Now I grant you that there are ways of passing on helpful information to assist the new kilt wearer without putting him off and some of us do try with varying amounts of success. However "Redshank" ,me and others do despair at the" looking good" type comment when it is patently obvious that they don't!

The frustration that "Redshank" has just shown is frankly, quite understandable. The only way to get the message across is plain speaking and be known for it, and any one who has read "Redshank's" posts knows full well that he is more than helpful to anyone who needs it, courteous and honest! Nevertheless he is quite correct to point out the dangers of the false praise that haunts this website.
I agree. I get so frustrated when I see a reply to a post, that is so obviously wrong. How many times have we seen a reply saying 'Well Done' or 'Good Job' or 'Wear it Well', when the OP has delivered bad news or a complaint about a kilt or services. I sometimes wonder if members post purely to boost their post count.
