So I take a peak once more before I head out for the day, and I just want to say this- We are supposed to be "celebrating classic and modern Polynesian Pop". I'm assuming that includes the spirit and feeling its supposed to invoke. I don't see much of that going on here.

We are a community with shared interests and as with any board, there are a few individuals that seen to be more prominent than others. Not neccessarily a bad thing. BUT, this type of behavior is not what TC is about. Yes I'm a long tome lurker, but that gave me a chance to get a feel for the community and what I can offer. What I can offer here is this-

When a member asks a question he thought was a legitimate and as a result gets run off the board, do think there's a problem here? Do we as members owe it to each other to treat each other with respect, new and old alike? This is a "community board", not a "community of a few" board. We should all be allowed to make mistakes once in a while!

it's your loss if you want to bail because one thread in the thousands of threads here offends you....tiki central is a wealth of information and as long as you treat it that way it's a great resource......if you look at tiki central as if it's some sort of club where we are all supposed to get along just because we share a common interest in tiki ..... well, adios!!

for a long time lurker i'm suprised that when you finally decide to chime in, it's about making a fuss over one lousy thread.....you obviously have little to contribute if this is all ya got.....maybe if you were more involved and shared more of your tiki experience/collection with those of us here you wouldn't feel like such an outsider......

and again....there are many threads here i have no interest in...but i don't cry about it...i just don't bother viewing them....if you don't like something you see...don't look at it!!!....what do you gain by making a big "exit scene", expecting folks to feel bad cause the person with 4 posts is leaving us for good????
