I'm sorry you feel my post was offensive but it wasn't rude at all, just factual and truthful. I know there are bad stories of birth from the hospital setting and the medical model of birthing and may mail didn't actually support that either. Why shouldn't the statistics be thrown in your face when they prove that you are way more likely to face problems following a c/s than you are an active birth. When asking for opinion are you only looking for one that you like?
There is so much stuff out there to prove the risks. Anyone choosing an elective section for no reason other than they don't want labour really has to look at the fear element of birth. It can be scary but you can get great birth support out there if you look. Kelly has lists of doula's and midwives that support women to deal with their problems and go on to a great birth.
Elective section isn't so much a choice as an avoidance. You wouldn't consider any other major surgery just because you felt like and wanted the choice.
