The only way this is true is if you consider yourself to be your own "powers that be", Bong.

Even if these 2 Grand Members here did not stick to the Code, they at least tried. That's more than can be said for you. The 2 Grand Members you're capping on here didn't bail out when they saw they're actually going to be asked to do something in return and (gasp!) have some decorum in their posts. They agreed that paying 24 bucks didn't give them the right to trash the place.

Remember I didn't deny your membership, in fact I welcome your membership in open arms. But I simply said that all Grand Members agree to the Code, and you're free to paypal me any amount of money anytime if you didn't want to agree. You were the one who chose not to. You were the one who decided that that was too much to asked of Bong.

You claim you "don't give the F#CK", but at the same time your signature says "hey I paid 24 bucks". It's obvious to me you want some sort of reconition for your donation.

Well anyone can pay 24 bucks ... but being a Grand Member is more than that. The Code of Conduct is an attempt at helping fix what's wrong with Tiki Central these days; things that I've heard you complain about. If you don't want to agree to it, that's fine. But that was your choice, you weren't denied it.

I'm starting to wonder if it's worth putting up with your posts, man.
