The Kilt Kops

[Taygrd]

Thank you, Steve, for posting this. However, before we start singing KumBaYah, let me go down to the bottom of the pronouncement and I think, the heart of the matter:



This is what I think the real problem is - not that there are some who tell us the right way to wear the kilt or what is proper with the kilt, but Do You Have The RIGHT To Wear The Kilt. (Raphael and Father Bill and Cowher have mentioned the harm of this dictum.)

There are those on this forum who think there are people who do not have the right to wear the kilt, based on their pedigree. Little squabbles over hose color and kilt length are minor fashion decisions, but to be told that you are not worthy to wear the kilt because of your ancestors, this is my version of the true Kilten Polizei.

I think you may need to explain yourself a little further. Mr. Ashton said:
"Of course we will sometimes disagree among ourselves but when someone outside of our community attempts to tell a member that they are wrong or cannot wear the kilt we band together in support. "
You placed the emphasis in the wrong place IMHO.
To show whow some thing can be taken out of context I will give you an example from you own post:
You use the term "Kilten Polizei" (German reference), is this some sort of reference that traditionalist are facist or worse. Are you refering to the dark days of Germany and lumping traditionalist along with that timeframe and mindset?
Yes we were all singing KumBaYah and seemed to have reached an understanding of our misunderstanding so how could such a reference possibly help the issue?
