I am guilty of rising to the bait. Probably the reason why my posts are being moderated and show up late. I guess I get tired of the same questions from the same people, and so I get short with them. "Here's your sign". At my old hospital in Virginia, before we moved here to Nevada, we used to have a diagnosis code in the ER for people like that. It was "TSTL" which translates to "to stupid to live". Or as my husband is fond of saying, "it's time to thin the herd". I just loose patience with people like that. It's hard for me to imagine people baiting people on purpose. Of course, I don't comprehend animal cruelty or child abuse, either.
