Or maybe its because having decided to follow a clothing path that most people view as odd just makes us more open minded about alternative opinions and attitudes.

I visit another site for information:

http://forums.swordforum.com/forumdi...php?forumid=27

but other sites I have visited don't keep me interested like this site. Besides I need to get out and work so I can get more stuff ( Don't tell my wife)

Oh and Jays page.

That's an excellent observation, Jerry. Also, the diversity we have among the membership - a wide range of ages, many different types of occupations, as well as different nationalities. We all get along and respect each other. Almost makes me wonder if the kilt is the key to world peace.

I'm very happy that this thread was started. This is a unique forum. Perhaps, the quality of this forum has some relationship to the kind of confidence one needs to have to wear a kilt. I'm constantly amazed at how little ego seems to popup in a negative way here. Males most of us are, but confident and competent males with a love of the kilt, its history and its future.

I appreciate the knowledge and history that some of these fine people posses. It's always nice to have a friendly debate or heated topic and have a voice of reason with some history behind it to help the situation. We do all have a lot to share but sometimes need an arbitrator to answer a debate or question to keep things moving or on track.
We have much to learn from one another, some people here just add more to it to make it a learning experience.
That's pretty cool from a little kilt site that grew and grew.

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!

Allright, you lot...belt up! All this civility will give discussion boards a good reputation and that is just not on. Now, back to your regularly scheduled slagging.

Excellent observation Jerry, I think that attitude found on this board is respect. Respect for the kilt, respect for the tartan, respect for the heritage. The kilt is a kilt whether it is 8 yards or 4, Wool or PV, tartan or solid, traditional or modern, or made in Scotland or elsewhere. The tartan can be old or recent, and solid material is just a tartan of like colours. The heritage is great, whether it be direct or from afar.

I consider it a blessing to have found this board and its members.

I have been fortunate to meet a few of the members on this forum. They are great people to hang out with. Go to kilt nites and you'll see what I mean.

For me its just olde age....

Started boxing at the YMCA at age 8 and continued on through college...added some fencing time too. Loved 1:1 confrontation...graduated to street police work as an over enthusiastic young officer wrestling with unruly drunks... then on to bar fights and finally to "therapeutic" take downs on psychiatric wards until age 57...then hung it up.

Main reason I'm nice and polite (sometimes) at age 61 is that I'm too olde to fight anymore and have to "make nice."

So, for me think its more antiquity than it is the kilt...
