Small sizes, big mouths.

One other thing: the title of this post sets the tone of your message. By saying someone has a "big mouth" you are demonstrating the intent to be offensive. Moreover, this argument has been had on other boards and, ultimately it ends the same way. People are going to share their opinions and they are going to give the best advice they have. Discounting good advice simply because someone doesn't look the same way as you or doesn't make same choices as you is petty and foolhardy. Where I'm going with this is, your post felt like you were ready to go to war and those of us with "big mouths" are veterans of that same war. We aren't going to lay down just because someone says so.

You guys are twisting my words. Like I said, I have no intentions of being a jerk or anything, I just wanted to voice my opinion, you dont have to agree, thats not my decision. And too the 0g or 1 inch thing, Like I said there is no right guide, as long as you do it slow.

I am not talking about your intentions, just the way it came off at first. In the end the methodology is the same, regardless of the size you're at the suggestions would remain the same. Lindsay and I understand the theory that got us this far. It will remain the same regardless of how big either of us stretch or not. Much as you have a right to voice your ideas and opinions as well as whether you agree or disagree with us, we have the same right to voice ours and agree or disagree with yours. This is what we have been saying the entire time. We feel that posts like these tend to not do justice to people who can and do have something valuable to add the discussion. We respect people's right to share thoughts without judgement, we ask that the same respect be returned.

We don't think you are a jerk. You have been really pleasant to have on the forum. You're generally polite and friendly. This is why we are willing to talk with you about this and share our viewpoints. Please understand that this conversation is about the current post and we don't think less of you. I know I don't.

Shall we call a truce on this post and get back to being friends on the forum? : )

Yeah I agree. Friends it is. (:

Hi there, I have 00g lobes and think you should continue exactly what you've been doing! Tea tree oil can't be harmful, it's all natural. And if your lobes are good and healthy, what's the harm in dead stretching or skipping a few sizes? If you wear tunnels with big enough edges on them, no one can even see the blow-outs, right?

I hope that was supposed to be sarcasm, saply.
