    Exclamation Shocking Kilt haters

    I was surfing the web today looking for Top Tens and I found one called "Top 10 reasons why I won’t wear a Kilt." http://www.renaissancefestival.com/c...TOPIC_ID=20888

    "Inspired by Mad Jack Wolfe’s Reason #25381 why I don't wear a kilt.

    10) No matter what you call it or the historical significances in 2008 it’s a skirt.

    9) I like skirts... but not on men....

    8) Biting insects.

    7) I live in Minnesota. We have two season Mosquito and –40.

    6) I am not Scottish or Irish.

    5) Trying to sit like a lady when you’re a dude.

    4) There are too many “flamboyant” looking Fest pictures of me already, add a kilt and…...oh good grief...

    3) Cougar kilt checkers.

    2) Chuck Norris told me not too.

    1) The Frog Hopper incident!

    All in fun...."

    It would appear that this list inspired some responses that were rather in favor of the kilt.

    Being that it was generated from a Renaissance Faire group one must take the things they say and write with a bit of a sense of humor (because goodness knows Ren Faire Folk do).

    Let's keep it lighthearted folks.

    Cheers

    As a moderator on the site in question, I think the thread was handled appropriately, the poster in question reiterated why it was he personally wasn't going to wear a kilt, and also stated later that the intent of the original list was not to point out why others are wrong in wearing it.

    Just something to keep in mind before folks get too up in arms.

    Cheers
