Your right, it is not. A kilt is however recognised as a form of national dress. Because of that, you should recognise it represents more to some people than a way to thumb their nose at the establishment or to let their privates hang free. I'm not a kilt snob because I think everyone should dress more formally, I'm a kilt snob because the kilt means something to me. It represents my history, my heritage and my family.

Many people wear a kilt for no reason other that they like it. That is fine, I don't have a problem with it. I only have a problem when they thumb their noses at those for whom the kilt has more meaning. If someone wants to wear a dirty wrinkled UK or an AK half way their backside with a Bud Light shirt and sandals I don't care because it doesn't mean anything to me, but if you do the same with traditional kilt (or anything that passes for one) yes it bothers me. I doesn't mean I am going to call my congressman and ask them to legislate against it but in a forum where someone asks a question I am gong to answer honestly.

I understand the wearing of a kilt as an anti-establishment statement for many on the forum. I don't agree with it but I respect it. All I'm asking is while you might not agree with those who feel there is more meaning to a kilt you at least understand and respect that view.
