Being new and still waiting for my first kilt, I don't carry much weight.
1. I see where members of the forum feel a bond and just want to share their experiences. I'd relate it to telling your significant other about how your day went.
2. (This could just be because I'm still a newb and not even wet behind the ears yet.) Being a site to try to promote the wearing of the kilt, people want to share their general day-to-day experiences to encourage others to be comfortable wearing the kilt.

These positive day-to-day posts are great for those like me crawling into wearing a kilt.
I'd personally like to see the negatives with reactions/come backs to be better prepared to handle the situation. I won't lie; I naturally suck at comebacks. There may be several of these posts here and I've just not found them yet as I'm still reading backdated posts. Of course this could be for the fact people are getting more compliments than negative remarks.
