It's not that one can't enjoy Buffet and Tiki Culture, only that Tiki Culture is not Buffet. The original poster seemed to imply they thought that we were of the Parrot Head persuasion and they were set straight. I think we tolerate the Buffet fans, we just don't tolerate them screaming "Margaritaville!" in our tiki bars. We have the right to define our little culture here. It isn't Buffet, though some of it's adherents enjoy that music. I think if someone brought some sort of Rastafari post in here and made the same sort of "Great, a bunch of cool mahn's" we'd set them straight too. Though, maybe not as roughly. Buffet is a sore spot for many a tiki-phile.
