I personally would rather hear the ugly truth than no truth at all. I can't make an informed decision about something without facts, and I believe others can inform me of things I've missed myself.

There are many topics here that contain facts that are graphic to some but not others. If you doubt that, read the ongoing thread about the little girl who had her tonsils out. This seems no different to me, in that it's subjective.

Reese, the request by focksie was to not include graphic information in the title of a thread, not that the graphic details should not be posted in the body of the thread. There was no objection to people being informed.

Thanks, Reese, for your reasonable, rational and mature response. I think I might just make you my new BFF.

Belle explained that she did her best - - trying FOUR times - - to word it in a way she felt would be acceptable. Okay, so some didn't find it acceptable. Belle apologized and focksie accepted the apology. But some just can't let it go. The problem is many don't bother to read a whole thread to learn the disagreement is over and has ended on a good note. They read a couple of posts that don't reveal an end to the discussion and then jump in to keep the disagreement alive and well.

Thanks, puglet. I read that other thread (focksie's), and I saw something interesting. The only people who repeated the "graphic" information in question, were those who said it shouldn't be there for all to see. lol

If I'm one of those who agrees with you and focksie, wouldn't that have upset me? After all, there was no warning at all in the title telling me it was there. Which is my point, actually. It's subjective, and I didn't find it graphic.

Exactly, FlirtyFilly. That's why I wanted to correct reese about the fact that the topic itself was not the objection.
