Auld Crabbits

[macwilkin]

No offense meant gents, but you're reading far too much into this. It was meant, as I said earlier, as a bit of fun...a witty title with a flair towards Scots dialect and colloquialism instead of the more straight forward and boring "kilted traditionalists". Again, I respect others opinions, but there's quite a bit of speculation here that really did't figure into it at all.

Look at our avatar -- Hector MacDonald of "Monarch of the Glen".

But what do I know? I'm only the guy that started the group.

Cajunscot, you started a group for like minded members, you named it as you saw fit, people have joined the group knowing the name of it, and I suspect, thinking the title was a nice bit of fun. (I think the group name is great and as you said it goes so well with the avatar)

I am a grumpy old man and thought it was great when the BBC brought out the series Grumpy Old Men. I think some people see a label and and immediately take offence to it. without seeing a possible fun side to it.

People it's good to have a giggle at yourself sometimes

No worries, Todd. I don't take it that seriously. That said, I find myself strangely proud to be an Auld Crabbit and since I am the only one using it in my signature (that I know of) strangely compelled to defend the notion.

But what do I know? I'm a dinosaur...

I just thought it was because Hector MacDonald was our hero and expert on all things "auld" and "crabby"
