PC Kilts

[Scotus]

No, this is not a new type of kilt. I wanted to respond to something Graham posted in the pics forum in regard to why I don't post or visit this forum very much now. Graham wrote, "I have strongly held opinions too, many of us do, but my opinions are not compromised, threatened or changed by accepting that others' have different views."

It's not that I am threatened. My opinions are very firm in believing that some "kilts" that are being worn are not really kilts at all. Now, you'd think we'd be able to have such discussions, but it usually comes down to the more modern "kilt" wearers calling names. Here is an example from a Campbell (WarBird), "That kiltmaker is a moron. End of story."

How can one argue against, "That kiltmaker is a moron," just because they have a different opinion about what a kilt is and is not? I happen to agree with the kiltmaker. Thus, since I don't wish to be called names, I am not inclined to post. "You are a moron" is not an agrument that threatens, as it is not an argument at all.

I don't hold any anger for individuals on this forum, but their does seem to be a lot of political correctness around here.
