Apparently, from later postings, my spectic remark was not welcome...I shall refrain from such postings in the future...I think I offended David N. the most. Sorry David. I don't post very often and will try not to post in the near future. Have a good day!
is that chamogirl is well known at LHC as DavidN testified so there was really no reason to doubt her. I, and probably most LHC members, instantly recognized her name.
Thanks for your posting.
There is no need to stop posting to the board by any means, everyone is very welcome here. However, I should add that I thought Chamogirl had made it clear enough in her post that she knew some of the members here, she mentioned us by name. I felt I had earned her trust enough that I felt comfortable asking her to introduce herself to the MLHH. That is why I am really distressed that she was not received by everyone with open arms.
However, I would appreciate if you made an apology to Chamogirl, that would mean a lot to me right now.
Thanks,
David
Keep in mind that MOST of the users here do not visit the women's boards and do not know the regulars there. Nor are they familar with some of the jargon that is used there. It's a fair statement that most women on those boards do not know the regulars and jargon over here. Expecting instant familiarity when a guest at the other place is probably expecting too much - when dropping into a new forum, one is best off to tread lightly at first for that reason.
Men here have a reason to be skeptical. Women come here generally for three purposes:
Seeking an apology from someone whose skepticism is borne out by experience is not conducive to long-term understanding. As longhaired men we all very well know the irritation of being stereotyped, but we know the way to melt skepticism is by disproving their notions by our behavior. If your friend is as you say, she will by her behavior melt such skepticism in short order. My experience has been that skepticism cannot be beat out of someone with demands for apologies.

Thanks for the insight, Bill,
Perhaps I was just a bit too hasty in asking for an apology from Beachbum to chamogirl. I may have reacted a bit too quickly, perhaps it is because I have been a little upset over the situation myself.
After all, it was myself who asked chamogirl to drop by and introduce herself. I already know she supports long hair on men (the third point in your post) through my private messages with her, and felt she would be a welcome member of this community. I also was aware that she already has a family, and was not seeking relationships (the first point in your post) I should have been more aware that the members here would not be as aware of her love for long hair on men as I already was.
Again, my apologies,
David
The main thing to be sceptical of is one's own first gut reaction. Get the facts first. Scepticism is necessary, and healthy, but only with a dose of...scepticism.

Good point, very philosophical! :)
Arnt u lot all missing the point...its not up to anyone apart from the Moderators what is/isnt posted and who is allowed on..
Lighten up...its all a bit stupid isnt it?
Hey
beachbum
I think the matter should be stopped now and left well alone as this can go on and on reading whats been mentioned in the posts posted by yourself id give you this advice if you have nothing positive so say its best not to comment on the posts I think that is the best way to be for all matters concerned, as for never posting again they are not tell you to stop posting altogether they are merely telling to becareful what you post !

Skepticism is healthy sometimes. I say you don't refrain from anything short of out-right flames. Your posts and opinions are as valid as anyone else's. If you want to offend ME, you're going to have to try a hell of a lot harder ;-{)>>
