Outstanding Individuals

[davedove]

Has anyone else noticed how many of the board members are just extremely decent people? I wonder if it has anything to do with kilt wearing. Could it be that the confidence that comes from wearing the kilt translates to them just having a greater respect for others?

Kudos to all you outstanding kilted gentlemen (and you ladies too ).

It's one of the biggest reasons I hang around... It's most enjoyable to not have to deal with all the childish garbage that seems to happen on every other forum I've been to..

Hats off to you all!

I know you are but one of mine!

It's very nice to have place to post where you know ppl are decent types who are not out for ego gratification or other spitefulness. The world has enough genuine troubles without going online to find some more in the cyberworld.

I also appreciate the hard-working mods who keep the board clean & troll-free.

Does it have to do with wearing the kilt? I'm not sure. Obviously, there are nice ppl who wear trousers, & there are probably jerks who wear kilts. I think as far as this board is concerned, it most likely has to do with the moderating.

Takes one to know one!

I do admit you all are a ton of fun.

I've noticed the same.
We're only indecent on windy days.

I appreciate the glimpse into the intelligent men's mind you all give me.

And the tutorage on kiltmaking!

Yes, as a vintage transport fan I also post on various avaition, railway and bus fora and x-marks is far more civilised than any of the others.

We truely have a wonderful membership of men and women here at XMarks. It is the best board I've ever had honor in which to participate.

This is purely theorectical, but I think wearing the kilt somehow raises us above anything petty. Perhaps it's the personal respect that we have for what the garment means to each of us, and we are more apt to translate that into respect for other people. I know I'm the same person I was before I ever wore a kilt, but I'm more confident, more patient, more tolerlant, and certainly more respectful. Can a piece of cloth really do all that? Well, we've all heard the expression "we are what we eat," perhaps "we are what we wear" as well.

Believe it or not...I've been a die hard online gamer...for years...."retired" now.

I played Shogun Total War and Call of Duty...and some other games also....been a member and a leader of some "clans"...websites, forums, teamspeak...even visited international clan meetings.

I've witnessed weird and even disgusting behaviour on the internet...think of the worst...and multiply it by 10 and you'll come sort of close....

This "community" is like heaven to me...adult people who behave like adults....we have fun, we try to help eachother and even beyond that.

Of course...the binding factor is the kilt, but I dare to say...people who wear kilts are special and the active members of this forum are...yep....special.

Maybe it's not the kilt...maybe it's sheer luck....whatever...this forum is great!
