I did answer the question.They are the Scots relevant to a.t.r,
from which this is cross-posted.
No you didn't. You answered an entirely different question. I
didn't ask you why it was relevant to a.t.r. Try again.
If they didn't represent the intersection of relevance to both
s.c.s and a.t.r I wouldn't be cross-posting to the two groups.
Explain the relevance to s.c.s.
Already done.
Do you have problems realizing that people relevant to a.t.r
can also be relevant to s.c.s?
Do you have a problem realising you're not welcome in s.c.s ?
That's a remarkably dumb thing to say on a post that's crossposted to
groups where he is welcome.
Given that he's the one who initiated the crosspost to a Scottish
culture group and caused the offence in the first place (and repeatedly
does so each year despite requests for him to stop) perhaps you should
direct your ire at Louis.

Post by Nicholas BenjaminIt's even dumber given the activity level on this list. Today there
have been posts on two issues: this, and one idiot going on about how
he won't do porn. Prior to that all activity has been
non-Scots-related commentary by the no-porn guy and a bunch of stuff
in Spanish that is apparently vaguely related to religion. The last
message that was on-topic prior to this thread was posted on the 12th,
and was a call for all the humans still on the list to go to Facebook.
Firstly, this is not a list, it is a Usenet news group called
soc.culture.scottish. Secondly activity level is irrelevant. Besides
we like it quiet. Thirdly, you are not the one who decides what is
on-topic for the group. The group does that through its charter, FAQ
and custom and practice
Post by Nicholas BenjaminNow if you wanted to use this as a springboard to talk about the
Nobility's role in modern Scotland, or criticize them, or even demand
a Scots-only-list,
Nothing to do with a Scots-only group. This group is for those
interested in Scottish culture, irrespective of nationality. Scotland
has a long military history that is held in high esteem by its people
including the sacrifice made by all who died in the wars. This guy
doesn't even read the group yet insists on crossposting to it every
Armastice Day a post that suggests the only Scots who died in war that
matter and are worth saluting are a few of the priveledged class and
the rest of the Scottish war dead don't even merit a mention. Which
is extremely offensive to the vast majority of Scottish people.
Post by Nicholas BenjaminDemanding the only guy on
this list whose actually talking about shit that is even vaguely
related to Scottish culture shut the fuck up, by cross-posting to
numerous groups where people who like are gonna read it, OTOH, is
dumber then paste.
He's the one who initiated the crosspost. Take it up with him. But just
to putting Scottish culture into context, Robert Burns is the national
poet and to quote him - The rank is but a guinea stamp, the man's the
man for a that. Anyone interested in the nobility know where to find
it. It doesn't need to be, and shouldn't be crossposted to group where
he already knows from previous experience, is unwelcome and causes
offence.
