It sounds like you are expecting to win some type of award or prize.
Is there a competition I'm not aware of?

let's take it further. a truly selfless person would not eat at a CS at all, so as not to make the line longer for others or to take up table space that others could use.
in fact, all the people at WDW are being selfish, wasting their days and money on entertainment when they could be helping others.
??? This makes NO sense to me at all! According to your theory then a selfless person should not be eating AT ALL because there is a food shortage in the world!
my point is that these arguments about how it is selfish to sit at a table when someone else might want to use it are equally absurd.

It is much easier, for us, to have DH (and maybe an older child to help) go get the food while I sit with the little guys. If food was brought to us, I would have no problem with the whole family waiting in line. The kids are in line with us for the rides. . The problem is trying to juggle food, drinks, toddlers, strollers, etc. and many times there is a crowd at the counter waiting for the food.
IMHO this is so wrong! If someone needs to feed their baby then use the Baby Centers. That is what they are there for. You can be sure that if I was carrying trays of food and could not find a place to sit while I saw you hogging a table feeding your baby so that you can later on eat your food warm (food that you did not yet have in front of you, while my own actual food was getting colder by the second) you would be hearing from me!
People need to be considerate of others but sadly so many are not.

It is not selfish to sit at a table and feed a child who needs to eat whether it is food from the counter or from a jar! No one would chase the BFing mom away. And you would rather have a child screaming in the place needing to eat than allow a mom to get things started at the table
I am not going to separate my family eating just so you wont be inconvience for a moment. I am not going to have one child eating in the baby care center while the rest of my family will me eating mometarily in CS place.

I am no advocate of sitting and holding a table and waiting while someone comes with food. However, if someone was sitting/holding a table there is no excuse for ANYONE other than a CM to say something to them about it.
And if you or anyone else gave a mother feeding her child grief within ear shot of me, then you would most definitely be "hearing it from me." Starting a scene in front of a child with their parent is ridiculous.
It's not your place to say or try and enforce anything with anyone whether you agree with what they are doing or not. If you have a problem with anything, grab a CM and allow them to handle it as they see fit.
I was responding to the poster who said she took a table and waited for her food so that she could eat while her food was hot while other people's food was getting cold while they searched for a place to sit. See the irony?
Point well taken. I'm sorry if I offended anyone. I absolutely have nothing against kids, love them to bits. It was not too long ago when mine were little. I was responding to the poster who said she took a table and waited for her food so that she could eat while her food was hot while other people's food was getting cold while they searched for a place to sit. See the irony? That is what got me upset. I do not advocate separating families or denying anyone the chance to feed their child. It is amazing how much people read into other people's posts.
I know that so far Disney allows table saving but my stance is that I wish they did not.

that person did something smart to make sure their family had a place to sit.
...at the expense of another, just as worthy family who used the system at it was designed. Yeah, bravo for them.
