations where people annoyed me into telling them off in some pretty ruthless ways.
we should not be so quick to condemn mritopMD, sometimes you just gotta let the people know.
that said, i think this stuff needs to be targeted, case by case. its exhausting but everybody has a reason for what they do. problem is when everybody becomes the enemy, toxic zeitgeist and mistrust of motives become standard...

I did not realize this till I started school but medicine has an obnoxiously pretentious culture to it (MRItopMD is a doc I follow on reddit and respect). Every other conversation I walk into is one group of people talking about how inferior a certain person or group of individuals must be for some completely arbitrary reason. I would bet a lot of his colleagues are like that.
