IMO

There is no BF mafia on MN.

There are people who are very strongly in favour of BF. They are right to be, it is better.

There are people who haven't BF and are upset and/or guilty. This is very sad.

But there is no mafia.

"HC - breastfeeders do have the moral highground on their side though don't they?"

I really don't see your point tbh? that it is ok to judge and attack bf because they are "doing the right thing"? so our feelings won't be hurt and we won't feel got at?

there is a nasty double standard working here imo.
ff are in the huge majority in this country. so why should you feel got at?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 20/07/2007 00:31

Bfers are a minority group and as such should really have much in the way of protection by law and other such things, imo, as other minority groups have.

Hi Oops, yes, tis me. Until VVV changes her password, that is

VeniVidiVickiQV · 20/07/2007 00:32

And funding for support groups.

And their own group within the police force.

NorbertStanleyFletcher · 20/07/2007 00:33

Is that you hunker?

UCM · 20/07/2007 00:33

Ok, so vvv & hunker are squirrelling away themselves together. Not good. I have missed you both. Your absence has got me yapping on a subject that I am not even passionate about... please do come back you pair of naughty fuckers. Or are you leati & Haychee

Isabel, I'm trying to be objective and this is one way of trying - not a very good way maybe.

What I'm saying is, if I don't think there's a mafia, I could possibly search a million threads and still not see it. Human beings are bad at seeing what they don't believe in and I'm sure I'm not exception.

But if someone says to me, right here is a thread where someone is being attacked by a BF mafia, I would read it with close attention.

Hello, UCM, NSF and Oops again

Tis v simple. VVV has trusted me with her password (which is... ), the daft mare.

I occasionally namechange and post.

Very occasionally.

My Hunker account is blocked.

Sadly MN has gone downhill since I left. It's sad, isn't it?

harpsichordcuddler · 20/07/2007 00:36

ah yes nazis is a lovely term. one of my faves. I love being compared to a group of people who systematically and cold bloodedly exterminated an entire race.
that is very much like encouraging bf isn't it?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 20/07/2007 00:36

WM, fwiw, I agree with you.

(A Hunker post)

VeniVidiVickiQV · 20/07/2007 00:36

LOL! I am me.

Hunker is also me, in another room about 30 miles away.

Apparently you can be logged in at two different places at the same time.

I am not leati or haychee

hunker, we fucking miss you.
QV, I will love you forever.
I think I should go to bed because I am feeling very combative
it is probably because I am involved in a vicious sadistic organised crime racket to help women to bf

VeniVidiVickiQV · 20/07/2007 00:37

harpsi - dont worry - it really isnt funny.

Im said I missed your exciting swearing though

VeniVidiVickiQV · 20/07/2007 00:38

I am not Leati or Haychee either (who tf? You're just saying random letters now, right?!)

You tell her harpsi - she wont listen to me.....

I will love you forever too.

Twinklemegan · 20/07/2007 00:38

HC - no I'm not saying it's OK in any way. It's just that at least you're safe in the knowledge that you ARE doing the right thing for your child and that the majority on here agree with you. When you feel got at (which actually I suppose I have on a few occasions) AND you know you're not doing the best thing for your child in some people's eyes, it's a double whammy I suppose.

Having said that, I don't look at the threads about extended breastfeeding as it isn't a subject I need worry about now. I can imagine there are some pretty hurtful comments on there.

Interestingly, the very same thing was discussed on the thread I posted the link to.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 20/07/2007 00:39

Exciting swearing?

I put "exciting sweating" first there.

And I thought fgs, be enthusiastic about bfing, by all means, but don't drip on people.

I've missed you too. But...you have my email address, you loon

VeniVidiVickiQV · 20/07/2007 00:39

I am off to bed.

Night oops, harpsi, hunker, nsf, ucm, wm and everyone else

Hunker, feel free to abuse my login, same as usual
