Kind of slow through the Weekend - General Tiki

I mean, there's Tiki Punch (tm) for christ's sake! (Which, btw, tastes like sht, if you didn't already know). So maybe you've all just run out of stuff to talk about, in other words. I'm new to tiki central, but I;ve been using Buletin boards, list serves, and chat rooms long enough to notice that certain patterns always emerge: Group starts out with good intentions. People are excited and actually post thing s that other group members are actually interested in. Not long thereafter, messages are posted about politics and/or religion. Differences of opinion emerge. Childish name-calling erupts. Some members, seeing how stupid their fellow members are, start typing the most offensive shit they can b/c they know it will really piss people and be really funny. Several members complain "F** this, I'm leaving!" and start their own group. Cycle repeats until members realize that this process is inevitable on the internet. However, if you feel that not enough interesting things are being said, I'm new here, and have lots to say. Let the posting begin. Trader Rick Santa Barbara, CA
