Dear Chris,
I can only surmise that perhaps you have never had the pleasure and honor of
meeting and working with Barbara Wilson-Clay. I do not know a more caring
and gentle teacher and consummate professional. I cannot fathom
characterizing any post of Barbara's as having a 'target' in the way you
have used the term. Barbara takes every opportunity to teach and to point
out the many complicating facets to any situation. She is thought-full
(misspelled purposely) and I find that I generally learn something every
time she speaks up.
Knowing Barbara, I am sure that she was NOT 'targetting' you and I find it
most unfortunate that you would interpret her words in a way that has
somehow put you on the defensive in a rather aggressive way (if that's not
an oxymoron). Barbara is a problem-solver, a coalition-builder, a
consensus-seeker. She is respectful of colleagues and clients. She most
assuredly has an open mind; she is one of the most intellectually curious
people I know. She is well-known for her depth of knowledge and
appreciation for the wondrous art and science of breastfeeding and lactation
support.
Barbara doesn't need me to defend her but I feel I must protest your rather
jarring response to her post, as I enjoy Lactnet for its generally peaceful
atmosphere and I cringe at your strong words. I am sorry that you felt
attacked, and just as you stated that you wished you had been contacted, so
too I wish you had requested a clarification before posting a response that
assumed such an attack.
Respectfully,
Mary Riley Renard, RN, BSN, IBCLC, LLLL
