Woofmutt, I'd like to apologize because earlier I pooh-pooh'ed your call for a separate parallel thread that contained only "un-tiki" images. I did that because at the time I thought the discussions going on here were generally helpful in educating us all on the origins of what we on TC call tiki. The discussions were often off-topic, but I thought generally worth reading as a "value-add" to the images. While I still feel the same way about some of those earlier discussions, I've sadly watched this thread degrade into a childish ego-driven pissing contest. Oftentimes I was in agreement with certain individuals doing the pissing, but the mean-spirited "take that!" tone to the posts often drowned out the message.

Hanford, if I could put a suggestion in the "suggestion box"... please remove the link to this thread from the About page. It no longer serves it intended purpose of showing by example what this site is NOT about. Unless of course you include all the nasty postings, which I believe is also NOT what this site is about. I am now in Woofmutt's camp for wanting an image-only version of this thread, without all the noise. THAT is the thread that should be linked to from the About page.
