I've been told off by people who thought that as a German I ought to do German 
folk dances and leave Scottish country dancing to the Scots. Unfortunately 
that was back when I was young and easily impressed and unable to reduce them 
to a small heap of smoking ashes like I would today ;^)

There are ignorant bigots everywhere. However, as far as I can tell they do 
not speak for the Society or the SCD community at large – and for d#$% sure 
they do not speak for me.
