I hate to say something that would be betraying all you lovely posters. No sarcasm intended, I think this is the most civil, active, intelligent and interesting board on the site, which is why I choose to post here, despite what I am about to say. My commitment to having my hair long is about zilch. I feel like doing a cutting it short/growing it out thing for a bit, although I did used to have rather long hair, till I literally got bored and took scissors to it one day. I like my hair to amuse myself, and if long will amuse me, I let it grow for a bit. I can already hear the tarring and feathering committee coming at me, but please hold on. I'm not at all unsupportive of long haired persons, in fact, I appreciate their dedication. Just saying I'm not one.

There will be no tarring and feathering going on here!
There's no rule -- here or anywhere -- that says you have to be totally committed to having long hair. You aren't betraying anybody by answering honestly.
I asked the question in part because I wanted to see how varied the responses were. And, you have shown that responses can vary quite a lot.
So, feel free to enjoy your hair as you see fit.

Logical position with a logical ground to base yourself on : do as you please, w/o buying into any outside influence. Hack away if it is YOUR desire, let it grow if YOU want it to grow.
At least this is a sincere post with some sort of relevance to long hair, unlike Brent, who has almost taken a habit in these last 7-10 days to troll these boards with an incompatible bias with at least the main goal of this board. I'm sure he finds people better with short hair, but his attitude is almost fringing the relative equivalent of wearing KKK clothing in Harlem, and expecting us to listen. (note that while I'm not linking him to BEING a Klansman, he is free to say as he wishes outside of areas that are clearly opposed to him. It's like organizing a gay parade in a church or organizing an atheist world tour explicitly stopping at the most religious sites in the world.)
I hate all of the following and lots more : Fundamentalists, racists, sexists, fascists, ageists (people saying seniors = senile , kids = stupid , 18 = immature or a combo of them), and bigots for causes yet to receive their own designation.

Spot on, Kintaro. Quite a few of Brent's posts here are thinly-veiled attempts to promote his interest, which just so happens to diametrically oppose this board's topic. Since he has posted on another board that he's a fan of short hair, maybe he'd like to share with us why he wants to promote short hair here. Brent, care to comment?
