    No, what those guys need to do is get a kilt! They're just frustrated because they're stuck in the dogma that keeps them in pants. Their jealousy should've been apparent. They don't need anger, only patience and a little pity. They'll be kilted in about 4-6 years.

    Of course, when they are, they'll still be jerks, probably. Instead of roaring with laughter at your kilt, they'll be set off by your clan or your sporran or something. ("LEATHER sporran?! HA HA HA!! That guy can't even get a f***ing fur sporran!!")

    Oh, and a working car. That's what those guys need. If their car had been in working order, they never would've met you ... and, likely, never would've vented their frustrations at you, either.

    Phil, it was clearly a very unnearving experience. You did well, both for your personal safety (not a small thing) and also as a decent human being. At the end of the day, a more violent reaction on your part would have placed you right at their level. And the reason you won't go find them with a bunch of kilted friends? You are above that. I say, well done, though very unpleasant.

    When you're not part of the herd or pack...you're a threat. They have no mind of their own...they just try to protect the herd. It's almost cute...better not try to feed them :rolleyes:
