Response to Comment.

[Doc Hudson]

It depends on the comment and the manner in which it is delivered.

Polite, curious, or bewildered questions or comments recieve polite or sometimes humorous responces (such as, "Didn't you know today is Kilt Day?). While rude or aggressive comments recieve responses in the same vein.

Personally I consider the comment Derek posted about as being rude, and that Derek responded in a far kinder manner than the woman deserved.

While I agree that some people just don't deserve it, I think we should err on the side of politeness. After all, we are the ambassadors of the kilt! Can't we rise above the masses and be gentlemen?

Hear, Hear Dave! I have always tried to take that route, although the snide comments can certainly be aggrivating at times.

American President Theodore Roosevelt once said "courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage."

Didn't he also say "speak softly and carry a big stick"?

I do always try to be polite in my response to the comments and actions of others. Heck, I even apoligized to the guy that started a fight with me in Atlanta as I dragged him out of the way of my car.

Well said James, we are all gentlemen who wear the kilt!
