Why does Mr Goldstraw insist he is Knighted when he is clearly not
under the Laws of England and Scotland. Did HM confer a Knighthood on
him? Since when did membership of what appears to be a mere
'masonic' (and I use that term loosely, no offence to members of the
fraternity) order allude to Knighthood.
I find it distubring how Goldstraw and Plowman seem to dominate the
groups here, same as they do on the HSS boards and back one another up
to the hilt, no matter what rubbish Goldstraw is currently spewing
forth. Goldstraw's claim to a TD was clearly an abuse of the Heraldic
traditions of Scotland and an attempt to make himself appear of the
peerage. He is in reality no better than anyone else.
As has been already stated of him by another and it's worth quoting:
"Mr Goldstraw has assumed a TD on the basis of a now worthless piece
of paper referred to as a "superiority" and changed his name to
reflect that in a sort of DIY approach in order, he hopes, to
challenge Lord Lyon's refusal to approve his self-assumed TD in an
appeal the Court of Session. For this reason, as he has stated
himself, it is essential that he uses his new name with its assumed TD
at all times. He can therefore not be compared to anyone with a real
TD and it is absurd for you to pretend otherwise."
Regardless of this he assumes an air or superiority and attempts with
the help of Plowman (who backs him to the hilt) to run anyone off the
HSS who does not agree with him or dares to make a comment. I
consider neither of those two to be gentlemen and I find it extremely
ironic that they (both being Englishman) dominate the HSS and put this
down to crass commercialisation. Do not be fooled by this comedy duo
act.
I urge any true Scottish Armgier to withdraw from the HSS since in no
way does it, or those two, represent Scottish Heraldry.
