I think there is a point of departure between those who think of the kilt as Scottish national dress and those who think of it as simply a fashion statement or sign of rebellion and non-conformity. The latter are more likely to talk about the how the kilt is "comfortable," will go on and on about trouser oppression, and wear "kilt-like" garments I wouldn't personally consider to be "kilts." Somehow, we all manage to get along in this forum for the most part, for which I'm thankful. 
In the former group, you will find those seek to know the "rules," so that they can wear Scottish attire properly; that is, to honor the tradition from which this attire comes. This group, as I am in this group, is more likely to be wearing the kilt for reasons of culture rather than rebellion from a culture or norm.
As far as the motto, "Rules are meant to broken," whoever came up with that silly phrase doesn't live in my world.
