Finally....some common sense! Thanks Gecko and Vintagegirl...Being fairly new to Tiki Central and I don't post very often, I feel very fortunate to have found a place where I can go to for a quick fix for my drug of choice. Tiki. Tiki Central has become a place that has been provided for others with the same addiction, to come and share their ideas, thoughts and experiences free of charge. Be it positive or negative. I have read posts that were pretty blatant about how important they thought their contributions were to the Tiki World. I honestly wish I had that sort of confidence. Even though I find those posts boring and tedious to read.(Kinda like this one)! I hope we haven't gotten to a point where we have to police every word we type,out of fear of offending others. How boring is that! I love reading posts where there are several different points of the view. There is NO WAY you can control what a person walks away with after reading what you have posted. TikiGardner is so right about the visual cues we give to help convey the emotions that go along with our words we choose to use. Leaving plenty of room for being misinterpreted by the reader. Smiley faces just don't cut it. Sorry Mr.Smiley. Bottom line if you can't take it, maybe you should put it in your, a'hem (water pipe) king okolele mug, and smoke it! - toodles!
