"I made a post about cutting my hair... and just like my hair... it's gone"
The purpose of this message board and online community is to encourage men in growing and maintaining long hair. Your post told of how good it felt to get a haircut. This is hardly supportive of those of us who have--or are striving to have--long hair.
I am skeptical of your claim of being a "longhair at heart." To me, you seem more like a short-haired man who appreciates long hair on other men. I'm cool with that. I'm cool with you liking having short hair. I do, however, take exception with your comment that you had "forgotten how handsome you were" until you cut off your hair. The inference is that growing long hair somehow makes men less handsome. I'll assume that you were simply speaking for yourself, and leave it at that.
I used to have long hair. I will again, soon enough. Each day that passes, my hair grows longer, and I become a more handsome, vibrant, powerful, and quietly confident man than I was the day before.

Val, except for the "handsome" and "man" words, this is exactly how I feel about my hair.
Thank you for putting it so eloquently.

Hi Val,
Wise words indeed and well said.
I like the last line you wrote and you can't say fairer than that.
Cheers,

I, too, love that last paragraph. Here's my favorite literary quote about hair, (it may sound familiar, I posted it here a long time ago) from the novel "Gates of Fire", about the Spartans at Thermopylae. Contrary to the movie "300", Spartan warriors wore their hair very long. Here's the quote:
"Long hair is the only thing that can make a handsome man more good-looking, and an ugly one more terrifying. Besides, it's free!"
Keep it growing!

Awesome. Thanks, man!

I'm guessing your post violated the rules of this board. Now would be a good time to familiarize yourself with all of the general policies and the FAQ, all of which can be located easily from the main page.
Peace,

Hah ya alright guys.see ya later ! Didn't realize some of you are so sensitive, LOL see ya !
Don't mean to come across as overly-sensitive. I have no emotional investment in what you choose to do with your hair, nor do your choices affect what I do with mine. I'd just hate to learn that your telling of a haircut prompted a member of this community--maybe on a "bad hair day," or the like--to cut off his hair, to his later regret. This could happen, which is why I believe the "I cut off my hair" posts are inappropriate on this forum.
Seriously, no hard feelings, man. If you're glad with your decision, I truly am happy for you. We just have a different idea of what's in good taste on this message board.

Val sums it up nicely. There was nothing in your post that was of any benefit to the users. It was not in keeping with the general theme of "growing" your hair nor was it supportive of others growing their hair.

There are very few sites supporting long hair for men. Ours AFAIK is the largest site of its kind. Our mission is to give support to men with long hair and to give support to those men who desire to grow their hair long.
Short hair is not what we are about.

I really don't care what people think about my hair. My hair is long and I will never cut it. Maybe trim the ends, but that's it. I am in this for life. Period. It's who/whom I am.
I always had trouble with that who/whom thing.

If you'd say "him" for the pronoun, use "whom". To him, to whom, for him, for whom.. but "it is he..." so "it is who..."
I went to skool a long time ago, so hope I got this lesson in grammer straight.
To him who was whom, (for whom it was him) could very well have been he, and it should have said "whom it is'" or "it is whom" no matter whom or what he or him (regardless of whom said it) was. So the one that said "he who was whom" was suppose to be "whom that was he" despite the fact that whom said it was he,(who could not have been whom) as the person who spoke of him was known to be as he.
(I would cringe to pontificate upon and unveil the grades I received in grammer by whom was my teacher. Hint: Not A's by any means. No way!)
Always a pleasure to learn something new. :-)
That is fine, except that lots of people will say, "It is him," instead of "It is he." So many people say, "It's me," over "It's I," that the latter is regarded by many as incorrect. They favor the objective form of the pronoun over the subjective.
On the other hand, "whom", the objective form of the word, is seen as stilted in some contexts, and it is avoided by many speakers in some situations. For "who" and "whom", people tend to err towards the subjective form "who".
In the case questioned, "It's who/whom I am," the subjective form "who" is correct, and people tend to favor "who" over "whom" anyway, so use of "whom" there would be rare by a native speaker.
We do all this just to irritate all of the non-native speakers of English, who outnumber us anyway.

"Whom is him" just doesn't sound right.
Right, but "Who is he?" does...
Probably a rule violation, but if it was, mentioning it on the board is another rule violation. The rules say questions about moderation decisions should be e-mailed to the moderators and not posted to the board.
And if my post here is "complaining" about your behavior, it is also a rule violation. [grin] But this needs to be said to folks in general from time to time, because so many seem to miss ever seeing these rules.
Posts that WARN other users (such as pointing out a post contains viruses) are okay! Other than that, all this stuff should just be e-mailed to the moderators. They will be much more receptive to a user's request if it is e-mailed to them, rather than if it is posted to the board. Posts to the board are not necessarily seen by all moderators, and those who do see such may be less inclined to take up a request that has been asked in an inappropriate way.
