    Guess what?

    I AM a doctor. The kind that treats patients.

    Never, ever, asked anyone to call me that. If they did, in a non-professional environment, I would just insist on "George."

      I liked the Twitter comment “a person’s insistence on being called doctor is inversely proportional to their value to society”. Too bad that doctor probably doesn’t know what inversely proportional means.

      Education is extremely important.

        @Horace ROFL. And agree on the Twitter thing.

        I wonder if Ms. Dr. Thang lays that tripe on blacks as well.

        Yeah, probably. They might even get the expanded version for their sins.

            That's it, I've had it. Time to give voice to my idea I've held in secret for way too long.

            Time to relinquish my condemnation of censorship in all its forms and sadly concede that the time has come when the glorious freedom of uncensorship has left the barn.

            We must mandate -- YES, BY LAW! -- that all socials appoint a Stupidity Moderator. Every post that is submitted must pass muster with the S.M. before it sees the light of day. S/He gets to say, "Pass. Pass. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail. Pass. Pass -- No, on second thought, Fail." And so on.

            Gawd, think of the relief.

                    Right, but if you're on the platform, you have a responsibility to understand how it works. But, they make it easy because they want people to use it.

                    You of course also have the option not to be on the platform. Which is completely understandable.

                    But calling all of Twitter/Facebook/Insta/TikTok/whatever a cesspool when all you know about it is the most ridiculous shit that's shared around would be ignorant.

                    Please love yourself.

                      My sister-in-law lent me her National Trust card once so that I could get free parking at some stately home or other.

                      I have to say, it felt pretty good to be Doctor for a day.

                      I was only joking
