Gee Hal, how often do I have to profess that I am judicious in my actions before you believe me?  And at that, I will say thank you for being civil.  (do you feel better now?)

I don't understand why you believe that my attitude is condescending.  I was trying to understand Kuroneko's perspective.  With her as the teacher and me as the student.

My "seeming" desire for all women to have long hair is not stated and also not true.  Don't put words in my mouth.

And hey, the hair industry generally does "hate" long hair (and I'm talking about past mid-back or waist-length) if the hair is natural -- but if it's extensions the client craves, the industry is generally more supportive of that (expensive) option.

BTW, to whom did I condescend?

Maybe I just don't see you as judicious as you see yourself. 

I used the word seeming and covered it with quotation marks to clue you in that I was expressing my opinion about your opinion, not stating a fact.  Sorry if one went over your head.  I would never put words into your mouth.  However, it appears you have done just that to the beauty industry.  Do you have an article published by a beauty industry representative stating they as an industry they hate long hair?  Or would that just be your opinion?

Now Dave if you can tell me you are clueless, don't understand and need to be taught what Kuroneko was referring to, rather than just plain ole disagree.  I'll concede you no condescension on your part, however if you can't claim clueless ness, admit condescension.  Fair enough?

Well, actually, I have been chased off a few boards for having opinions :-P .  Sometimes I'm surprised that hasn't happened here. . . *shrugs* but if it hasn't so far, I think I'm pretty safe :-) .

I spend a lot of time explaining or defending my unique opinions and perceptions, so it didn't bother me to have to do so again there.  A lot of the traits the general public considers ideal, I don't care so much for.  I think I like a more cute or quirky kind of beauty :-) .

WRONG ANSWER!!!!!!  Be very careful, tread very lightly, you are showing signs that you too have fallen victim to that vast right wing hair conspiracy.  How you could allow yourself to be fooled by an illusion or worse a perception and and and (trembling fingers) god forbid have an opinion of your own! Private message to Kuroneko - I think you should quickly say something nice about Anne Currys long hair or better yet say how much you miss Alanis Morissette stringy... I mean long hair.  Otherwise I think you are risking the wrath of one of this boards aministrators.

Lol Hal.

Careful...you might get blacklisted.

I know, I have very different perceptions and opinions on most things than others :-P .  Her face just looks long and horsey to me.  Maybe I just prefer wider or rounder faces, but her face looks very long and stretched to me.  I don't remember it looking that way before, so I'd have to guess it's the hair making it look that way. . . or maybe I'm just willing to overlook imperfections more if someone's got hair I like. . .
