i am a lurker here, but spent the time yesterday reading through the 20 plus pages of this thread.

a couple of comments and then i will go back to lurker status.

1. in order to fulfill the requirements of bigbrotikis and Tangaroas definition of tiki, tiki central should cancel the advertising of all companies that advertise on tiki central because they are selling "untiki" things that do not fit into bigbrotikis and Tangaroas strict view of tiki.

2. companies that advertise on tiki central should consider cancelling their advertising here. if you listen to bigbrotiki and Tangaroa (and a few others) you are not welcome here.

3. the remarks in this forum by one member "Tangaroa" were very insulting, deragatory, mean and uncalled for. ecspecially his vile sliming yesterday.
   according to the rules at tiki central:
   "Be polite. Please refrain from insults and name-calling. Be polite even if someone is insulting you or someone else "started it"."

tangaroa seriously violated those rules many times in this thread.

4. if i were an carver, painter, or mug maker (which i am not andenvy all with the talent and courage to make and exhibit their art) i would seriously consider not posting at tiki central any more.

bigbrotiki (what an appropriate name - big brother) and his hatchettboy Tangaroa have announced their jihad against anything that does not fit their strict definition of tiki. (bigbrotiki wants to start an "untiki" thread to warn us all of something that doesn´t fit his little idea of tiki art.)
perhaps someone should start up a new website for artists to show their tiki art and not have to worry about the witchhunt here at tiki central by bigbrotiki and Tangaroa against anything that does not meet their litmus test for tiki art. at anytime you could be subjected to the immature, unfair and unwarranted ranting that tangaroa did yesterday against a tiki central artist.

now i will go back to lurking.
