Yes it is, and it's important. It is also logical and very much to the point. However, we are not dealing with a normal participant in this case. If you'll go back and read over the archives, you'll discover that most of those promoting mutilation have pretty much given up because of the overwhelming positive responses that are coming in relating to stretching efforts. They no longer have a case because all of the "patients" don't need anything cut off now that everything works as intended.
Look at who remains. Credentials? He claims to have attempted stretching, but failed. His doctor advised cutting, and he accepted the suggestion. Meanwhile, there have been a dozen or more young men who have taken the advice on how to stretch the skin. They have found results, documented on these pages. Scientific evidence has been presented to back up the methods suggested. References to scientific articles have been cited to give substance to the methods. Links to other sites which also show evidence of the validity of stretching have also been offered. Thus far, even with the overwhelming proof that stretching works, and always works, AJ stands alone in the world, refusing to admit that he was wrong. I think you can easily draw the same conclusion that many of us already have.
Your suggestion that everyone should chill is certainly in order. However, this is not the first time or the first place it has been suggested, and I'll dare to say, it won't be the last. I'll also dare to say that suggestion is futile. Why? It's up to one person to steer this ship back on course, and he refuses to recognize his problems.
