I don't think that just because we all share an intrest in tiki that we should all kiss each other's asses. But what is the point of posting a topic when you get responses like this: On 2008-06-12 12:14, dogbytes wrote: funny, we were discussing this very same decline on Amish Central! there's a bleak picture towards the future of "Amish" That picture shows that eventually "Amish" as we know it, will only live on in the basements and backyards of us "BonnetHeads." At current I would say, that picture is slowing becoming true with the almost constant loss of such classic Amishi icons like the Horse and Buggy Room in Intercourse, PA. There also seems to be a sense of impending doom, that I think is growing in that whenever someone recommends a Amishbar or restaurant they do so with an attitude of; "get there while it lasts!" Is it possible to bring back the buttonless clothing? damn those who endorse eye and hooks and zippers. What would it take to bring SHUNNING back? How many bearded men (and women) would be enough? 25%, 50%, 75%? honest to fucking god, use the search feature, you've been here a whopping 4 months, and obviously didnt bother reading the big yellow warning: Tiki Central has over 11,000 topics! Before posting, please use our Search page. Your post probably fits best in an existing topic instead of a new one. You can click here to post a new topic If you're confident your topic has not already been discussed. This is obviously someone who responded to just be hateful. Someone who is obviously just a member of this forum to have fun pouncing on new members (and from what I hear from other new memebers this type of response is quite common). So, I'm not dropping out just because I felt offended. I'll probably still lurk around but, what is the point in posting serious topics and asking questions when you get treated like this? BTW: For what is worth I've asked twice to have this thread locked or deleted.
