My views are just as valid as yours, EVEN if they differ, agreed. But that means that neither is more correct than the other.
Your tone is interestingly British, IMHO. Which seems to be down-the-nose-with-a-stiff-upper-lip-esque. Huh. How dare I, good man, precisely?
Have you lived in America? Do you have family or ancestors that emigrated to other countries? Do your personal views take into account other countries? Maybe my very defensiveness is do to the criticism of those with no dog in the fight?
I am not going to apologize because I disagree, even if you demand others to see your point of view.
The kilt, and the wearing of, exists even "outwith" the borders of Scotland, because many Scots took their heritage with them when they left, for whichever reason, regardless of what you think is proper, or not. Who are YOU to tell my late Scottish great-grandfather who chose to wear his kilt "outwith" your cute rules? If he wasn't past, I'd dare you to tell him what is or isn't proper!
Seems to me that a proper Scot should be very proud that a fellow Scot, or distant Scot, should be proud of their heritage and ancestry to wear traditional garb. A better approach would be to gently guide others into the most correct wear, but ultimately, the choice is theirs to make.
Even if they choose to wear the pleats in the front!
