You have to understand that you are not privy to all the complaints that Hanford has to field and respond and react to. Bong has created a lot of work for Hanford. A lot of ruffled feathers to smooth out. Hanford has put up with this, and has asked Bong to be a bit more considerate. Bong has said he would. Bong has broken his word to Hanford over and over and over again. Damn straight I don't like this. I think this is bullcrap. But it's a mistake to think this is bullcrap of Hanford's making. I'll have to agree with Humuhumu. I've never met Bong and don't have a personal opinion one way or the other. I do agree that he contributes a lot of good info to the site. I think we need to be aware that TC is here because of Hanford. It's his vision, hard work, and money (along with Grand Member dues now) that gives us this place to meet and discuss Tiki. Hanford pretty much let's TC self moderate and doesn't involve himself in forum politics, flame wars or in-fighting. I appreciate that and have to asume that this post is his way of trying to accomodate Bong but let him know where the boundries are. I think we should all just post within the rules and boundries that TC's creator has set forth and that it's members influence through the u-moderate function. Again, Bong has never done anything to upset or offend me personally and he does provide valuable information to TC, but I will back Hanford on any decision he makes for TC. We all make up the tiki community, but when we are in someone's house (TC), we should follow the rules of the house and be respectful of the house's owner...and the rules here at TC are just too simple not to follow.
