    So, does this thread need to be moved to the miscellaneous thread, where we talk about things in our lives not necessarily related to the kilt? Or is this one of those topics (of which their seem to be many) about which so many people are so afraid or so insecure of their own reasoning that they feel their need to have their opinion protected beyond their ability to defend it outweighs the right of others to free intercourse among civilized adults? Or that some here are only pretending to be adults? Or civilized? A serious question here, folk, absolutely, ABSOLUTELY no attempt to stir the pot or cause dissension. Much of my effort as an adult has been directed toward helping people find more joy and health in their lives, and greater understanding of themselves and the world around them. Around the world I have been thought to be pretty good at it, and welcomed into a broad spectrum of cultures precisely because I value all cultures and viewpoints, not just my own. Yet here I have been accused of all sorts of villainy, from insulting someone's culture, which I did not, to getting my history from bad Hollywood movies, which, having not seen most of said movies , it's unlikely to be the source of any error. No, any error in my thinking is earned the usual way, and I am on a quest to eliminate it. Now, sometimes, we just have an irrational or purely emotional attachment to a certain position, even when we know it to be foolish........and that's OK. We are adults, and we have that right. We do not, however, have any valid reason to interfere with those who do wish to discuss something when all we have to do is bow out, which is what I have done when it is clear I'm not going to get fruitful discourse. I, too, read the rules, and am WILLING to have them stand. I just keep having this recurring daydream of actually getting to know all of you, and having access to your amazing talents and experiences. Of each of you getting how improbable it is that the universe has managed to make such a blend as your own fine selves. Talk about quality distilling! Have fun, people. It's not gonna go on your PERMANENT RECORD that you enjoyed something or learned something new or expanded your horizons ever so slightly.



    Mods: No need now to close thread. I believe after folks read this post, it will die all by itself, with much overturning of furniture, as people rush from their keyboards in disgust and/or boredom.

    Also, no attack intended on any any individual or post pointing out the rules, as they are the rules. Just a serious wondering .
