If you look at no. 1 you will notice that I did not specify what "Like" means. If you like your Tartan because it has the same name as you do then that is the one you "Like". If it is meaningful to you then that is what I intend.
I have never implied that "Like" was limited to nice colors.
I'm very sorry if my post upset you. I was simply trying to get people over the "There must only be one Tartan that I am authorized to wear" sort of thinking.
Even someone who does officially belong to a Scottish Clan has regional Tartans, Corporate Tartans, and fashion Tartans still to choose from if they wish.
Even the Clan Named Tartans have variability. The Modern version, Ancient Version, Dress Version, Hunting Version, Weathered Version. All of these can be the exact same Tartan.
The colors of the same Tartan may also be different with different weavers.
If you bring all this into the thinking then you are really down to which colors do I like better?
So I worded my tongue in cheek "Rules" to say only like. It seemed the safest word at the time.
Again, I'm sorry if I offended.
