Mammele – I don’t think anyone considers it a problem to have long hair if it’s tied back, so I’m sure that is not what she meant.
I also don’t think it’s fair for anyone to insinuate that she is trolling. From all her previous posts, I have every reason to believe she is sincere in her question. Being sincere does not necessarily equal being ready and able to put everything into practice at once.
When someone asks such a question, she should be encouraged, not discouraged. Knowing Sparkly, she will take your advice seriously, as long as it’s sincere and given in a positive fashion.
