Do most FFing parents know powdered infant formulas are not commercially sterile products? How much of a risk is a E. sakazakii infection? Is it only a risk to premature and low-weight babies? According to the WHO article below, "infants under 2 months of age are at greatest risk."

You are a teacher but are you a psychologist? I'm sorry but only someone that is an expert in psych evals should say those things. And I don't know if many people knew this, but the Columbine incident had been planned for a while. Eric Harris wrote in a journal/blog/diary entry that he was mad because people wouldn't call him. Would you call that being bullied? I would have to say no. Also, he was on Luvox and as most people know, anti-depressants in children (which he was) can cause suicidal and homicidal tendencies. There didn't need to be bullies because he was dreaming these things up in his head.

And yeah, my school had a zero tolerance policy for bullying too. It did nothing. It didn't stop me from being pushed into my locker, pushed into toilets, locked in closets, and other forms of various physical abuse. So just because a school flaunts "zero tolerance" doesn't mean it works.

For me the wording is hard to understand.
?
**"COMMENDED to your local chamber of commerce"**

Did you mean 'Commended by your local chamber of commerce'?

And yet jokes made by "the other side" are taken as literal. So we have a breastfeeding clique here and a formula feeding clique.

There are none in my opinion. I believe I read somewhere that it no longer helps the child nutritionally after a certain age, but I can't remember where I read that. I mean I'm sure it does as much as drinking cow's milk, but kids who EN also have deficiencies in vitamin D which cow's milk supplies. But that's why I choose to give cow's milk to my children.

I've been called worse lol. But when someone tries to "educate" another poster and opens with a personal attack, how seriously can they expect the rest of their post much less any other posts to be taken?

I didn't realize I had to be super detailed in my postings. Obviously I don't think everyone will or should react the way I did in my situation but I also don't think that NO ONE will resort to violence. I kind of figured that was an understood but I guess when I'm on the down side of the debate, I have to make every detail crystal clear.

**And yes, it's a debate board for both sides, not sure why you're asking me for clarification.**

It does not look that way to any friends I have shown these boards to. I would honestly label this more of a "try to prove your reasons are acceptable for formula feeding" board.

No! No cliques allowed because with cliques comes exclusion and superiority and then we are back in, high school, no but just no..... I refused to be in a clique then and I shall remain clique-free here......

Hear no cliques.
See no cliques.
Speak no cliques.
