[quote=Anonymous][quote]13:40 here: I neither have nor had a family bed. Indeed, I am just registering a general objection. I fail to see how that renders my opinion any less persuasive than those writing generally in support of the family bed; ignore it all you want, but don't imply that only those who co-sleep are justified in stating their opinion. Of course, you and others only appear to seek the echo chamber of co-family sleepers -- hearing only from those who "co-sleep" so you can delude yourselves into thinking a 9 or 12 year sharing a bed with Mom & Dad is normal. It is not. [/quote]
[quote]13:40 here:

First, I didn't realize all the rules here. So only those who agree with a poster may comment? Can I continue reading the thread, or should I stop. How about other threads that don't technically apply? I'm not an expectant mother, should I avoid that forum? And what if a subsequent post specifically seeks my comment, are the rules amended (like the posts at 13:45, 13:49, 14:10, 14:21 and 14:24)?

Second, your admonishment that I should not have responded only proves my point regarding echo chamber. [/quote]

Another new poster here, writing mainly to support 16:12's clear, rational, and helpful explanation of of the "etiquette" issues involved here.  Putting it less kindly than the 16:12 poster, it seems both rude and pointless to respond to someone's request for assistance from those who share a particular, specified view by ridiculing those views and calling them abnormal.  I am not a co-sleeper myself, so perhaps you can see this response as showing that even outside the so-called "echo chamber" of co-sleepers, your posts seemed strikingly unkind.[/quote]
