Posting photos of nursing babies online
| Wed, 09-05-2007 - 10:52am |
On another board, a poster has a long siggy that includes a slideshow of nursing babies from her playgroup. Another poster took offense at it and there has been quite the debate over the appropriateness of the siggy. I posted a message inviting people here to discuss that issue, and I hope that one of the posters from that particular playgroup comes here, at least so we can see what the siggy looks like. I'm having a hard time forming coherent thoughts today, LOL! So don't worry if I don't come back to debate the issue with you, I'm trying to get out of the office so I can go home & sleep.
As "Linda Richmond" (aka Mike Myers) from SNL would say, "talk amongst yourselves."

"that you would stoop to such a low level
A year or so ago, there was a debate on one of the general debate boards about people using pictures of their still born babies in their siggies. The issues arising are very similar.
IMO, it's the big long siggies with blinkies, tags, ads, photo albums, etc, regardless of what's in them that I find more annoying than anything. But not, complain about it, annoying. Just an I prefer not to do the same because I see how annoying it can be sort of thing. At work, I can't see most of them anyway - photobucket and flickr and other photo sharing sites are blocked. Some siggies, i think are beautifully done, and full of class and show good taste, and some of the nursing photos ones are included in that group. And the born still angels.
As for the actual pictures, I think they are great. It's a wonderful expression on a "Woman's Network" message board. It's completely appropriate. As are the pictures the precious babies born in Heaven.....

The pictures don't bother me. . .
The long signatures and 'blinkies' are annoying and (in agreement with Lois) seem juvenile. . .but whatever. . .
BUT I truly do NOT care for the term "Boobilicious."
I find that word to be more 'offensive' if you will, than anything.
I didn't have my first 'successful' breastfeeding experience until my third child (and last child) was born. That relationship was incredibly special. *I* can't imagine referring to it as "Boobilicious".
It's well within YOUR rights to do so. . .but if you want to know what MIGHT be offensive to others. . .that might be part of it.
I also don't care for using children in a propaganda campaign. . .but you (general you, not specific you) aren't the first folks to do that.
