    Suggestions of Scottish Weapons Forums?

    Grüß Gott!

    Could there be some recommendations for other Forums made specific for the discussions of Scottish Weapons? A Forums less timorous than what is tolerated here? There is to much restraint to keep a in-depth discussion happening here due to some rules that are in place. I am now certain that many will read this wrongly and shout loudly. All I ask is of links of other more Scottish Highlands Weapons related Forums.

    This is a good Forum for discussions around the Kilt, not so much for Scottish Weapons.


    Tschüß!

    I personally cannot see why the kilt and all forms of Scottish weapons cannot be discussed on this forum. In fact they are to a point(sorry!), as long as we keep the kilt as the main topic of conversation------we ARE a kilt forum after all------ and keep the discussion to Scottish sharp pointy things then all appears to be fine. Where the sticking point arises, is where kilts and Scottish things that go bang get combined. Yes I know! We have been down this route all too many times before , but surely there is some room for manoeuvre that can be found somewhere?

    No,no this is not what I asked. No Politiks. I will not want to reopen this topic. Thank you Jock for your answer.

    All I wish is to know other Forums exist to discuss in depth the merrits of Scottish Weapons with out the clout of the censor.

    If I wish to speak of the Claymore I do not have to feel I need to write Kilt every sescond verse. This is NOT a critisism of this Forum, no!


    Thank you Geoff Withnell for your recemendation, I will examine the Forums you posted.

    Thank you all, I had not wish to offend.

    My friend, you're getting pretty insulting here. I am no censor, but as one who's been here for a couple of years I rather like things the way they are.

    I won't shout loudly, but we're hardly timorous either. Time to cool off and do some online searching if you want to find those, without what sound to me rather like cheap shots.

    Of all of the fora on the Internet, this one generally has polite conversation, not angry words.

    I hope you find what you want, but let's not toss words like "timorous" and "censor" into the discussion; it starts to sound as if you really don't like it here.
