To clarify I never once claimed to be offended by their name. I did however point out far in advance that there was going to be some confusion, AND sure enough there was. Dealing with the dozens of messages I received yesterday from people about their outrage (NOT MINE) theirs! I don't control what other people do, say ,or think nor am I interested in doing so. I stayed out of the bitch fest about it completely because I said what I had to say which was- "it sounds similar and there is already some confusion". a truth not an opinion. I name products ALL THE TIME and I do enough research to see if I'm going to pick something thats completely unique not "sounds like" something that already exists. so I actually have a valid point and I could see this coming. why? because I'm not 5 I couldn't care less about DIY gravel craft kits. it has absolutely nothing to do with me. I am not the one perpetuating the problem. BUT>>> they're the ones who posted publicly on FB that "no one in the tiki scene has ever heard of me" a direct quote. I actually am well within my rights to illustrate exactly who I am and what my history in the tiki scene is. The fact that you felt it necessary to "correct" me just shows how the issue, that I did not create, is being perpetuated and that some people are making their own negative assumptions about how I personally feel about it. Like many things that start out as a single issue- NAME SOUNDS SIMILAR- they evolve to a multi-layered problem- bashing me,,,,,, which actually calls for me to say something in my defense. do you comprehend now? I think you are confusing sarcasm and mocking with actual anger. The way this played out on FB wasn't my doing. I'm not an instigator, But I will relentlessly mock some stupidity. etsy.com/sophistatiki. Everything from my newest line- Castaway Cravats to prints of my Tiki Magazine Cover.
