It be one thing is she chose to shave it as a fasion statement. Dont get me started again on how it's just creepy to think disease caused baldness is hot.

I'm confused about your email.  Natalie shaved her head for a movie role, not because of any disease or any role of a diseased person.  While I like short hair and think Mandy would look awesome in short hair - the completely bald look does not appeal to me.  Maybe Mandy will just get it cut pixie short. 

 

Mandy says, "I'm thinking of shaving my head...".  A far cry from "I'm going to shave my head..."   I would be surprised if she did actually do it.  

 

It takes a special woman with the right features to look good buzzed or bald.  IMO, Mandy doesn't have it...  I think she looks better with longer hair.  I don't follow her looks or career very closely but from what I've seen, her short hairstyles haven't been terribly inspiring. 

 

If she wants to do it, more power to her. (I don't think she will...)  However, I believe shaving her head would be a mistake.

 and read what mikeY posted and it didnnt mention  she wanted to shave her head he just mentioned she would look good shaved bald, I posted a comment and it wasnt until after i clicked on the link thay I learned the headline wasnt in context with what was realyl going on. She isnt going bald, like a person "going" bald, she wants to shave her head, or at least mentioned she would like to, that's a large leap from the headline " Mandy Moore Going Bald"

I do apologize though for thinking she was "balding" and that mikeY though it was cool and tohught she should just shave her head as a result of the balding.

As you can see combined with the headline and his post  it is easy for one to have thought that.

And to answer anyone's question about disease caused baldness, it's alopecia aerta,  notable person who had it Princess someone of Monaco, it's rare but woman get it and it causes parital to complete baldness.

There is actually studies and in recent news scientist ,headed by a woman who used to have alopecia and was cured permatley have found the dna that causes it and are close to finding a cure within the next 5 years.

 

It was quite easy to click the link and see EXACTLY what the post was about.  No excuse...  Hopefully, you won't be so quick to jump to the wrong conclusion and be so eager to rip someone a new one before you you have all the info.

That was the idea...  I thought it appropriate to cut DarkHelmet just as much slack as he did MikeY.  I hope DarkHelmet feels so dreadful about it that he loses sleep.  He needs to be taught a lesson! 

 

 

I can't let it go.  I CAN'T...  We need to teach him a lesson he will never ever forget so that he will never do it again.  How can you just expect me to let it go?

DarkHelmet's post (1:51 am CDT May 26) seems perfectly reasonable ("going bald" can occur either by choice, or not).  Rocky's statement that he felt he was being ripped... seemed unwarranted because that is not consistent with DarkHelmet's message.

 

When in doubt, take a moment to reconsider the words of others, to be sure the other person's post is clearly understood.

Yes, I agree, Dave, but not reasonable in the context of MikeY's original message which DarkHelmet obviously didn't bother to read.  It was clear from MikeY's post that he was not referring to someone losing their hair due to disease.  Hence, all the "I'm confused..." posts that followed DarkHelmet's message.

I did not feel that I was being ripped by DarkHelmet's post of May 26 1:51AM.  It was MikeY who was being ripped by DarkHelmet in his post of May 25 (Message #2 in this thread).

While I agree that delighting in someone losing their hair because of disease is creepy, that isn't what  Mike's post was about, clearly.  I whole-heartedly agree with you that people take a moment to consider the words of others, to be sure the other person's post is clearly understood.  That was the point of my response to which Kramer told me to calm down. 

Ultimately, my message is the same as your's.  DarkHelmet didn't bother to read and understand MikeY's post before getting on his Soap Box. 

 

In case any of you reading this thread didn't pick up on it, my third message (the one with the animated gifs)  was intended to be "over the top" to parody those who are oh so quick to go off on a rant over nothing at all.

Something like this?
