With time more diverse kilt wearing

[DrewO]

So far, Drew, folks have remained relatively civil to each other in this thread. As of this point, there's no real reason to "squash it" yet.

Perhaps it has been "relatively civil", but it still comes down to people arguing over what's right and wrong, proper or not.

It's been done before and goes nowhere. Just because A doesn't like B's kilt or what C wears with his doesn't mean any of it is or wrong, just different. To have any back and forth about it is nonsense and the thread should be closed. If people choose to bicker, they can do it in PM.

I'm hardly an interweb pacifist, it just takes away from what is otherwise agreat forum.

Drew,

I'll be happy to submit your suggestion to the other mods for review; you're always welcome to do the same as a PM or report a post/thread if you feel it violates forum rules somehow.

Regards,

But I think what it boils down to is this point: Had the English not been so brutal in trying to take away the Scottish Heritage that kilts would have become much more versatile than formal.

I think you could easily argue if that hadn't happened the kilt would have likely gone the way of the leine, and the modern kilt would have never taken off at all.

I respect your point but, as with any thread, I'm not aware anyone is required to take part in the discussion if they don't wish to do so.
