    Ugly Bear,
    Based on your objectives, I can see your point of view. My only real thought about it may be that calling people out or bashing the "sometimes- wear" people may actually put them off from becoming a more regular kilt wearer. I know that personally I do not respond to intimidation (not saying you are doing that at all) and usually rebel against that or follow another path in spite. So while your intentions may be innocent, some people may be too sensitive. From reading your posts the last few years, I know that you are like me in that I call a spade a spade and have very little time for beating around the bush. Some people just aren't use to this form of persuasion these days.

    Some people may be leaning on the "I'm gonna wear my kilt more" cusp, but than may be start to feel unworthy based on comments against the traditional kilt attire or events. In my opinion, if people want to get used to the kilt through traditional Scottish events before taking the plunge and wearing it to work, to the pub, etc...I am completely cool with that. We all adjust at our own pace.

    Good luck with your objective of making the kilt an viable alternative by 2012, that's a good goal.
