I haven't said anything on this thread til now. (Didn't know it existed til now.) And I don't want to offer any opinions here about what is or isn't tiki because it's all been rehashed SO MANY TIMES. All I want to say is I just don't understand why people who care about tiki deeply and see it as more than just a big care-free islandy party are labelled "rude","snobs","mean-spirited","koolkids","purists" or whatever.
So to those who continually do throw out these labels, are you saying that this board should have no focus at all? It devolves more and more to that each year and those who are trying to keep it together are ridiculed as being [see labels above]. If I had just now discovered Tiki Central, it might not make much of an impression on me. But when I discovered it, it was heavily focused on mid-century Poly Pop and ways to preserve it, celebrate it, live it, etc. THAT'S the Tiki Central that drew me in. Why is it that the people who are trying to keep it on that trajectory are ridiculed? Is there another way they (I) should go about it?
Okay, TikiLale, go for it. It's wide open for ya. Insert your favorite wise-ass comment here: 'islandy'..that's one for the books... thanks for the open shot. :wink:
