It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Yeah, pediatric care is both tremendously rewarding and horrendously soul crushing depending on what department you're working in. You eventually build up some callouses over the years, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit summers haven't lost some of its luster because of my job.

Engaging with families who went from having some of the best time of their lives to the worst moments of their existence over the course of the evening is still tough.
