Posting photos of nursing babies online

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.

Hence the term 'many' rather than 'all'. That said, some of those who say that have turned around and posted (in the last 30 posts there was one, I have no search function till Wednesday so it will have to wait till then!) that they thought most women who FF did so because of ignorance.

I do not agree with that assessment.

You mean other than the word "many", which in my experience doesn't mean all in any way?

By no one I mean that in common usage it is rarely heard.

"The crux of it seems to me to be that many BF moms think that FF moms choose formula because they are just not as informed/intelligent/caring as they are."

*Many* bf moms, but nothing to indicate "less than all" of the ff moms.

The word "many" indicates less than all, all by itself. It means something distinctly different from all.

**To All**

#1 I am quite concerned about the direction this discussion about Nazi Germany is going and I'm not sure I can stomach it. Since it's way off topic, I hope anyone interested enough in the topic will take it to another board.

#2 My understanding is that the official stance of the N-word on this board, whether it's referring to killers or fanatics, is that it is STRICTLY forbidden to allude to the possibility that anyone one the board or either side in general fits the definition. It seems to me that more than one poster is dangerously close to the line, or has crossed it. There is little if any positive connotation of the term, so it's pretty hard to direct it at anyone or either side without it being a TOS violation ie lack of respect.

Is it official policy or general consensus? Anyone else concerned?

I think that with that, I am done with this board. I've spent way too many hours putting out drama queen fires and far too few hours actually debating. Nice knowing you all!

I am also concerned about it as well. Whether historically Nazis were just like the Democrats (I have to laugh because if I was American, I would be a Democrat myself and I never thought of myself as a Nazi), it has come to mean much more. To me it is an "N" word that Jews do not feel comfortable hearing (one of them being me) and I think that now it has come to mean those with anti-semitic tendencies even if it still means anything else.

So, you are not the only one, just the only one brave enough to say it for which I thank you!

I'm sorry if I offended anyone by trying to get campbelllover to explain her historical perspective. It was not my intention to fan the flames of that discussion; I only wanted to understand how she could justify using a word like that here. I apologize for my part in allowing the debate to get off course. I also disagree with her interpretation and I *hate* the N word, especially when applied in the context is has been here.
