OK, I was wrong.
So I ranted a few days ago about unnecessary "I'm going to get hate mail" intros to benign topics, and the outpouring of support that always accompanies them, after reading seven or eight such blog posts.
And I told MamaQ that the one that tipped me into rant mode was Dooce "admitting" she let her kid cry itself to sleep.
Well, damn.
Though a very cursory glance through the 5 bazillion comments seems to indicate there were 2 or 3 people with dissenting opinions who expressed them in varying degrees of hostility, and then the debate took on a whole nasty life between the "pro-cuddle" and "pro-cry" camps.
