    Perhaps time for another poll Jamie I'm thinking that I'm seeing a winner in the midst.

    Shouldn't "It's not a skirt" be the battle cry? I'm for "In Kilted Fellowship" too.

    Be well,

    Be well,
    Ahh yes, Your right. It makes far better battle cry. We will scream it at the tops of our lungs as we go into to battle against the soldiers of trouser tyranny. Along with, "THIS IS XMARKS!"

    I really like the sound of "In Kilts, Fellowship" better than "In Kilted Fellowship." Given that the concept is to create a motto for our neo-clan, I think it better expresses the idea that our common interest in the kilt has drawn us together, and created a new bond between us. Also to me it sounds more clan motto-ish.

    Best regards,

    I agree completely. The concept of fellowship isn't wearing a kilt, so it's not kilted. "In Kilts Fellowship" has a nicely archaic ring to it. Adding a comma for modern punctuation sensibilities makes it, "In Kilts, Fellowship."

    I still think our battle cry should be "Kiss my pleats!"

    I don't know, it just doesn't seem very welcoming to me. It comes across as too confrontational. I would think we want something showing unity, which will make people want to find out who we are and what we are about. We also want something that will make them want to be a part of our "clan".

    Edit, that's just my two bits. I tend to agree with Phil that by the time everyone agrees the motto will be neutered to fit everyone's sensitivities.

    This is for the Battle Cry, not the Motto!!
