Fedora with the kilt?

BRAVO. LISTEN TO YOUR OWN MUSE NOT THAT OF SOMEONE ELSE. ULTIMATELY YOU HAVE TO PLEASE THE MAN IN THE MIRROR NOT SOME CURMUDGEON ON THIS FORUM.ith:

If anyone is brave/foolish/discourteous enough to genuinely not care about others' opinion, then why post on the forum? If one merely seeks uncaring approval, then asking a large number strangers is a bad idea, for some will surely differ. Personally, I enjoy the fact that members express different views. I will defend to my last breath anyone's right to dress as he pleases, but if my opinion is asked, I will give it honestly, even if it ruffles feathers....

I think people ask for opinions to get different points of view in order to make a more informed decision. That said, asking for an opinion does not obligate you to agreeing with the opinion or to following the advice that is offered.

If opinions are offered (and received) in a gentlemanly manner, without rancor and condemnation of differing points of view, we do not have to worry about ruffled feathers. Some people will see an offense where none is offered, but that really can not be helped.
