    Though no loss, still problems because of cutting:

    I read all of the links with deaths....none were really related to cutting eggs lol. The first link said they were dead before they cut the eggs open, and so on. I think the only ones that had issues were with people not cutting properly, or rolling eggs over after cutting them. Just because the title is about cutting eggs open does not mean the issue was caused by this. Plus, all of the links only had like 1 death usually and the rest were fine, and like I said, the deaths were not caused by egg cutting. I know others may have had more issues, but these are not good examples at all sorry...

However, in the background, there's a baby crying with a black eye and a guy cooking meth. Would you just give your opinion on what the woman is wearing? Or would you want to say "Hey, that's not the best idea" or perhaps go to the extreme and call the cops.

    What happened with you is that when you said you cut at day 50, people saw the potential problems. No one knew if you had done your research and not many knew that someone else with more experience was doing the cutting. So based on only the information that was given, people thought it was something they needed to speak up about in order to ensure that you were well aware of the risk you were taking.

    Now, smart alec replies and sarcasm are REALLY hard to pull off over the internet. Frankly, the way you pulled it off wasn't as best as it could be and I certainly didn't catch on to it being a "joke-like manner". Even just a simple smiley face didn't really help (a lot of times sarcastic people use those to further their sarcasm). Just be more careful with what you say, how you say it, and the information you give so maybe this won't happen again.

    I agree, it is more difficult to tell what people are actually thinking when just reading a sentence or a few. Like I said, I am sorry if you took it as me being upset or lashing out at other, but I certainly did not mean it that way. A little sarcastic? Certainly, but that is just me, sorry if you don't like it :P
