"Kilt Don't"s vs. Anonymous Namecalling
While I understand that a list of "proper" highland dress suggestions (sometimes accompanied by member submitted photos) can be helpful and sometimes including a list of things to avoid can also be helpful, is it really necessary to post pictures of anonymous third parties for the sole purpose of making fun of them when a member feels that person serves as a "bad example"?
If we need visual indications of "kilt don't"s, why don't some of the members concerned with such things take a picture of themselves, their own spouse or family members, etc. demonstrating a faux pas and then a "correct" picture demonstrating how to correct the issue for side-by-side comparison?
I'm not sure if there are any legal issues involved with taking pictures of anonymous strangers without their consent for the purpose of posting them online without their consent for the purpose of ridiculing them behind their backs, but it doesn't seem like a very mature or "family friendly" thing to do either way.
This has come up multiple times in the very recent past and, at least in my opinion, it seems that it should be possible to present a functional list of "kilt don't"s without doing so at the expense of others.
This isn't very sporting behavior and, frankly, I'm surprised the forum rules don't directly address the topic.
