Kkdmom - I think you need to read one of my earlier posts to see how Freddies comments were relevant.
I think we all know Tiktok's knowledge on feeding is top class, and she did comment on the organic formula question helpfully.
We were wondering why bf was mentioned and why other (those who have no knowledge of organic formula - unlike Tiktok) would feel the need to read / be involved in this thread .

Freddysteddy · 27/06/2008 12:02

What are you on about kkdmom? I didn't mention tiktok. I posted about why I opened it.

Wind your neck in.

kkdmom · 27/06/2008 12:10

"Why anyone would want to open the thread unless they could impart knowledge on organic formula"

I am talking about this sentence of yours.
Doesn't tiktok fall under the category of 'anyone'.

And watch your manners. I did not attack you. I answered your query.

Aitch · 27/06/2008 12:11

what utter rot, that anyone opening this has to have info on good organic formula.

NO-ONE has that info. NO-ONE. and plenty of us, whether we have used formula or not, are aware of that fact and quite capable of passing on that info. it's a disgrace that should horrify all ffing mothers, tbh, so if you want to get all exercised about something, make it that.

Freddysteddy · 27/06/2008 12:13

Would you like me to explain it to you again then?

DKMA said this: Why would anyone click to open this thread unless they had either used or had knowledge about organic formula. (I have used Hipp)?

And I explained to her why I had opened it despite having no knowledge of organice formula.

OK?

why indeed? are these not your words then.

so you agreed with the previous poster so my comments still apply to you.

sorry I am trying ot do two things at a time and not reading every post and your lack of quotes misled me.

Freddysteddy · 27/06/2008 12:19

I'm not going to explain it you again.

Freddysteddy · 27/06/2008 12:20

I agreed with the previous poster? What? No! I explained that I was someone who opened the thread even though I knew nothing about the subject matter. I disagreed with her!!!

weejie · 27/06/2008 12:21

but kkdom this post didn't mention Tiktok, and I'm sure wasn't attacking her, by reading it as an attack and leaping to her defense its all kicked off again...

Freddysteddy · 27/06/2008 12:21

And no, I didn't quote the poster with quotation marks. It really grates on me when people do that to me, so I don't do it to others.

If you can't keep up with the thread then don't jump in half-cocked.

EBenes · 27/06/2008 12:21

Look, Freddysteddy, I insist you go into the ironic and non-ironic implications of your lighthearted post in more detail until it is not just clear to everyone reading, but comically boring.

kkdmom · 27/06/2008 12:22

"She wasn't talking about tiktok or anyone ekse."

I still don't get it. Tiktok is one of 'anyone else'? isn't she?

She and others opened it because they actually know about formula.

Freddysteddy · 27/06/2008 12:23

Lol EBenes!

kkdmom · 27/06/2008 12:23

freddy, go find some other child like yourself to lecture.

DKMA · 27/06/2008 12:23

I am very disappointed that there seems to be nowhere on mn where ff can be discussed without fear of a heated debate and people being offended.

There are huge amounts of threads where bf is discussed and help is given etc etc. Of which in the past I have myself had help (I bf for 3 months). Is it too much to ask to have a safe thread to discuss our ff choices / experiences? (it would seem so).

There are thousands of parents using ff accross the UK - like it or not - and sometimes I feel that these parents sadly don't get the same opportunity to utilise mn when it comes to sharing conversations about ff with others.

Not all people using mn bf for so many different reasons - why do we have to justify our reasons - for them to be accepted by a very strong cohort of pro bf'ers - before we can have conversations about it.

This just seems a bit wrong to me

NormaStanleyFletcher · 27/06/2008 12:24

I opened this thread because it was reappearing in active conversations so often I thought I would see in what predictable way it had kicked off. Then I was like this at the comments directed at tiktok so I posted.

Freddysteddy · 27/06/2008 12:24

Oh FGS kkdmom, are you doing this on purpose?

I was explaining about why I opened the thread. That's how come I wasn't talking about anyone else. Because I was talking only about myself. Ok? Does that make any sense to you at all?

Aitch · 27/06/2008 12:25

i'd love it if you named this very strong cohort, i'm always interested to see who comes up.

tiktok · 27/06/2008 12:26

DKMA - there have been many threads about ff which have been along the lines you describe...people sharing info and experiences, with no suggestion of heated debates.

I will do a search and come back with links

DKMA · 27/06/2008 12:26

And Kkdmom - are you having a bad day today? You seem very agro!

NormaStanleyFletcher · 27/06/2008 12:30

A cohort? Is that like a clique only with muscles? I don't fit into any clique so maybe I could join this cohort instead?

please tell me where to join

weejie · 27/06/2008 12:30

how about some way of labelling some of us, and hopefully more as time goes on, understand

eg when we psot about ff we say ff safe or summat so it means, please, no comments, light hearted or otherwise, on bf

or does that way madness lie? should we even have to do that?

hmmm...

tiktok · 27/06/2008 12:37

OK - it took me a few minutes to find several threads where ff mothers were offered information and help and shared experience, with no heated debate or people taking offence, or people accusing others of insensitivity...all these threads are here, now, current and still on the board (oldest post in them is the day before yesterday).

There will be more, but I decided to see how far back I had to go to find half a dozen, and you can see the answer is 'not very far'.

It is just preposterous to suggest we need to label threads or people - people do not need to worry about things kicking off, or if they do, they just have to avoid labelling people as insensitive. Easy peasy
