Judging

Judging other people is a fairly common human behavior. We assess and compare ourselves to others all the time. Why is it that when breastfeeders are accused of judging, it is perceived as some sort of evil behavior?

"It just set me wondering about my other CL obligations - whether by IVillage, or the other posters on the board."

Didn't you read the fine print? ;)

I think you get my point. A regular poster making an unchallenged sweeping generalizations can lead to confusion. Nothing special or extraordinary about it, just an observation is all. I wasn't suggesting you or anyone else had to add multiple disclaimers or completely change the way you word things and I have no opinion on how much you or anyone else should worry about this.

Nope, I am thinking I might have missed that! ;)

My point was about more than the blinkie. We can just leave it there.

Well, since I only entered the conversation to discuss the blinky, and I wasn't discussing anything above and beyond the blinky, even if you were, then leaving it there is fine by me.

Sorry.

"But you have time to refute them if they come from a newbie. Do you only have time to debate with new posters? "


Do you see a difference in the degree of potential for disagreement between "we are here to inform" and "everyone here believes".

"It's called mocking and it's not fun for those who are mocked, and it does not lead to respectful debate. So please, let's not go there again. FTR, she already made the blinkie. "


*MY* intent in my comment about such a blinkie was that we apparently need some kind of standard disclaimer in every post that "we" does not refer to us all.
