Except that BK is an incredible carver and artist and has 14 tons of credibility.

I didn't know you could weigh credibility but I found out just yesterday that you can.

So, in the sense that it's humans jabbing at each other on the internet, then yeah.
But it's more than that. You start black brushing proven artists and saying things like "that's a punk move," to a guy like tiki diablo, you've got problems here.

No matter how much it seems this way in the last year, this isn't a personal blog site for whatever you're doing or thinking.
I say "you" as an encompassing generality of the readership here.

Even the carver forum is getting that way. It's a lot of show and tell and the talented are getting squeezed out of the bandwidth by the kindergarteners.

This thread is just another example of the same thing.
It's even titled "Here's what I think" and there's a place for that and it's called Bilge.

Bring an "A" game.
Or if you're just trying out your chops don't swing the kini kini like you're the baddest on the block.

There are kahunas here already and unless you're bringing gifts, major talent or a canoe load of warriors - then come in humbly or move on to the next island.

I know this place is supposed to be a place of "aloha."
Aloha also means goodbye.
