No, it shouldn't. It has a place here. If I want to talk about Don Ho in the same breath as Tiki Farm, the Mai Kai, and Tiki Bob would the purists like Big Bro prefer I go to another site? No, that seems like a fair discussion to have here. The important thing is to discuss Hawaiiana in proper context, from a point of understanding of how it links in with Tiki, rather than from the angle of indifference, or ignorance. Look closely and you'll find all sorts of talk of Hawaiiana from the strict interpetationists on this site. And the reason I added our Mission Statement to the site was to make not about one person's personal taste against another. The mission statement is pretty clear about what we're focused on. I consider any questions you have about what may or may not fall under that mission statement to be "blurry-edge" content.
