Lifting a Kilt

[Panache]

As things seem to be getting a bit heated I would like to try to add a bit of perspective here.

We choose to wear kilts

The kilt has all sorts of associations with it.

Like it or not "The Question" and Kilt Lifters are part of those associations.

If you wear a kilt, sooner or later (unless you are Grant ) you are going to be asked what you wear under your kilt and/or someone is going to want to see for themselves.

Here is the great thing, you know this. Forewarned is forearmed. We all have the opportunity to prepare an arsenal of witty phrases ready to disarm someone. If that isn't comfortable to you then a stern glance and simple "None of your business" will suffice. For the would-be lifter a quick downward brush with one's hand and a very direct "NO" is a very simple matter.

If you can't accept the associations and deal with them in a reasonable manner then I'd advise you to not wear a kilt.

If someone physically attacks me I will resort to violence. If someone is rude I am not going to do so. This would be overreacting and wrong.

On that same note, no matter how rude someone else is I am not going to descend to their level. I am a gentleman first and foremost, and a gentleman knows how to deal with rude people and remain a gentleman.

Cheers

Jamie
