Ah yes Brother let us all do what is right in our own eyes. 

I totally diagree that this is an issue of long and short, not cut and
uncut. I refer you to 1 Corinthians 11:5-6.  Does being uncovered have
nothing at all to do with being shaven??  Is it a shame for a woman to be
*shorn*, (could this mean trimmed with a double edged shearing tool?)  Is it
a shame for a woman to be *shaven* (could this mean cut very closely to the
skin with a single edged shear?)  These are the questions of cut and uncut
not long and short.  Are you the standard setter of long and short? Then...
How long is long? How short is short?  

No you are not the standard setter for anyone, not even yourself, if you
have been bought with a price that is.  You are not your own.  Let every man
