Squawker,
I may be off, and others can correct me, but I think what is at the heart of the Buffett issue is that people get upset when tiki and Parrothead get lumped together, as if they were the same thing. Some folks here might not like Jimmy, others love him, but I think most would agree that there is a distinction to be made. I don't think there is anyone here who is "anti-Buffett" in the sense someone is anti-war, we just want to retain the distinct identity of what constitutes tiki, and don't like to see the lines blurred. As Hanford mentioned, all are welcome here! We just have a topic (tiki) we like to adhere to, and we like to discuss what is or isn't tiki. There have been many other discussions on what is or isn't tiki, but that doesn't make anyone "anti-African art" or "anti-steel drums".

My two swizzle sticks worth.
