Should Tiki Central be

Yes we get it but there's a kinder, more diplomatic way to do it than just off-handedly telling people to like it or lump it, making anyone feel unwanted. And that was some way to offer "a suggestion" as you put it! Your answer to tikiskip was tone-deaf. Read it again. While I will allow that maybe it's not what you might have "meant", but it definitely reads as rude. Writing online requires extra care not to appear tactless. Tone is very, very hard to convey. Now in my own case it was never explained to me how my posts ACTUALLY contravened rules either, just some vague accusations of "misinformation" which I vigorously maintain they were not, (or being a "dick" as you like to so often put it), and then you went and changed the very mechanics of this site to hide them altogether so other members could agree or not. No appeal? Discussion of electric cars is NOT "political" BTW. They are being promoted in ALL developed countries and regardless of which side is in power....in fact often by both sides. The following is only a suggestion: Don't have a "Bilge" designated forum for "unrelated" stuff (i.e. NON-Tiki?) if you only welcome discussion of Tiki as you claim. And are then you are going to stamp out anything that's posted in it for being non-Tiki....or a "conspiracy theory/misinformation" only in YOUR PERSONAL view. (Didn't see any mention of there being a King Tiki when I enlisted.) Example: the question was posed: "Should Tiki be Politically Correct", then you posted a sticky above all and declare "YES". Clearly your manifesto of authority on any further discussion or differing views? So why not just delete everything under your post then? You have the power....
