Sure, maybe some of us were too patient, and maybe some of us were not patient enough, but do you really see his time here as some sort of benchmark? A lot of people see his time here as a benchmark. The problem with Pocky Tiki wasn't that he was young, talentless and clueless or "overly enthusiastic". The problem was that there WERE people who tried to coach him, on tiki, on net etiquete, and how things operate on TC. He was completely uninterested in listening to anyone who wasn't telling him how kewl his erasers were, and he stated that to anyone who tried. That's when people got mean. Search the archives. There have been and still are plenty of people who don't get tiki, post their crap, and are completely open to being educated. They don't incite the reaction Pocky did, and the truth is, Pocky needed a time out and what happened instead was Mom and Dad telling the big kids to shut the f*ck up and play nice. And I mean that literally. That is when a lot of the RIGHT people left. I may have never contributed much to any thread other than the music thread in Beyond Tiki, but I never wasted anybody's time with crap, I supported the artists on this board with my wallet, and I never pissed anyone off at any events. I don't post here anymore, because I was told I didn't contribute anything, and it's true. But don't re-write history. This board disinigrated to U-Mod mediocracy because it was allowed to. EDIT - I'm adding an image of un-tiki-ness, I don't want to be remembered as someone who had nothing to contribute to the discussion and just derailed threads with jackassery. Also - the term LYNCH MOB is really offensive. It denigrates and diminishes a painful era in American History and in the interest in keeping TC PC, please stop using it. It's a little over the top. cheerios! [ Edited by: mrs. pineapple 2006-08-08 14:11 ]
