God FORBID I should make a stupid comment.
God forbid I should make I make a mistake. Or even that I should repeat that mistake. I'm human. It comes with the territory, and we don't always learn from the first mistake.

And God forbid I should get polite correction here in the Lounge, especially when I meant no harm, and was just trying to give well-meaning advice. Nooo, I get sarcasm, vitriol, and really hateful insults about my sexual prowess and experience (or, admittedly, lack thereof, although God knows I try) and concern for my partner's happiness (which I do have).

A simple "this can be harmful and you shouldn't have advocated it" would have sufficed, without having 3 different people flaming me. Sheesh, I thought the Lounge was supposed to be a respite from the flamewars.

I apologize for my comment. Let's see if the folks who insulted me will do the same.

3. No excuses.
Carry out the prime directive! Carry out the prime directive!

Never underestimate the flaming capabilities of the lounge. Remember the Olive Garden!!!

5. Keep in mind
that some people visit here just to rant and rave. They get up on the wrong side of the bed everyday. Don't let it get to you. Just ignore them and get on with your life. Those people just are not happy unless they have something to complain about.

9. God forbid anybody even speaks anymore, in fear of not being sufficiently _____.
I'm agreeing with you on all counts.

13. Actually, you can't even think about that anymore.
Which means you can't admit you think such-and-such and you can't discuss such-and-such on specific websites or with specific people.

I have no idea what the OP is talking about, but the PC police are always on patrol.

10. I am in 100% agreement with you. Bravo!
Some people are a little too quick to the trigger.

11. "I thought the Lounge was supposed to be a respite from the flamewars."
Thinking this is actually your only mistake. It's actually worse here, sometimes. I'm not finding fault, as I'm knee deep in it many times.

I have three words for you: consider the source.

And if something gives you a stinky hand that you need to wash for 10 minutes, it's no fucking wonder that you wouldn't want to put your face near it

14. Your mistake was going anywhere near that thread.
Seriesly, when the first five responses look like this:

:popcorn:

just stay the fuck away and let somebody else step in it.



PS Douching makes the yeasty beasties and bacterial issues much worse. It's self cleaning and getting rid of beneficial bacteria throws the whole system out of whack.

PPS Should you run into a lady with persistent issues like that down there, get her to go to the doctor. Self-diagnosed recurrent yeast or bacterial infections often turn out to be something else, such as chlamydia, when looked at by a professional.

PPSS If you already have, go get checked out yourself in case you caught something you could be spreading. Dudes spread yeast infections and other yucky stuff too.

18. Those first three lines should be a permanent sticky around here
Best Lounge advice ever (and probably applicable in GD and LBN as well).

17. You want advice? Here it is: Apologize and move on, rather than whining.
I've posted more than once things that were inadvisable, and apologised for each one.

Then it was over. I've never felt the need to whine about having to apologize.

But that's just me. Your mileage may vary.
