The Kilt's use in Irish Nationalism

[Blackrose87]

Sorry for this thread becoming politic. I had read about the kilt use in Irish nationalism, and thought people here would be able to pont me to some more information regarding it.
With this topic, I suppose it is hard not to stray into politics. So I'm sorry if I went off-topic or offended anyone in anyway. This was not my intention.

Thank you for your understanding Blackrose87,

Remember that it is not that you offended someone. This forum has been around for nine years now. In that time we have found that some topics always seem to go bad. Politics and Religion are just two.

The strength of this forum is that we keep our focus on the kilt. There are many other forums on the web where you can discuss all those other topics. Many of our members are also members of many forums. When they want to talk about the kilt they come here.

We know and understand that the kilt is a narrow topic of discussion. But it is our strength that we have kept true to the original dream of our founder and kept our focus on our chosen subject.

I don't think you need to apologise for anything. It is a potential hot topic, for sure, which must have had the mods twitching from the start, but as far as I can see we have all stuck to historical facts and without being overly partisan-----yes points of view have been courteously, fairly and properly aired ----- or objectionable in any way. I think personally that this thread, so far, is a gold standard in how to discuss a tricky and interesting subject on a website.
