No, I didn't ignore those posts. But there are also posts that detail being hit with leather straps and pieces of wood. There are even posts that detail hitting OTHER PEOPLE'S kids! "I spanked my nephew" etc. And they don't see anything wrong with that.

Nobody at all in this thread has indicated that smacking a child for being naughty should be taken to the extreme that you describe that woman doing. In fact, those of us who support smacking as discipline have made it explicitly clear on multiple occasions that smacking too hard, anything beyond a slight sting, is too much and not acceptable.
Did you deliberately ignore our many multiple posts to that effect? Or we're you simply blinded by your zeal to get on your high horse and make a statement?
Your Views On 'Smacking' children

I'm not even going to read the thread to post this. This is just how I feel about it.
Smacking children should be done strictly in discipline. If you feel any negative emotion, don't touch your child.
Discipline them out of love, not anger. Follow that, and you should be fine.

That's ridiculous.
So if you hit your daughter..... what are you going to tell her down the line when she comes home crying that her husband slapped her. "It's OK honey, I hit you too.... it's no big deal"
What is wrong with this picture?
If you are hitting your daughter, you basically are telling her, it's ok for men to hit her.

Simple enough yeh?
Why do you think many kids end up going to jail? No discipline.

Glad this is not the view of the rest of the world.
