I think everything has been said. I am sorry this happened to you.  I think that you were censored as much for refusing to attack other women as for trying to tell the truth about formula.  I loved(!) Blundell's "The support's really skewed towards beastfeeding." Hmmm ... I am looking at the British stats ... fewer than 1% of women are able to avoid giving their babies any infant formula ... yes, poor British mothers, they really are suffering unimaginable pressure to breastfeed ... o please.
Heather said "When women do not breastfeed, particularly if the bottle feeding that is done is done in a 'non-breastfeeding-like' way,   something happens.  Then,  to protect themselves from this, they find themselves denying that anything regrettable has happened....they may even decide that what happened was good."
Heather, what you have described is called 'Cognitive Dissonane' in the Psych literature.  If you are interested, google "Friginger" + "Cognitive Dissonance".
Maintain the rage ... I see an OBE in your future.
