I hope my comment was not taken as though I thought it was OK to "ostracize" people on the basis of nursing publicly. I am a nursing mother. I certainly realize that there is not always a place to go. In the states, where nursing publicly/openly (breasts completely exposed) is legal but not generally practiced, it would not be modest (in my opinion) to do so. The modest thing would be to cover in some fashion. I nurse in public settings, but always covered so as not to be a temptation to any man. I would never advocate ostracizing anyone even if they did so.
