    Those are pretty much the reasons I unsubscribed and came over here.Here at X Marks you've got the full spectrum of kilts and wearers.Add my thanks to the list. I'm afraid the sane part leaves me out-I still wear pants half the time!

    Unfortunately, a few of them come over here and do the exact same thing!

    Fortunately, their posts are few and far between.

    That's why I won't deal with anyone (except directly with the owner) when it comes to anything with UtiliKilts. Apparently, he's the one that really knows what's going on... and I respect his opinions, facts, and demeanor.

    As somebody who's been "told off" a couple of times, I've got to say that I like it better this way. I think on some issues, they've come in too early but I've also seen other forums where these things have gone from bad to worse, to really ugly without anyone stepping in. I've also got to acknowledge that I've seen very few forums where the thread turns around on its own so it's probably best to assume the potential for disaster is greater than the opposite.
    Okay, this works for me.

    Unsubscribing from the UK list here in a moment, with an email to UK telling them if they have the list they advertise as 'the' list they should moderate the thing, because being talked down to and being told you are an idiot by the other listmembers... reflects poorly on UK as a whole. To be honest, it really has put a bad taste in my mouth to wear a UK because I sure as hell don't want to be associated with the kind of people that populate that list. Here's the straw that broke MY back...

    There was a thread on 'commando' and 'regimental' and 'freeballing' etc. Someone who had previously been talking down to me said going commando originated with WOMEN not MEN. Well, that made no sense to me. I responded:

    Women go "commando"? Um... sure, that makes all the sense in the world.

    I just got a response, from someone OTHER than the person I was having the discussion with:

    In utilikilt@yahoogroups.co.uk, Ed Benckert wrote:

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    Say Lad...(Smakes him up the side of the head)... Who do you think
    gave it a name???

    A GUY!!!...Commando would mean a woman is ready for action.

    Give it a name.... Stupidity!!!

    Lad, you are showing your IGNORANCE!!!


    So, I'm done there. Thanks again mods for keeping that kinda junk off of xmarks.

    The one who responded to you obviously doesn't recognize sarcasm even when it's that obvious. Sounds like a sorry place to be.
