Maybe just delete the whole post? ( like some in the past)

There's a few reasons I'm not deleting it:

  1. I try really hard not to remove people's words from this site. You guys put a lot of effort into posting here, and I think that's worth something (regardless of the actual content). (Every) forum's members should feel like when they post something, it's not in danger in poof disappearing on a whim because the site owner decided it so.

  2. Not that this applied much to this topic, but it's not my job to remove people's feet from their mouths. That goes for both for "visitors" as well as TC regulars. To do so is to just hide someone's true character from the other members of the site.

  3. In this particular post I want to walk a particular line here: Yeah there was some harshness that was not in the spirit of the "be nice" rule but at the same time, it was clear this user was not going to fit in on Tiki Central, his kind of tiki is not the kind we focus on here, and so this kinda just nipped it all in the bud. I would still prefer if people firmly but politely pointed new users like this to the About page and insist that it's not the site for them.

It reiterate: I removed the links and images on this page because the site owner asked me to, not for any other reason.

Mahalo to everyone.
