Please keep to the context which is still kilts and one particular person's views about them.
The trouble is, this particular person's rather extreme views about kilts, and a ton of other stuff, are motivated by his extreme fundamentalist religious views. Views inspired by his interpretation of the King James Bible. Taking any viewpoint to extremes can have varying results, the same books that inspire a lifetime of service to others to some, can inspire someone else to blow something up. In this Stewart guy's case, his version inspires an annoying website.
I'm not trying pick on anyone, or promote anything, but this thread has motored along for 10 pages with many posters quoting the KJ bible or other holy works, and/or expressing their personal religious viewpoints. And like it or not, these discussions are still a taciturn promotion of those views. People talking about their faiths doesn't bother me at all, but I find it a little ironic that the concerns about "slippery slopes" and violating rule #5 only pop up after somebody talks about their lack of faith, and makes statements that relate to atheism. And believe me, there are posts by "non believers" on the first page, it's just that they generally don't "promote" their lack of belief.
