I'm so sorry you experienced this. The attitudes you described almost perfectly describe why I frequented the mothering.com boards less...and less...and less...then none. It's a shame, because I gained a great deal of knowledge and confidence there before my daughter's homebirth.

With your permission, may I use a quote from this text on my local board as an explanation of what worries me?
