thanks golfer for the undeserved compliments!
I know we discussed that issue before, at this time I was really pointing more to the idea that it is not appropriate to make such comments about greying hair any more than about being fat. If you don’t like your grey, then dye it. But don’t call it ugly and give the impression a person might be making the wrong choice if they don’t dye it because that isn’t fair. Some people may not care, some people may have made peace with it and it isn’t necessary to catagorize it as a negative without giving a thought to all the people it may apply to.
I didn’t feel insulted, the rest of my hair was grey long ago and I honestly forgot I even had a grey streak til it came up here a couple times. It isn’t about me, tho. It’s about being sensitive even about things that you don’t think are a problem. Anytime you are going to comment negatively about an appearance, realize there are many others out there who may be swept into the same catagory. If it is universally bad, than fine. But sometimes it isn’t.
