So last night I logged on to this site to write an update when it told me I had a comment to moderate.
Comments on this site are moderated to try and stop SPAM. The first time a person comments, it has to be moderated. After that, provided you use the same name, the comment posts automatically right after you write it.
And my rule is all comments, except for SPAM and some guy who wanted to use my blog for his political agenda, get approved.
Even the one last night.
It was a comment on my newsletter to Adam for his 25th month. It enquired as to whether Adam had been ill so much because he wasn’t breastfed. O_o
Really? If you read my blog enough to know Adam wasn’t breastfed you surely know that: –
- I didn’t have any milk.
- I felt guilty as hell about it for awhile.
- I moved on from the guilt, eventually.
So what was the point of your comment? No idea. Especially as Adam is nearly 26 months and way past the breast. Even if I had breastfed, I most likely would have stopped by now. Let the cow lactate! 🙂
I Tweeted about the comment and this is why I love my friends. At least 5 posted comments on the same blog entry tell the person to, basically, fuck off. And many many more posted support on the Facebook and Twitter feeds.
Not one of them understood the point of the comment. Almost all of them told the poster they were ignorant and rude.
The person who commented has not returned to defend their comment or even comment some more, that I can see, on any other post. Just that one.
So, Sam, if that is your name. Come back and defend your ignorance.
Or better yet, don’t.
As you have nothing worthwhile to add to my conversation with the world.
For the record, if I’d seen it I would have been another to tell him/her to f-off. We’re all moms here, and as much as of an advocate as I am for breastfeeding, sometimes it just. doesn’t. work. You keep on keepin’ on, Robyn. The haters can go jump off a bridge.
