This thread, and the one on underkilts, brought me to check out Tom's cafe (thanks for the links, Colin). I surfed around a bit over there and, at least on the threads to which Colin linked, I thought the Tom's cafe crowd to be much more belligerent and strident in forcing their opinions on the kiltwearers than vice-versa. I can say with all honesty that if the Cafe were the only forum open to me as a kilted gentleman, I would blithely go about my life and not miss them a bit, something that wouldn't be true about Xmarks.

Bryan...notice I didn't mention the kilt/skirt issue, because it had no bearing on my statements...
