Well said Jamie.
I can't believe how worked up people get over a piece of clothing. Yes, it's got a history and guidelines and I am thankful that people like Todd, Jock, Matt, etc are able to educate me on those guidelines. However, like all clothing, I will wear it as a prefer.
I do think the "kilt police" name calling needs to end. If someone is trying politely to educate the board, and they aren't trying to cram it down people's throats, than others should be a tad more respectful of that lesson and shared knowledge without name calling. By all means bear the advise in mind when picking out their personal choice of wardrobe even if you don't let it dictate how you like to dress. No one is saying this is how you have to dress they are just saying that traditionally this is how it is done.
Now, maybe this group of men in skirts can stop getting their feeling hurt and arguing like a bunch of teenager girls.
