All I'm saying is that if folks want the general public to accept kilts and kilt-wearing, perhaps we should extend that to others as well.

I wasn't trying to be unaccepting. I just found the dislocation between his shirt and bifucated lower half amusing, and thought my fellow XMarkers would also. There are any number of not amusing, perfectly innocent explanations, his kilt suffered some grievous tragedy just that morning, and he didn't have a replacement with him in the hotel, etc and so forth. Still doesn't lessen the incongruity.
