Ladies and Gentlemen, Lads and Lasses:

I started this thread in the Traditional Kilts section for a reason. I wanted to discuss cost and encourage those who wanted to save for a traditional kilt to do so, rather than continuing to buy cheaper ones "in the meantime." That is, save your money. I have a right to my opinion.

While I understand the natural tendency for the contemporary kilt crowd to come over to the Traditional Kilts section to laud and magnify the virtues of the contemporary or less expensive kilts, I think this is a temptation that should have been avoided.

Not once have I gone to the Contemporary & Non-Traditional Kilts section of this forum in order to laud and magnify the glories of the traditional kilt, as I know that isn't the place for it. When someone brings up a discussion in that section of the forum, I know it's not the General Kilt Talk section and that anything I might want to say in regard to the quality of traditional kilts, as opposed to contemporary kits, would be inappropriate and best left unsaid. When someone posts in that section about Utilikilts or USA kilts, etc., I don't make posts that say, "You should not buy those. Instead, you should buy a traditional kilt for the following reasons..." That would be rude.

No matter how many times I've repeated this, it has gone unheeded. I'm sorry if my original post wasn't clear enough. I don't think it was a provocative post; at least it wasn't meant to be. I'm a plain spoken Midwesterner. Again, I posted in this section so that people would know it wasn't the place to post on what they liked about non-traditional, contemporary or less expensive kilts. Alas, I guess some people simply want to argue and get their point across no matter what.

I shall say no more and post no longer in this thread.
