What are we allowed to post in this section?

[Nathan]

"All the threads you recently moved had sat there happily for over a year undisturbed."

This is not strictly true. The Jacket thread that was moved to the Accessories section was originally posted on the 14th of Oct. It was moved on the 16th of Oct.

The Tradition and Change thread was originally posted on the 4th of Nov. and moved to General Kilt Talk on the 6th of Nov.


In total there were only four threads moved. Each was about something other than the kilt. The "For Jock" thread was about a Tartan covered chair.

You're right, the timeline was slightly off, I should have double checked before saying that. While I don't know what the "For Jock" thread is, I think getting into a back and forth about what was moved is a distraction, so I'll just post them here so that we all know what we're talking about.

Leaving aside the Tradition and Change thread which I wrote after these all moved, erroneously thinking I understood what you were telling me by moving threads, there were 6 before that one moved from the Traditional sub-forum.

All of these threads moved in the same night, October 3, 2014. The first six were posted in the traditional sub-forum because I, as the OP, was asking specifically about how the tradition views certain choices.

And 7, originally posted on September 8th 2014 (one month) if you count this one which I posted in historical to find out where the show diverged from actual historical garb and wanted input from highland garment history experts more than from pop culture fans.

I asked, "To those who are very versed in the textiles of the era, how does the show do? Is it spot on or Hollywood Brigadoonery?"

So if none of these threads asking for a traditional perspective on Highland attire, nor the tradition and change thread pass muster I have two questions.

1) Where should I ask a question that I only want traditional feedback on? and,

2) Can you provide examples of topics that would be germane here?

Incidentally, I don't want a war. I want to continue to be a resource and pass along what I have learned to others that are interested in hearing about it. I'm here to help and I'm not sure why the potential new user has to be made to feel welcome at all costs, but a loyal contributing member who buys from advertisers can be discarded without a second thought.
