I too have received numerous tongue lashings for my "crappy" finds over the years. Take it with a grain of salt. Many in the tiki community are very passionate about what is /isn't tasteful tiki (tasteful??) and don't convey the right attitude in what they type. There's a nice way to say you "don't like it," no matter how crappy you think it is. I've noticed many of the newer TC'ers are immediately turned off by one person's negative comments and decide the whole community is that way and then disappear completely. I can tell you that's definitely not the case. Others will badmouth the person that badmouthed them. I say choose your battles and know that some people will just type whatever pops into their head. Having said all that, I just painted all my brown tikis yellow, red and green, I'm drinking a pink mai tai while listening to Jimmy Buffett. Anyone got a problem with that?? :P [ Edited by: Kenike 2008-01-13 17:31 ] |
