[Semiomniscient]

See it all the time at games, and it bothers me not at all. I save my disgust for things that matter, intolerance for instance.

Your disgusting is someone else's fun. Live and let live.

Best regards,

I think a discussion forum is a good place to discuss matters of proper wearing of Scottish attire. I did suggest the blurring of the face to allow for anonymity. And I can see where this can get derisive and lose the constructive spirit in which this was originally posted.

The thing is, this outfit is disastrous on many levels. We wouldn't really bat an eye if we made fun of some odd fashion style on the run-way. But this is a bit different as it appears to be done out of ignorance rather than "making a statement". In which case, criticism of it appears as a personal attack.

A lot of people, myself included, feel attached to the kilt, and strive very hard to make it acceptable in the general community. We seek to educate the public in many of our societies. When we see others making the kilt look foolish, we believe we ought to speak up and educate. This can be done tactfully or poorly. There will always be both. So the idea of "live and let live" doesn't always sit well with others.
