    Sometimes it is not easy....

    Hi guys,

    following the current discussion I am a bit astonished.
    What is this forum for?
    Isn't it to share the joy and information about kiltwearing? And help and attract people who are newly interested in kilts?
    Sometimes I get the impression we are living in the Holy Grail of kilts and don't want anyone to enter this splendid isolation.
    For me "silly" questions especially by a newbie is part of the game...losing a new member by giving the impression he and his question might be to silly to be treated seriously is a confession of failure and a disaster!
    I have read a lot of "silly" questions and comments the last years and most of the time they have been answered very kindly.
    But sometimes there are unfriendly and unhelpfull comments escpecially by people who might consider themselves being very polite.
    I made this experience myself and it wasn't really funny...so there might be
    space to improve!
    Might be that this is also a reason why I don't see some members anymore who have been great and cheerful sources in the past...

    A picture where the guy - might - wear the kilt in the wrong way seems tragic and maybe ridiculous but do we really need a discussion about this for our self assureence that we do it the right way? I don't think so....

    I personally think the atmosphere in the forum changed during the last month and it is less fun to be here...
