Where do all the kilties go?!

[macwilkin]

I think some in this thread are being a bit unfair. Isn't Xmarks supposed to be a place for all kilt-wearers, even those who do not wear their kilts on a regular basis?

I do not wear a kilt on an everyday basis; I wear it for functions of Scottish organizations of which I am a member. I suppose that makes me a "weekend warrior" in some people's eyes, but in the words of the poem The Little Red God:

Wear the garments he likes to wear,
Never dreaming that people stare;

One of our former moderators used to say, whenever this topic pop up, that without the "weekend wallaces" that only wore their kilts for special occasions, there would be no full-time kilt wearers.

If we're going to demand the general public accept the kilt as a normal garment, then shouldn't we do the same for those who choose not to wear their kilt on a regular basis?

Respect is a two-way street.
