I wouldn't be surprised if in the future, historians come to a conclusion that the Quaker Thomas Rawlinson, the true inventor of the Scottish kilt, actually secretly based the kilt on some feminine English skirt. Remember, he wants a Scottish person. He wasn't even Welsh or Irish. He wasn't even Celtic or a Pict. He was an ethnic English man. He was from England.

He wants a Scottish person? I think you mean he wasn't, right?

Yes. My mistake. I mean wasn't.

Whhhaaaat just happened? Got an explosion of trolls in the basement again. Calling some plumbers to suck out the sewage.

... The way the person was framing his arguments over the way Scottish MALES get offended, I think he thought I was a guy. Like, I'm an admin, therefore I must be a guy. Typical. (like, a woman can't be bothered to be offended over an insult to her cultural heritage?)

And it's interesting how it's the remark about the kilt that he defended so hotly for so many words and not the fact that I thought his idea sucked and his writing sucked. Wow, I've never said those words to ANYONE before. But I guess trolls aren't just anyone, they're ... special.
