I don't think anyone is shouting down anyone else because they don't use a harness and that's wrong. I think people have got upset because it was implied (intentionally or not), that people who used them were lazy and didn't know how to control their children. That is how I read it anyway.

FWIW, my DD1 has a pink poodle harness and loves it. Though she has turned more into a sit and protest girl then a runner.
