My reasons for this i feel a person should stand behind there words. If the person themselves dosen't stand behind there words why should i take the time to respond to it. I have made an exception here. If you read my post i clearly stated i shave my beard every morning. By no means am i suggesting doing nothing about facial hair. I also do not think someones self worth is impared if they chose to better themselves cosmeticly. However, i think for many there self worth is damaged by there facial hair and i feel that is an important issue to discuss. I my no means dictate or even encourage what others should discuss on this board, i speak only for myself. I was discussing why something is most triggering to me and quite frankly i find your response not only not unsupportive but hostile.
