GG, what I see going on, here on the forum, is the Scots responding to people saying wear the kilt any way you want. That probably causes an image, in the minds of the Scots, of the very worst examples; the kilt being worn backwards with a T shirt and Prince Charlie, for example.

Sometimes this can come across as, "I own your kilt because I'm a Scot." I'm only saying it can come across that way.

This causes the "wear it any way you want" folk to respond with their own backlash. And it goes on, and on, and on.

Eventually, this backlashing can make one turn away from the kilt, at least talking about it, because it is just too much trouble. I understand.
