Hmmmmm, I can't figure this one out .

First of all, because Nancy ALL ways encourages women to question their doctors and not just take their opinion as face value. Secondly, they are very much appreciative of and supportive of midwives, homebirths, UC, VBAC's, etc., Nancy's oldest dd, who has had 10 unassisted childbirths, actually gave birth to her first two children in a tent in the middle of a Minnesota winter , I don't think that was doctor approved .

AND finally, as a former moderator on one of her e-groups, having someone banned was RARELY done. I only remember two in 5 years and one was a man, and the other was a dear mother who was extremely arguementative. Although, we never expected everyone to agree and allowed disagreement, the opening page of the yahoo group does say that it is NOT a place to debate, but to encourage one another. Some people felt like it was a safe place to share, and this woman didn't seem to agree with any of the basics of Above Rubies , and I know that she wasn't you, this lady was from Oregon .

So based on those two experiential "knowns", I'm just not sure what happened there, it just seems like so "odd" that you would be banned for something like questioning a doctor's authority .
