Angriest Pharmacist?
So it turns out that someone is trying to ride on my coattails. I realize that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but a line has to be drawn.
I don't really think that I'm pissed off that this douche decided to start a blog to capture what the DrugNazi and I do, but that he wasn't even creative enough to give himself a recognizable name.
No, I'm not related to the AngryPharmacist. I don't know him. I’ve never even exchanged pleasantries with him. I did happen upon his site and loved it…so, I semi-jacked the name. If you read both, you'd know that our content is quite different, as is our writing style. God forbid two different entities start up similar 'services' about/providing the same thing. Damn you Coke and Pepsi. Piss off MSN and CNN. Go to hell Cingular, Verizon, Sprint, and US Cellular.
You didnt semi-jack the name. You basically took my domain name, added -iest on it, then claimed it as your own. Our content may be different, but our domain names arent. This isnt like Coke and Pepsi. Coke and Pepsi have two /different/ names that cannot be confused with each other. Compare that with angrypharmacist and angriestpharmacist and I hope you'll see what i'm talking about. If not, then take both names, cross out the letters that are in both names, and what remains is the extent of your creativeness.
Ranting and raving from the one of the world's most trusted professionals…the *Angriest* of Pharmacists!
Can you fucking think of anything yourself? Not only did you totally rip off my idea, my domain name, but now my site slogan? Amazing how similar that is to "Rants from the most trusted profession".
Am I telling you to shut down your site? No.
Am I angry at you for totally copying my shit? Sorta.
Do I hate you? No.
Will I poke fun at you forever? Hell Yes!
Do I think you have the creativity of a turd baking in the sun? Look at your domain name and slogan and tell me.
Beware angriestpharmacist, you are riding on some pretty burly coat-tails, and a lot of eyes are going to be on you just waiting for you to screw up. I hope you are up to the task and have a damn good sense of humor.

I usually feel sorry for personality-jackers. It's sad they have no real identity of their own... This fuck, however, doesn't have the decency to be shy about it. Sickening. People like this should die in a fire.
I think we all know who'll win this war!!
The original is always the best.
Big deal. Take it for what it is. When you do something well and you attract an audience, expect the imitators to come out of the woodwork.
Let's put this into perspective:

Dear Angry Pharmacist and Drug Nazi
I was the one who sent that email to the angriest guy and frankly I do not intend on facilitate a drug war (lol). Let me let you know a little about myself. I'm an 18 year old pre-pharmacy sophomore from the northeast. I've been a pharmacy technician since I was 16. When I'm working at home, I work in the innercity and when I work at school, I work in the country so I have the ability to paint a good picture to any comment that is left on the site. I screwed up what I had meant to say when speaking of the brand/generics. It was suppose to be a fast dare between me and one of my buddies and I didn't intend on him/her posting it (the real name I posted was johnny lixmydick; notice he didn't post that). Anyways, sorry for all the trouble, you guys run a great website and I tell everyone in the profession about it. Thanks for letting the public know all we have to deal with.
"Coke and Pepsi have to /different/ names that cannot be confused with each other."
Not that this is relevant or of even great importance but you misspelled "to"
It should be spelled "two"
That is all thank you
Lets see if angriestpharmacist gets a Facebook group.
Not only is he angry at his profession, apparently he's angry at good taste too. His site has no design qualities what so ever. At least yours looks good!
Holy Balls. Why can't we all just get along?! I enjoy everyone's site (although the Drug Monkey's political banter gets a bit old after awhile). I say the more the merrier. Can't we all just hold hands and sing Kumbaya??
Well now, here's something interesting. I read both your site and Mr. Angriest regularly, and he's correct in that you both cater different experiences in pharmacy. Sure, you're conservative and he's...tree-hugging liberal, but I see nothing wrong here. Sure, he stole the name, but what of it? You both know that doesn't make him better than you. There's good quality shit in both of your rants. Just ignore him, or send more fake oxycontin scripts to his pharmacy, or prank call him or something. Geez, everyone's so high strung. Except people who have more soma than blood in their veins... *happy thoughts*
OK, if it's not relevant or of great importance, then why bother pointing it out Uncle_Messy? Man, I hate people that do that! Everyone knows what the guy meant...jeezzz...
Don't worry angrypharmacist. You're site is much better, and your writing style is easier to read.
Keep up the good work!

I happen to enjoy both blogs. Please just let bygones be bygones. Ignore each other or be friends, just don't make me take both your blogs out of my "read" folder by getting too militant.
In the words of the much celebrated Rodney King ... "Can't we all just get along????"
Seriously, I enjoy each of your blogs - DrugMonkey(DrugNazi), PharmerJane, BlondePharmacist, PharmacyGod, Fast Food Pharmacy, .... and of course there is the Angry Intern as well! And I can't forget about the original "tell-it-like-it-is pharmacist", Jim Plagakis! Of course, I think he really enjoys retail, as opposed to some of the others :)
You each capture the essense of retail pharmacy in ways that only a pharmacist can understand, and you tell it to the world. Every once in a while, I'll print off one of your relevant blogs, and show it to my wife; just so she'll understand what we go through every single day of our lives! I not only still practice retail, but do pharmacy recruiting as well, and have found through my own work experiences, as well as ongoing recruitment projects that, very few truly fulfilling pharmacy jobs exist.
Point is, there is enough room in the blogospere for all of you, and a probably thousand more. Each of your blogs make the day pass with a little more realization that other people are going through the same crap I am, and I appreciate it!
You should sue the bastard or used the ICANN procedure to take over his domain.
