I think we need to look at my progression of messages before accusing me of noob-bashing. I was polite and complimentary in my first message about AT's initial post. In my 2nd I said I personally found it distasteful (fully within my rights to comment on publicly posted art) and I thought the subject matter was inappropriate for Tiki Central, and Hanford agrees. Then AT felt the need to say "If it offends you, good." That, to me, puts him in the "asshole" corner. I thought I was quite clear in saying that there are plenty of places he can go post his non-tiki art, but when someone just wants to be a jerk for the sake of being a jerk, well, there's no stopping them.

AT, you showed your true colors quickly. Keep it up and we'll get to that eventual ending I mentioned earlier. That you apparently need to stomp on others' work, whether you know them or not, for the purposes of pumping up your own sorry self says a lot about you. And I'm not sure where you get off bashing my so-called "religious hang-ups". I don't have any, but if I did, your dumbass statement would be even more offensive. I'm not the one who posted a painting of their "dogmatic bullshit".

I've wasted too much time in the past arguing with fucknuts like you, so I'm done. You can bitch and moan and degrade and call names all you want - go crazy! And in a few days or weeks, we'll never have to hear from a sorry-ass loser like yourself again. Bye!

Kono: I am all for artists, new or old, posting their tiki art here. To say that there's some concerted effort to "bash all noobs" here is ridiculous. It's when they cop that defiant, "I'm an artist man! Worship me!!!" attitude that they need a bitch-slap. They need to upset and disrupt through their art, which is a completely valid form of expression, just not on Tiki Central.
