You know, I don't think there are many of the pro-circers posting, but I think there are just a few with numerous accounts. I see the same exact thing copy & pasted on yahoo, tribe, pretty much any given baby message board and numerous blogs. The identity always changes, sometimes a young mom, a grown man who HAD to be circed at 30 so he KNOW circed is better, a "doctor", etc. But often it's the same exact, word-for-word pro-circ non-sense. But unless you follow the circ debate, someone wouldn't know it's the same person.
I'm not sure what the die hard pro-circers reasonings are. I understand being anti-circ and I can also understand (although I don't agree) with the ones who say it's parental choice. But spending hours posting under numerous aliases in order to convince people
to circ, it boggles my mind.
I once caught someone doing this on Tribe and called her out. "She" (maybe it's a male, who knows?) admitted she posted under different names on different boards. I asked her if she owned to company that made circ products or had a financial incentive to ensure circs continued and she just laughed and said no that she just wants to help moms do what's best for their kids. I just don't get it.
Anyway, another great way to get the message out there to expectant parents is to branch out here on MDC into other forums. Plenty of people focus most of their time in Case Against Circ but we're preaching to the choir. If you have a circ info link in your sig or a "no circ" emoticon, please consider posting in other forums here. I try to post a quick hello to the new members in the "pleased to meet you" sub-forum. Maybe it helps.
