I agree and disagree with your post. Firstly, although there is a GENERAL guideline and I have been pretty cautious with my stretching adventure (it's taken my husband and I 9 months to get from 18 g - 6 g), it doesn't mean that everyone who hasn't been is going to have completely fucked up lobes. I have a very dear friend who is currently sitting at a 1 1/4 and her lobes are thick and beautifuL!!!! AND she got there in a little over a year.
I believe there has been some great advice tendered on this forum, and alot from the people you put on front street (not so cool, dude). BUT i have also found that there is alot of unsolicited advice (i.e., someone simply sharing their stretching story and being told they've done it wrong and need to DOWNSIZE RIGHT AWAY!!! OR MAYBE EVEN TAKE IT OUT COMPLETELY AND DO IT THE "RIGHT" WAY!!!
every body is different. we all heal differently. it may take me 4 months to heal, while it took my husband 2 weeks. some people may have blowouts even after waiting 6 weeks, while others stretch after a week and their lobes look awesome....
SO to all of this I say, sharing your knowledge of the subject is great. That's why alot of us come here. But telling folks (who aren't asking for the advice) that they're doing it wrong just because they haven't followed how you believe it should be done isn't cool.
