The Moderators comments are offensive to me, and they are inappropriate for somone acting as a 'moderator'.

'Bellybelly''s profile states that she is a 'birth attendant'. She claims no other qualifications, and yet proports to have superior knowledge of evidence based medicine. She writes: "...He defies all study and research with his comments,..." and also that he has a " ....lack of regard for evidence based practice." I wonder how, exactly, she comes by her knowledge of all things obstetric? Who is she to judge?

I also don't think it is particularly appropriate to initiate and encourage a discussion which attacks a person's character with such words as 'arrogant' , "ignorant man" , "male cynicism" , "mean-spirited and cynical" , " condescending" , " scare-mongering" ..and I could go on.

I have also looked thoroughly through the website, and I think also that you have misrepresented the issue of ultrasound scans.

Lastly, as I have participated on many other forums, it is appropriate to have a moderator who moderates rather than inflames.
