RAther than being a deliberate design to personally attack anybody, it is more
likely a passionate belief and desire to help.
And when seen in this forum, it's even more likely to be simply a desire to
vent a little and get some relief from the need to constantly bite our tongues
and keep certain opinions to ourselves all day long every day in a world which
is by and large ignorant, uninformed, and in some cases actively hostile to
bfing.  We assume it is safe to relieve our feelings on the subject in this
place, one which, by it's name (misc.kids.breastfeeding) ought to clearly be
understood by all present as a safe place to talk about what a wonderful thing
breastfeeding is.
Blessings,

Kanga
