Oh the drama!

Why is there always drama online?  I don't do drama and I try my hardest not to cause drama.  I am a mod in an induced lactation group online. I was appointed many months ago.  It's a great group of ladies only.  So I posted a few days ago about positions to "feed" your partner/spouse, etc. Seemed like a very valid question and something that is not off-topic.  Well, early this morning, another mod sends me a message and writes,

"We've lost about 40 members in one day. I wasn't sure if you'd banned some or if a bunch just left. Now here is the sticky part - they're gone since your post about partner positions. I think it's a valid post, but it may have been really insensitive, especially being a moderator. So many of members are doing this on their own.
Could you let me know please, and please know that I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I just know that XXXX is off on her vacation - so I didn't want to ask her.
Hugs."
Really????  As if MY question about positions was the reason 40 or so members left?  I felt attacked.  I don't think it was insensitive at all - there are women in all stages if inducing. Some alone, some with partners.  As you know, I did it completely alone in the January.  There are posts about all sorts of things that someone might find offensive.  I don't need to be blamed for a bunch of people leaving the group. Nice way to attack me, lady!!!  And ending it with "hugs"???  I don't think so.  She's already alienated a few people - she's a relatively new mod.  I think she wants to just take over.
Anyway - I am over it.  
I used the proper size breast pump flanges today.  What a difference.  I think I got more milk into the bottles and more sprays while pumping.  Definitely good things, and when I stopped pumping, I put my mouth on my breast and the right one gave me a big spurt of milk.  :)  This is positive progress.  I am very happy.  I hope to get better volume soon - better than what I had before.   I don't need a lot, but I want enough, if that makes sense.
