Disrespected in my own yard.

I've run into that before too. Some people are very ethnocentric. I you don't share their heritage, you are just a barbarian. It is just proof that the white man does not have a lock on being small minded, you will find that in every hue.

I get that a lot here too. I have found if you are comfortable and sure of yourself it tends to get a reaction from people who are not.

You can legislate neither intelligence, understanding, nor decency. That's why we come together here in a world where we can give one-another virtual support.

Hang tough & kilt on!

Sounds like an awesome outfit to me!

Yeah, but it's easy to do that when you have a PBR in one hand and a Garand in the other.

At least you have the satisfaction of knowing you were dealing with a disrespectful person when she aimed criticism at your wife's cultivation methods and not only at your kilt.

Bravo, and well said.......I live in Oklahoma and when asked about any kilting that I may be doing, my normal response is "I'm of Scottish decent, and I like wearing a kilt because it's a tribal"...Every one (here) understands, and simple smiles, and nods in consent, and understanding.

In this opinion, "naturally angry" people find "creative ways" to become hair-trigger angry about even obtuse things, let alone those currently relevant.

Furthermore, the more angry the person, the more likely they are to act / strike out at others because they choose not to contain their anger, but rather make goofs of themselves, expressing their life-discontent by targeting the context of the current situation.

Her coming to your home and then demeaning things as divergent as the owner's garment and horticulture...

...reminds this writer of an auld colloquialism; "This woman really had a case of the a**."

Be glad her grafitti and vandalism on your property was verbal rather than visual.

Any comment on my part would be pale by what Hawk said. I can/would not apologize for this woman said as it is on her.
Our peoples at one time long ago were very well receiving of others eg. spruce/cedar teas to help the French with scurvy or with sharing food as in Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims as a few example.
It does not excuse disrespectful behavior ever. I am sure that she is very angry/resentful/jealous and in her own spirit in a much worse place than Richrail feels being disrespected in his abode.
As far as our self identity as the People it is common enough for all of us It is (spelling will vary) ongweongwe (the people),
hodeneshone (people of the long house), kahienkehaga (peolpe of the flint).
Again I, we commiserate with Richrail, and offer when we next meet a sup of liquid sunshine.
