I did not solicit anyone for advice. I shared an experience, with the idea that someone might produce a constructive positive comment. Instead what I got was criticism for something that wasn't even the subject of that post. So, now I'm at the conclusion that there's no point in sharing.
I'm still at a loss for how a little bit of lime peel is so controversial, and the recent replies have continued to become even more insulting by blowing that out of proportion.

From your very first post:

Having spent far too much money on fruity bar drinks that only occasionally satisfied, I decided to try mixing my own Mai Tai after browsing this forum for a few days. I'm posting my results - feel free to comment and criticize because I don't have a test subject to bounce these off of at home.
Asking for criticism is for all intensive purposes, asking for advice
and we don't even have to go into semantics here.
Why do you seem so argumentative? on this subject, history has defined what is an authentic "Mai Tai"
it is not subjective, if you want to do a variation on a Mai Tai, you really need to learn what makes this cocktail so unique
in the first place, then build on the taste profile, but be "advised" you're really just screwing around, which is why you are not making
a real Mai Tai and is why you are evoking harsher criticism by continuing to argue with experts on the subject matter.
