When the first words out of your mouth are credentials i stop listening. Get someone else to stroke you off.

I get turned off by self stroking puffery too, but in a hearing setting I think they are just trying to establish their credentials for the audience.

I get it. My only point is if you want me to take you seriously don't introduce yourself as, hi, im a doctor. Hi, im not impressed. You know?

In a tweet, or thread, characters are limited. You have to get to the point and add support for why you believe your opinion matters. Credentials help. It’s applied regularly in fields with interprofessional collaboration — when you go to the hospital, each specialty tells you who they are, what they do, and why they’re doing it. Hell, any time we want a problem solved by someone else we ask for proof of credentials via name/badge number, requesting a supervisor, asking for clarification of personnel’s role or extent of role in something, etc. Etc. Credentials matter for a lot of things, expect for Jill Biden lmao. She doesn’t teach or do jack shit where it would be logical to use her title. End rant

If she would have just said graphic designer I would have never commented on it and we would never be having this discussion

No one has to change what they say so you feel better about their message. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Not trying to be rude or snarky in any way, just don’t understand the need to pick at how others convey information, like lefties do with pronoun bullshit. Also, we’re having this discussion because you made a post and I responded — not because of her. She tweeted, but you made a post about it and I made the choice to comment. It’s on us, not her.
