With all due respect to all the combatants on this post surely we are big boys and shake hands and put it in the past. Example: Last year Massage Maestro and I had a pissing contest and bad words were exchanged.
By now all is forgotten
so lads if we can do it... so can you
Fortunately, I have a rare form of Alzheimer's called Conflictus Forgettatitus. So, I don't know what Cabinman is talking about:
1. If there is one thing I had to relearn (something good parents and grandparents) should teach) is: two wrongs don't make a right. I lashed out at someone the same way they lashed out at me. Problem is: some individials in the forum wouldn't know why lashed out...and it just makes me alone look bad.
2. When it comes to trying to stop people from taking unecessary risks in this "hobby"(as it had been described),...
sometimes its best to reason with people privately. So, whether its not going for massages until we have a covid19 vaccine, up to not seeking bare back services...perhaps its best to not (as I have)criticise publicly.
I believe taking these two steps, could reduce public feuding. (But, again...try your best to be honest with yourself and ask:
How might these words be received by other member(s), before typing them . But, also have a thick enough skin to take a little good natured ribbing. As, I am known to dish out.)
Lastly, if somone regular writes in a way
that: 1. Doesn't recognize the advice of health professionals, 2. Gives constant hypocritical advice, or 3. Criticises in a way that doesn't feel constructive....
You MAY want to use that Ignore feature.
Otherwise, you will just be constantly stressed out...over a forum of regular conflicts, with a bunch of members, almost all of which, you will never get to know in a real, offline relationship.
There is enough in the real world to bring you down. Don't let the online world suck you into its up and down, rollercoaster vices.
Sincerely,
Maestro
