Hop over to

http://www.kiltmen.com/forums/cgi-bin/kiltmen.pl

and you'll get a good feel for what Don's asking about.

It's really only an issue to a few of the guys over there.

I would like to quickly remind everyone that as we try to be respectful to each other, we need to be respectfully to those who participate on other kilt forums. As cajunscot often says, "different horses for different courses".

Cheers

Wow, I had no idea there was a problem. I haven't heard a word about Kiltmen since I joined X-marks.

That's too bad if they don't like us. I like them....

There are several different kilt sites out there. They all have different leanings. The one thing we all share is a crazy love of the kilt.

In my book the more people out there wearing kilts (modern or traditional or both) in a postive way, the better.

For all;

Hi. I am a throw back to my Highland forefathers. I've been kilted since 1967 (got my first kilt at age Four) I own and wear proudly five Kilts,two in my Clan Tartans Ancient Bruce and Ancient Broad Red Urquhart, one in USMC, one in Stillwater Nightstalker, and one Amerikilt forrest. I teach domestic violence intervention two times a week , raise horses for stout men, married with two children,five horses, four dog ,four cats , twenty odd chickens,Fifteen pheasants, several geese,abunch of rabbits, and a few other assorted farm animals to many to list. I spent six years active USMC. Been a jack of all trades and a master of some of them.Worked for CDF as a dozer operator 16yr, and currently work as a manager, just promoted, in the propane industry. I am an avid outdoors man ,hunt, fish, pack trip into the Rockys and Sierras on horse back.
I am Not trying to step on toes here. Seems that there are a lot of hurt feelings between people on this site and those on Bravehearts. As far as the RULES go why do you limit yourselves? IE: guns etc. I carry while hunting in a kilt and that is related .

**Dreadbelly** · 24th March 07, 05:06 PM

We need rules because people like me need stop signs.

As far as I know, there was never a problem between here and Bravehearts.

**beloitpiper** · 24th March 07, 05:07 PM

Limit ourselves? I find that the rules keep the forums focused on kilts. I strongly agree with the rules, and think that if you don't like the rules, there's plenty of other kilt forums out there, like Kiltmen.

We're not forcing people to do anything. Just go with what you like. If X-marks doesn't float your boat, then check out a different site. Simple as that.

Why is this issue even being brought up? If this is a personal thing, then shouldn't it be kept personal?

a warm welcome from HollySprings mississippi,

i dont think the rules are ment as limits i think if you read the FQA page it can clear up that for you , here is a quote from there
(Please remember that this is a family friendly forum. Members should remember this board is aimed at an audience of all ages.)

**Blu (Ontario)** · 24th March 07, 05:16 PM

I've already responded to this thread on the Kiltmen website and no one has responded to my comments.

This ?feud? seems to be more of a gripe session among former Xmarks folks over at Kiltmen.com.

People there are free to discuss whatever issues that board permits.

I guess they're doing just that.

Don,

As far as I am aware of there really isn't any hostility between X Marks the Scot and Bravehearts forums. I believe Bravehearts is older and that X Marks was formed from some people who were originally from the Bravehearts but wanted a separate solely kilt oriented forum. As far as I know there are X Markers who are also Bravehearts (or vice versa). There might be individuals who have issues with one site or the other, but as far as the Forums go there isn't a feud.

I would ask , as a new member, that you read the Policies/FAQ section. Rules, by definition, are a set of limitations. The ones in place here are to keep this Forum (as I mentioned before) a positive, informative, fun, and family friendly site.

Again, Welcome to X Marks

Cheers
