To kilt in modern north american society

[Alan H]

Really? Not normal X Marks?

Well in fact, you're right. It wasn't "normal" X Marks, because in normal X Marks the Scot, nobody rocks the proverbial boat. It boggles my mind that so many of you don't see what's plain as the nose on my face to me and a couple of other folks here. But OK then. You don't see it.

You all can think that you don't want to look like "them"..those "slobs"... whoever they are. Those people whose shoes aren't clean enough for you; we mustn't be like "them". Those kids who "sag" their pants - that's a favorite. Mustn't be like "them". You all can settle in nicely with your notion that you/we know best, that our debonair taste in tweed and tartan clothing makes us just a bit classier than "those people", or just a little bit better than the ignorant who might .....God Forbid..... commit the horrible sin of not dressing, in your opinion, appropriately for the occasion, and enjoy the forum of like-minded folks.

Carry on.

Regarding thekiltedmohawk, I'm glad he hasn't left. Folks don't have to agree with each other to be able to make contributions here. He has every right to put me on "ignore" if that makes his experience on XMTS more pleasant. I am, however, sad that he edited out his posts.... kind of makes this whole section of the thread sort of pointless.
