Wately, as annoyingly usual, makes a good point, sarcasm can be easily misinterpreted. This is an international forum with varying degrees of English comprehension and cultural norms. To avoid being misunderstood it is best to speak plainly at all times. The reader must know not only what you say but where you come from and your literary ability otherwise.

I generally avoid sarcasm except in its most blatant form and tailor my posts to those it is aimed at. I often simplify my language if I feel it is appropriate.


Mikey: I get that you find it objectionable and in all honesty I am trying to see it from your point of view, but all I can see is a baby being done out of a well needed meal and a bit of comfort from its mother, and a mother being denied her right to feed her baby where she chooses, (at least in the UK, not sure about the US). I want to understand your objections to it, why is it rude? Is not someone farting in a restaurant more rude, blowing their nose, burping? I would rather see these things banned first.
