One person's opinion

[knotty]

I got this from a "friend' last night.

Don't like the kilt thing. Feel like you are just trying to draw attention to yourself, which seems self indulgent and vain. Although maybe you just don't want to deal with buttons. I dunno. I just find it embarrassing and self-indulgent. I am embarrassed to be with you. I don't like that. What is wrong with you? Can't you just be a normal man? So much money wasted on such a stupid thing, in my opinion

If a friend, a genuine one, cannot voice an opinion that runs contrary to yours, then who can? That is life, surely? Respect him/her and the views voiced and get on with doing your own thing.

Whilst I have no wish to stir up a hornets nest,-----I probably will-----, I do think that your friend may have some valid points there, for some kilt wearers of today.

Light blue touch paper and retire to a safe distance.

I find myself (as usual!) in agreement with you here.

It's precisely this sort of thing that keeps me from wearing kilts to church, or to my daughter's graduation today. The focus of these events is on others and the last thing I want to do is dress in a way that will make me be noticed.

Like many pipers I have a bit of an aversion to wearing Highland Dress when I'm not piping. Unlike most pipers, however, I wear Highland Dress to Games when not competing (which gets comments and raised eyebrows from the piping community) and having not owned a suit for decades I wear Highland Dress at those very rare occasions where a suit is required (once every few years).

Not wearing a kikt to mydaughters graduation today either. Same reason.

Sounds like a swell guy...

He can have his opinion, you can have yours. You'll find that many members here have had that happen to them.

[LitTrog]

Reminds me of a sound...you know, the sound a guy makes when he sprays out a big mouthful of water and vinegar...

Keep doing what you're doing.

Can't say I disagree.
