Well, "you snooze, you lose." 
No disrespect intended, but seriously, don't you think this is just a little disingenuous? (I'm asking...)
Who is doing all this name calling? Who has been called a Kilt Kop and by whom? When did this ever happen? Can anybody provide a link?
I don't have as many posts as you do but I've been here as long or longer (maybe I just spend more time listening). Everyone seriously involved in this thread, and others going on simultaneously, almost tacitly acknowledge the problem. Matt Newsome postulated a scenario in which the protagonist was accosted by "kilt police." Matt didn't question either the concept or the name calling.
Even the title of this thread...
I myself have seen name calling and the bandying about of "kilt police" to cut short a discussion or characterize other members as somehow not "right thinking" (unlike the rest of us
) over and over again. As recently as several months ago in a discussion I was involved in and where it was used against me...or someone like me.
And I spoke up against it then as I have done since I joined here.
I think there is too much complaining about things that don't exist.
Or too little about things that do.
But then, again, maybe I'm just paying more attention.
