I guess I have a whole different take on this. I believe we are comparing XMarks to a highland clan - MacBeth for example. Now, since no one can trace their genealogy to claim Xmarks membership - membership must be by choice, rather than blood.

If we are comparing XMarks to something like a St. Andrews society then I suppose that would be a different kettle of fish...

Personally I like the motto as is and mean no disrespect with my choice..

People of XMarks be wary. Look who has posted these "polls". None other than Panache! From member to House Chairman to Moderator in just a scant few weeks. I believe that Jamie is seruptiously planning a bloody take over of XMarks. We havn't heard from Mike1 in ages, Highlandtide was probably only let out of the bloody tower to keep up appearances, to stop those of us questioning Panache's motives. HE WANTS TO BE NAMED XMARKS CLAN CHIEF! Perhaps even King then he can install the F-H.C.A.G as queen and make us all wear pink flippin' kilts!!!

Aside from that I vote "By choice, not by blood" Well phrased your Majesty. And thank you Colin I do look cool in a kilt.

How about "Not Just By Blood"

You were, of course, my inspiration for that comment, Grant.*

* of course it only had to do with the new leather rkilt.

I vote for "By My Own Choice, For My Own Reasons"

**cacunn** · 21st August 07, 03:49 PM

How about
By Bloody Choice

You'd better watch that kind of talk Grant - I hear the Saltire is fitted with bomb racks!!!!!!!

Bonnie Prince Jamie?

I'll run and hide now.

Heed my warnings or this is in our future:

Might as well have Steve get the weavers starting up.

I voted against the proposal and would support the quoted motto above. The word "choice" - for me - is closely associated with several other highly emotional issues. Wearing a kilt is not a political, moral or social issue for me. I just like wearing one. And I enjoy the fellowship this group offers.
