Saw Pipe Major insignia on Prince Charlie Jacket

I just object, as usual, to the harsh terms people use so easily against others' dress preferences.

I'm with Hospitaller on this...and most surprised by what seems to be a new attitude towards "The Rules" that harsh terms are welcome in responding to requests for opinions.

At least this request wasn't a personal thing.

Been disturbing me for a few weeks now...particularly when new members are "ambushed" with harsh responses to basic requests...

But, yes, I know, way off the topic. Hospitaller's response just resonated with me.

Unfortunately, Ron, it tends to go both ways. I would agree that the delivery could be improved at times, but whenever a traditionalist offers their opinion following the customs and conventions of Higland dress, they are met with a number of "there are no rules" posts and the like.

Understand that for sure.

Was speaking more to the "tone," use of adjectives, and what might seem personal digs, in the responses.

But I'm off topic and have no specifics at hand.

Ron,

Agreed; see in my last post the comment about "delivery".
