Because it's an open, unmoderated forum. Any other questions, Queen
Boobsie? I wouldn't have responded at all except 43 posts went by and
no one stated the obvious solution - be more discreet. You all get all
up in arms and indignant when anyone *dares* suggest you have a modicum
of modesty, when the fact is, if you were more modest to begin with,
there would never have been an issue in the first place. It's not
rocketscience, girls.

L -

On the subject of us, altering our perfectly natural, moral, and loving
behavior towards our children, I suggest you go back to misc.kids and
review your conversational outrage than anyone would have the audacity
to suggest to you that you dress in any manner other than how you want
to. A clothing choice is a much less essential type of conflict than
how I care for my baby, so if you don't want to be told to not dress
like a hippie, please don't ask us to alter our choices. Honestly, I
can think of a great number of people in my family alone, who would be
far more horrified by your clothing choices in what they consider
"inappropriate" situations, and would consider it downright
disrespectful. We all choose what's worth the risk of ****ing off
strangers, and those of us who nurse in public have made our choice.

On the topic of your posts: Trolling is when you barge in somewhere
where you know your views are diametrically opposite to the dominant
meme, speak(type) in a condescending and inflammatory manner, and refuse
to leave. It is characterized in particular by a "nobody can make me
stop, it's an open forum/free country" attitude. And please don't lift
up cussing as an example to intimate I am not tough enough for your
speech. I cuss like a sailor in real life (the guys in "Clerks" got
nothing on me), but I also know how to use other words.

Perhaps you should evaluate your motivations for seeking such conflict.

It would be wonderful if you could choose instead to participate in the
discussion in a meaningful way. You adopted your children, yes? Did
you consider or try adoptive breastfeeding? Did it work?
