Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.
If you're new to the Cafe, please grab a seat by the potted palm, settle down with a nice big latte, and tell us a little bit about yourself. Please also look here for forum principles and rules.

For sure, reparté and lively discussion can easily be mistaken for criticism.
Many years ago there was a local television program in Chicago called Kup's Corner dedicated to the theme, "The lively art of conversation." This is a wonderful phrase because I, for one, much prefer taking honorable sides and exercising one's brain to mutual admiration societies.
Courage, conviction, nerve, verve, dash, panache, guts, nuts, balls, gall, élan, stones, whatever. Get some and get skirted.
I fail to see where hoborob feels that he unwelcome. I may not agree with everything he has posted but then the same applies to others of you too. I don't think that there has been any disconcerted antagonism towards him. Maybe he has not been courted as much as he would like but then you get the attention proportional to your input and I have had some of my comments ignored as well so that's not unusual. If hoborob does look in maybe he could clarify with some examples, then we can comment further and potentially try an fix any perceived deficiencies. We can't fix what we don't know about.
I believe in offering every assistance short of actual help but then mainly just want to be left to be myself in all my difference and uniqueness.

There is that, but: is it broken?
I really don't think it is.

Sorry you found the cafe disagreeable. I left it for a couple years so I don’t know what contributed to your dismay. A bit of time removed is sometimes helpful to clear the mind and forgive all us miserable curmudgeons. Wishing you a speedy healing process. Take care.
