A tartan conundrum.

[Scott Gilmore]

.... I did, indeed ask for opinions and I appreciate all of them.

I'd like to note right up front that my comments below are meant respectfully.

Contacting Baron Boughtmytitle at this point would be moot. Matt told me in a PM that the tartan is registered with the STA. It's too late for my concerns to have any effect. He has already taken the offensive action.

If you guys don't understand why I'm angry about this, I guess I've failed to make myself clear. I'm not sure how to explain it any better, though.

Bob, with all due respect, perhaps you've failed to make yourself understood because your initial reaction was emotional, not rational, and based on what we now know is a misunderstanding of the facts. Is it possible that you are now defending that position for emotional rather than logical reasons as well?

Again, no offense intended, Bob. It's just that you certainly strike me as a bright, articulate and intelligent person--not at all ineloquent. If you are unable to convince others in a friendly and sympathetic environment (this forum), perhaps you should take stock and reconsider your opinion.

Thank you for your sincerity and openness in engaging in this dialog. When the discussion is over, I hope this will be perceived positively; I certainly do.
