Let me clarify.....
JosieWales is a friend, and I clearly remember how crazy things became when she posted about her pregnancy, and how upset she was that she had somehow inadvertently offended anyone. My feelings about the issue are the same today as they were then....I thought some people's reactions were extreme. I am not faulting JW or anyone for including the disclaimer....these folks are trying to be considerate of others....my issue is that they feel compelled to include it at all. JW's most recent post that I've seen was a request for a fitness partner, but because she mentioned pregnancy weight, she included the disclaimer. It seems sad that such an innocuous thread would ever be found offensive by anyone.
