Our discussions with the Maori go well beyond what you will likely ever know, and we know we are not stepping on any toes here.

I think what Gman intended to mean was Dragon would never know the levels of discussion that TC carvers have about maori tikis, not that he has a closer relationship with maori tikis than Dragon ever will. I think Gman was in part reacting to Dragon's initial post, when she posted when she had not read the entire thread. So without fully reading threads she would never get this full understanding of how TCers discuss maori tikis.

Your later ones are definately more Maori, took me a while to get through the bulk of these forums....sheesh

But, the PM was poorly worded and thus easily misintrepreted. Especially when read by someone already annoyed.

Under NO circumstances should anyone post threats or abuse. Its in the rules:

2. Be polite. Please refrain from insults and name-calling. Be polite even if someone is insulting you or someone else "started it". If someone is really bothering you, then U-Mod or contact us, but be polite.
3. Never threaten (seriously or jokingly) anyone with violence. Doing so may cause you to be banned from Tiki Central.

The coolest tiki art is not bought on ebay, it comes personally from my fellow artists on TC
