And I pointed out the fact that just because it feels healed, doesn't mean it actually is.

There is a reason there's a recommended time scale.

People stretch how they want regardless of what advice we give, people wana stretch a lil quicker then waiting 6 weeks between every stretch. I waited 3 weeks between every stretch, which when i started stretching was an ideal wait time. Now all the sudden its 6 weeks xD. I reached 1 inch in a year. Thats not fast.

Yes, it is fast. Even if you only wait 2 months between sizes then it should take two years just to get to about 1/2".

I'm not going to argue about it. If that's what you want to do with your ears then do it, but it would be responsible of you to give other people better advice.
Like you said, people won't necessarily listen, but at least you can say you gave them sensible suggestions.

''ONLY wait 2 months''
Come on. 2 months is huge. A couple of months ago the ideal time was 3-4 weeks. Now people are like ''2 months MINIMUM OR YOU WILL SCRAP YOUR EARS''. Hey, if someone want 2 inches lobes, it is suppose to take almost 10 years ? Bullshit !

Elayne Angel recommend 4 weeks. That's all I have to say.

I've been stretching my ears for over a year and a half and it was 2 months when I started, so no, I doubt it was ever three weeks.

Please feel free to point me in the direction of any of my posts where I've said, ''2 months MINIMUM OR YOU WILL SCRAP YOUR EARS'' and I will happily correct myself.
What I actually have explained is that the micro tears need time to heal and the advantage of two months is that tears are less likely. Yes, if you stretch up faster you won't 100% necessarily get huge rips, but waiting 2 months significantly reduces the risk and I would have thought being extra sure would be sensible since it's something you'll have to live with possibly the rest of your life.

However, as usual, I'm pretty sure you will consider your angry rantings far more valid than my controlled and reasonable explanations.

You better wait 20 years between each size ; this way tears are less likely.

They definitely would be

thank god

I guess I just don't see the problem with waiting 6 weeks. It's better than telling someone to stretch every 3 days. At least you know by that point that your ears will almost certainly be ready for the stretch. What's a couple more weeks?
