    What do you mean by 'reading people's experience? It will put you off what?

    ps. Some people who visit this forum may be offended by seeing certain words in print. In order to enable as many people as possible to enjoy discussing language without being upset, we try to self-censor potentially offensive words.
    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.

    Stop reading about other people's experiences of [name of activity]. It might fill your head with bullsh*t and put you off [trying it yourself].
