People don't like Dr. Amy because she wounds their pride but that doesn't mean what she says isn't worth heavy consideration.  I think she is completely straight forward and people don't like that and people would rather be flattered than know the truth.

People don't like Amy because they (and I) think she's a nutjob.  She ignores anything that doesn't support her opinion and refuses to acknowledge when she's wrong.  I've seen her caught red-handed making unsubstantiatable claims on her blog and when called out on it, she refused to acknowledge the lie.  When called out again, she attacked the poster's mental capacity in a snide manner, still not apologizing for the fact that she lied. 

Are you aware that she linked to a grieving mother's blog (the woman was blogging about the death of her baby after a homebirth) and that croanies from Amy's site went to this mother's blog and harassed her?  One visciuosly attacked her two months after her baby's death and basically called her a murderer.  Amy only took the link down after many other grieving mothers went to her site and begged her to.  She also trolls parenting sites like BabyCenter and MotheringDotCom to find bad outcomes to post about to support her claims.  She has no class, cherry picks what information she gives out, and doesn't respond to points that contradict her.  That's why I give what she says no credence whatsoever.
