I think it's a little late for a private discussion, especially given the fact that you were so careful to publicly reply to every one of my posts on every social media channel you could find. I'm blocking you now.

I would have been delighted to take my post down and provide you with the requested information had I been approached via DM. However, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to please refrain from commenting further here. I'm a busy professional, and I have no more time for this conversation.

That said, I would have appreciated the opportunity to discuss this with you privately instead of navigating your public anger for someone else's violation of your IP. I was only trying to participate in the spirit of your endeavour, and I was excited to find a way to do that.

I understand your desire to preserve your IP. This is an important issue to me as well, and my work has also been extensively plagiarized by people who created knock-off versions of my scholarship and passed it off as their own. So I respect your frustration, and I'm sorry this is happening.

Thank you for sending me this email. I didn't receive it, and I don't have it in my junk mail. However, I do appreciate that a member of your staff took the time to respond, and I do appreciate the considerable effort you must have taken to find the correspondence for me.

I wish you the very best of luck pursuing your trademark and copyright claim with Etsy retailers, and I'll be certain to buy tartan products exclusively from Witches of Scotland suppliers as soon as they're made available for all of us who want to wear them.

Hello Claire, and thank you for writing. I wrote to you via the Witches of Scotland website some time ago and asked if you'd be making a non-wool version of this tartan, as I wanted to purchase it from you but cannot wear wool. I never received a reply, so I bought non-wool fabric elsewhere.

This is really helpful! Thank you so much!

I should confess something here. This isn't wool from the tartan designers. I can't wear wool, so I ordered non-wool fabric from an Etsy weaver. I wrote to the tartan designers first to ask if they planned to weave a non-wool fabric, and I'll certainly buy more fabric from them if they ever do.

I have three yards, so enough for a garment. I don't often wear skirts, but I was thinking of a long, pleated, tartan skirt like the photo I've attached. I could dress it up with a black blazer and wear it when I deliver papers and workshops.

Hello! I’m a bit late to the party, but I was hoping you’d add my story to your list. It’s here: dailytomorrow.substack.com/p/a-mouth-fu...
