Ghillie brogues, yes or no?

[DWFII]

Mmmm; We're all a bit edgy on this thread me thinks.

It's vital that we use this medium to discuss and disagree where appropriate otherwise we'll all just be blowing smoke up each others hinterland.

Kilt on Gents and lets exchange ideas and opinions with each other but lets not fight over it or take the huff. There's no slight or intentional insult here. We're all mates in the kilt. I'd like to think we are anyway.

I don't see that...maybe my skin is too thick. But let me offer this counter-point...

If we start with the notion that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion...and that a discussion forum is a place where those opinions may be shared or just expressed, then as long as they are couched in what is important or relevant to that individual, I don't see how anyone can take offense.

Hamish related how he felt about ghillie brogues. If we respect him (or anyone else, for that matter) we have to respect his opinion and his right to it. And we have to respect everyone else's right to hear it.

As long as he is not calling people names or characterizing or denigrating their opinions or feelings, where's the harm? Where's the foul?

I'm no moderator and I'm not trying to make policy...if I'm wrong I request that the moderators let me know. But that's my take on it.
