Not disputed, but an auld fella sneered at my Black Watch kilt once, and said something unpleasant about Campbells.

Unfortunately, every clan and tartan has it's "baggage." And there are twits the world over looking for an excuse to take offense at imagined slights.
Of course, I take offense at such twits, so perhaps I'm not so noble as I think myself to be! 
Resolved: I shall avoid, to the best of my ability, giving offense to any person. I will offer sincere apology to any soul that I inadvertently offend.
And I will offer blunt force trauma to any thick-witted lout who insists upon....
Hmmm... perhaps I should work a bit more on my resolution?

The only problem I have had (so far) is the Macleans of Duart insisting that the Maclaine's of Lochbuie are the same clan . . . . No further comment needed here.

As Mark Twain said" I hate dueling. Should anyone challenge me to a duel, I will take them gently by the hand and kindly and lovingly lead them to a quiet place and kill them".
