Ideas of just what Kilt really means..

[Big Mikey]

Gentlemen, gentlemen, let's untwist the knickers, take a deep breath and look at this again. As long time members (which we all are), we have seen our share of threads go astray when it came to kilt definitions.

Traditional versus modern, Utilikit brand, etc. have all been discussed and argued ad nauseum.

It is my belief that Sathor was merely offering a suggestion and opinion as to how to avoid future heated discussions while also giving advice to newcomers.

Every member undoubtedly has an opinion on something and is entitled to voice it hear.

To the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a wrong opinion. You either agree or disagree.

If you disagree, make your point as succinctly and sincerely as possible and move on.

Suggestions, opinions and proposals are ideas that are meant to get us thinking. They are not laws that we must adhere to on penalty of death or imprisonment.

They way I read the original post Mikey it was posited as a rule which puts it into that category you say it wasn't. One of the main objects of this forum is that everyone should be able to post their own opinion and it is that give and take which makes the forum so much fun. To suggest that we must use certain rules when describing kilts or what someone wants to call a kilt is patently silly.

We aren't likely to agree. We probably have as many definitions as members.

IMHO a kilt is a pleated wrap around skirt (yes, the S word), but if it's a mens' one it closes on the right (or left over right, however you wish to define the closing), and is somewhere vaguely near knee length.
