Amen Chuck, that is my main concern. I don't think anyone is saying that it should be anything goes when it comes to posting, but that's no excuse to be rude, dismissive or down right abusive. There very well may be folks that have a hell of a lot to contribute on this board but don't appreciate the all too typical abuse some throw from the safety of their keyboards. Above and beyond being childish and cowardly, it's also completely counter productive. If a user (be them new or old) is straying from the intended focus of this board, they can be informed of that without ridiculous schoolyard behavior. I'm all for keeping the focus of this board on track, but too often the way it's carried out just turns a current user into a lurker. I think we have enough negativity in our lives without having to find it here. Besides THAT attitude is distinctly not tiki. Tiki is neither elitist or exclusionary, maybe this board can consider that when deciding what is or isn't tiki.
