If offense has been taken, it is on the part of the taker, for none was intended.
I know that many people are afraid to express themselves in this forum due to such instant flaming, really it becomes quite boring when one has to watch every word for fear of this. The expression just is... I make no excuses for it, many terms have become entrenched in our rich language, many of them have unsavoury origins.
I am sad that this is the only thing you have taken out of mine and Jo's posts
Please lighten up - and have a nice weekend

Subject: [ozmidwifery] RE: breastfeeding
I'm really disappointed to see in a supposedly professional discussion of a professional issue, ie breastfeeding, that name calling is resorted to very quickly.
The terms used by two posters, who, of course, were only reporting what 'other' people say, were crude and vulgar to say the least. And if we have any colleagues of the Jewish faith in our midst they should be rightfully offended by referring to people who support mothers to feed their babies naturally with the same term as describes the group who exterminated millions of their people during World War II.
Please be aware of what you are saying, and what you are perpetrating by telling the world that 'someone else' said.
