Wearing another clans Tartan?

[Tobus]

1. I don't agree with "If you personally don't feel comfortable wearing another clan's tartan, don't. If you do, go ahead." I think it's wrong and don't want people who aren't affiliated with my clan wearing our tartan.

The distinction here is that while I don't think someone should wear the venerated symbology of another clan, you don' think they should be seen wearing it. I don't know if it's baggage, but that is clearly where we differ.

OK, fair enough. But I'd like to ask you a question, if I may. Taking your two statements above, it appears that you have attached a moral judgment to it (viz. "I think it's wrong"). What exactly makes it wrong when there is no element of misrepresentation? How can it be wrong to privately put on a coloured piece of cloth with no malintent?

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Similarly, if someone dons a clan tartan and no one is around to be offended, is any wrong committed?
