Update on Nathan Warmak

As anti-traditionalist as I am, I still value their input, because sometimes I try to modify tradition rather than spit in the face of it.

I hope this isn't meant as a personal insult to all of the traditionalists on the board -- bit harsh, I think "non-traditionalist" would be better. I'm not "anti-nontraditionalist" or "anti-modern", those trends are not right for me, but they may be for others -- It's not my place to judge others. Certainly not enough to be "anti-" anything.

I'm sorry if I seem a bit defensive, but we "traditionalists" seem to take it on the chin sometimes.

Regards,

Todd

Maybe non-traditionalist would have been a better choice, my point was that I refuse to toe the line when there is a "prescibed" way of doing things, and this attitude extends to many parts of my life, not just where kilts are invoved. The term was intended to describe my attitude toward tradition, not the traditionalist. I'm sorry I didn't make that clearer.

Very good. I certainly understand and respect your individuality. Ironically, those of us who are "traditionalists" today in our society are now the "non-conformists". I believe one can respect tradition and be an individual.

Thanks for the clarification! ;)
