    Like I've always said, white socks just don't make it with a kilt, no matter how smart the rest of one's turn out may be.

    And, if you're going to wear your sock scrunched down, forget the flashes!

    This has stirred up some controversy on kilt/manskirt forums over here in Europe. I can't helping thinking its guys like this who do a lot of harm to our cause, his "kilt" is way too short to be worn regimental, and one has to wonder why he was loitering around near schools. Although he is wearing a skirt rather than a kilt, the worrying thing about this media coverage is that readers could think all kilt wearers are the same, especially those of us who wear non-trad styles and solid colours. Though I can't help but feel a bit sorry for the guy that he feels so sad and lonely that he has a need to loiter around other people's families.

    This has got nothing to do with kilt wearing and shouldn't even talked about in the same breath.

    Readers who would think all kilt wearers are the the same are probably the type of folk who would think this anyway without an article like this.

    Emotionally or psychologically disturbed individuals often talk, or behave, or dress in ways that are outside the norms of the general society. Cross dressing, in and of itself, may (or may not) be a sign of a deeper emotional or psychological disturbance. Given the circumstances of Mr. Triggers arrest (dressed like a school girl while loitering across the street from a school) I would think that describing him as a "disturbed" individual is a fair assessment of his mental condition. You, of course, may disagree.

    This is supposed to be a forum about kilts, not the potential dangers of an older man, dressed as a school girl while loitering at the local school playground, who may (or may not) develop into a full-blown child molester. Perhaps this thread has run its course?

    I would say hanging around a school that you don't have business being near is a kilt don't.
