OK, Allan, I apologize, you know what you're talking about more than I do here. But yes, people will find every way to be offended if they want to be offended. That's kinda part of what I wanted to say, hence my reading too much into it.

I agree with Tattie 100%. It's amazing when the piper stops piping and the crowd sings without the pipe or a singer leading them on, because they don't need either of them. At that point FoS is just beautiful, though I sort of wish Ronnie would sing it again (he just sings as one of the crowd now, apparently), and it's so sad that Roy never got to lead the crowd in singing the song he wrote himself. At least he got to see them singing it in 1990, he was supposedly smiling all the way through!
