Shag prints for sale (not ebay) - Collecting Tiki

I was disgusted by this thread. There have been a lot of complaints from the TC members accusing people posting in the collecting tiki forum of spamming. Isn't the point of this forum to let everyone know what tiki merchandise is available out there and where you can get it? I personally welcome anyone who selling anything tiki related or knows about anything that's available in the marketplace to let me know so I can decide if I want it and what I'm willing to pay for it. I've noticed TC members hammering anyone who posts a tiki related item that they have for sale in this forum and giving them the old "spamming" speach. If an item is posted that you are not interestred in just let it go. Someone on the board might want it. We are supposed to be a community with a common interest and should welcome others with the same interest or related items they have for sale. I'm sure a lot of lurkers out there just give up when they see all the negative posts that hit the board. I personally have been lurking for over a year and have found lot's of good tiki items as a result of this board. I never posted because of the negativity and politics involved with the board. I signed up and posted so I could meet TC members at Trader Vic's in Atlanta when the thread was started and had a great time. I think everyone should lighten up and make this a positive environment for anyone with an interest in tiki or selling something tiki. I know the purpose of a forum is to voice your opinion, but why spread negativity if it isn't necessary. If you don't want something posted in this forum or you think it's too expensive then don't buy it. I'm sure someone out there would like it and be willing to pay what the seller is asking. Just my 2 cents. Mahalo
