Well I can't help but think that I am one of those people included
in the description in the first post, as I have been involved in some of those controversies.

I think "Tiki" was & is still today a social activity first & foremost
So my presence here & attitude is of a social nature, I go to events, Shows, Bands, Art openings & Tiki Bars
to enjoy the company of most of you a "wretched hive of scum and villainy." :P

To enjoy Tiki you have to participate in it, And so few TCers do & I am critical of it.
I keep all my "Useless posts" in Bilge exactly where it should be, Remember all, you don't have to go there or read it
unless you want to or can't help yourself, Then it's on your dark souls.

It does bother me that so few of you actually support the Tiki community, A good example is I like
to mention peoples Birthdays & social announcements in the "Ohana" thread, which usually gets maybe 5 to 10 responses
And to someone, many of you know or at least have talked to, That's pretty pathetic.

And to correct some misconceptions, I am not against selling stuff on TC, I just ask that someone have an interest in the Tiki scene
and just not view it as a cash register.

I also along with MDM & Hakalugi am a rabid spam hunter, who likes to keep TC spam free,so if for nothing else, there is that!

I also want to ask the question "What is wrong with some criticism"? I have never seen a bigger bunch of cry babies
when someone interjects a little criticism here. :P

I would like to end this tirade with this, tikiskip you make some damn fine Tiki lamps!
I will now recede into the darkness.............
