Is it possible that irish moss could have a negative effect on head retention. Since head retention relies on the presence of proteins couldn't the irish moss be pulling those out?
 
I use it in all my pales and ipa's, absolutely zero affect on head retention.
 
I would have to say that unless you use an absurd amount of it you aren't going to run into any kind of retention problems
