I said no fighting on my thread, man. The time has come for all of us to bury petty squabbles. Our community is way too small for that.

Bullsnot! I'm from Philly where we keep snowballs in the freezer all year.

But seriously, all families have squabbles, Bill. It's how they solve problems or shed light on inequities.

One should think our community is way to small for deviously organized PM campaigns against other members.

I waited almost an year to see what kind of grit San Diego's organized choppers were made of.

Would they silently go along with the suggested banning of a fellow carver who's been into tiki all his life, owns a ten year old tiki shop (where Otto used to send little packages of Tiki News to sell over the counter! Those were the days!)...

or would they be outraged as most normal people of conscience, and do something about it?

They seem such nice folks when I encounter them elsewhere, Talented carvers every one. I genuinely want to like them.

Perhaps they are doing something about it right now.

Perhaps I shall hold my breath a little longer...
