Some more do's and don'ts on the board

[caig]

I have looked at this thread and also looked at Paul's thread in which he wanted advice on what to wear to a casual ceilidh in Scotland tonight. I was quite dismayed to see several members from abroad giving him advice on what to wear. The advice they gave seems to be what a kilt-wearer in their own country would wear. The advice was plainly wrong. It took Jock Scot to point out that no jacket was required, for example.

There is a tendency on this site, I think, for people who really do not know what they are doing , to give advice when clearly such advice is wrong. And this is especially true when the advice comes from abroad to a Scot about kilt wearing !

Wow! I thought Redshanks, to a certain extent was just being facetious!

I was taught that if you have nothing nice, or constructive, to say, say nothing. The folks that post here take their look seriously and in my opinion don't want the standard "oooh braw laddie"bit. Everybody has very valid points. Most lurk a good bit before posting, so know the timbre of this forum, and I hope want and expect constructive criticism!

If I look like a total peacock, or worse complete git, I want to know before I step out the door, and that would be the reason I post, not to collect perfunctory attaboys.

Wow, take that provincials! Geography! Something else to consider when asking for or offering fashion advice.
