First off, as operator of Tiki Central I want to say everyone is welcome here regardless of their opinions of Buffett (or any other music). I hate getting teased about my taste in music, and I don't want anyone to feel bad about it. But I do want to point out that after reading many of the anti-Buffett comments that have come up, I've never thought it was anything more than, say, how Giants fans bag on the Dodgers (or a fan of any team bagging on a rival team). It's teasing, it's smack-talking, and indeed it's quite passionate. But it's not religion or politics. I don't think "two friends divided by their opinions of Buffett" will ever be the plot of a movie-of-the-week. If it's gone too far than I appologize on Tiki Central's behalf, although from what I read of it, I don't think it has. I guess to some die-hard Buffett fans it could sting, but I just saw it as discussion of a musician, nothing more or less. Buffett conversation is such a small part of what goes on here, it would be a shame to lose a member over it. ~Hanford [ Edited by: hanford_lemoore on 2003-04-26 02:43 ]
