I went to bed angry last night thinking about the original post and the people that supported it.

When I think traditional and only-traditional artist here at TC, I can only think of BK. You don't know who is reading up on tikis in books and you said "taboo, the art of tiki" Of all books, I don't know if there is even an traditional piece of work in there. I will check later.

Since you are the only traditional, one which could be a better word for non-growth , you are telling all the rest of the people here to stop being themselves and to be you (for the most part) What you do is what most south pacific people have done for many generations with tools that are more primitive than yours, like rocks.

Maybe you are telling people to take more time on their stuff cause its inferior.

You wanted people to post less positive encouragement in exchange for a stronger criticism. since yesterday you have committed on a couple of people's work that is not traditional and you only gave them encouragement and didn't help them to improve. It would seem that you felt guilty for yesterday and are doing what you said not to.

I guess the problem that I have today is wondering if you still believe what you wrote yesterday. If you don't think you were wrong when writing it yesterday, then you are wrong in your actions of posting sugar today. I had a higher respect for you and your thoughts are lowering you in my eyes- Better you then the rest of all of us here. If you are wrong say you are
