"I am appalled to hear any Tiki space would drive out Sven for saying something wasn't Tiki. Surely he meant in the classic sense as he has so defined it as an academic expert. Unless he started insulting people directly, I don't get that kind of behavior at all."

Sven has a small bit of non-tiki in his room like the Barbie diorama scene I think he has in his room so he's no harsh traditional tiki only person, I as well have bits of non-traditional tiki in my space too.

Man, it's just talking about yer views and with Sven it is a more educated view as heck he wrote the book.

But Sven is not a guy that will insult people, he would just walk away as far as what I have seen of him.

If not for other views I for one did not think of this...

"I have no wish to live in the 1950s or 1960s. They sucked for large swaths of people,"

For me the 60s thru the 80s were great! best time ever. So, hearing others gets me to know a different take on many things.

But this time right now is so fragile and so quick to say you offended me to make you a villain and them a victim.

Being a victim today is good, back in my day it was seen as bad.

Ya got to watch every word so close. And many old guys like me did not come up in a time where that was how it was so were not good at this new game of you are the bad guy.

Back when I was young we pushed each other's buttons that was the name of the game, the things we called each other back then would get us kicked out of school for life today.
