This was a great statement and I think we should return to it. I have seen way too many complaints on Facebook about how much they miss this place but that it has at times been ruined by a vocal few who:
P.S. Ben IS funny. But he is one of a kind. You will never be able to emulate him. |

Well SuperEight I don't think we have actually met, have we? I don't know what your gender is so I will just say use some man balls or lady balls You are perfectly entitled to criticize & hate my jokes etc. but you sure seem to have alot of pent up hostility for me why would you let it bother you so much? it is just words on a website, nothing else. my only criticism of your comments though are this, your PC crap is just that, crap. |

Watch out! All that tiki negativity you see on facbook may one day rub off on you. I caught my negativity during the great "What is Tiki" TC debate of 2007. Maybe you should find some new friends in your circle who aren't so negative? They might be the problem-instead of a bunch of people you don't know. Buzzy Out! |

Very cool! I have one similar, but a few years older that belonged to my grandmother. After we move in April, I plan on digging it out and using it often for some fruity, slushy style drinks. Lord knows I could use them. [ Edited by: Miss Hell 2013-02-01 09:36 ] |

This looks like a great opportunity for some elitist old-timer inside-joke shorthand... MOP-ROMP! I think some people don't visit TC very often anymore because they are busy. Some people are turned off by the repetition. Some people are turned off by the fact that some people are turned off by the repetition. Some people are turned off by the fact that some people have to post about being turned off by the people who are turned off by the repetition. Some people aren't sure why they feel compelled to reply to a thread like this on one of their less frequent visits to the site. I can't imagine who that might be. There is absolutely nothing disagreeable about the premise of common courtesy. But I guess there's also a broader gripe about THE STATE OF TC. This thread has prompted echoes of that gripe expressed with varying degrees of civility, which raises the question: When talking about the people who are NOT kinder or gentler, is it necessary to be kind or gentle, or is that a special exception where we can freely insult them? -Randy |

so funny! I was wondering! I thought I was my own thread killer. But seriously thats onre of the biggest reasons I've tapered off posting on TC , all I ever get is crickets. Since art is really the only vaiid contribution I can make here if there are no responses, than whats the point. I cause way more trouble over on FB than I do here. |

I just have to add one more thing about perceived nice behavior and civility. For all the peeps that are in my approximate age group (I guess we are gen x), its been my observation that sarcasm is the hallmark of our generation. Sarcasm / snarky comments and jokes are almost always misinterpreted unless you actually know the person in real life. |

Well I think the lesson we learned today is: Tiki is a harsh Mistress, then you die! Tikiskip, how come you learned to bite your tongue (even though it hurts like a sona-ma-bitch) Dawn just check your thread hits to see all the TCers taking a gander at your werks,I really like Big K, you just keep doing what your doing and one day you will get that BB Gun for Xmas!

I completely agree JOHN-O. I've never seen any reference to trash talking TC, or mention of it in general myself either. And the cat pictures aren't all mine. Only some.
That's very true, but when sarcasm/snarky comments and jokes are constantly posted and derailing threads, it gets a little tedious. |

John O- There is a group on FB called "Tiki" and there are a lot of Tiki Central folks on there. Artists, carvers and tiki lovers that most of us know or have heard of. No cat posts there. No one was 'bashing' TC but the attitude was such that they won't go there anymore. This discourages me because I like this tiki community and want it to thrive. ATP- Don't assume any of this is directed at you. It wasn't. All- Its good to talk it out. Tiki therapy. I hope to see some of you at Mojave Oasis. Now pick up yer Mai Tai and DRINK! |

Well said! That's my main concern. Hell, if folks want to behave like steaming piles of dung, I couldn't care less, but it can have a negative effect on the community as well as this site. How many people might have contributed a whole lot more had they not just gotten fed up with 10th grade smack talk? While some is actually funny and I'm sure intended to be so, a lot is just pathetic and fueled by internet anonymity. I don't know if it's so much a matter of who can take it or not, so much as it's often "why bother". Life's simply too short to tolerate childish annoyances. There's a reason grown folks don't hang out with 7th graders. Why tolerate adolescent annoyances when there are simply far better, more fruitful things to do with your time. The sad fact is that most of what this community has to offer in terms of historic materials, information and research can be of benefit whether you contribute or not. That being said it certainly behooves those that care for this site to do our best to give folks a reason to contribute rather than simply a compelling reason to just lurk. |

Dead Horse y'say? hmmm... if the accepted contemporary meaning runs along the lines of - no, don't see any of that. Or, the older meaning of - battling away at a lost cause... no, can't detect any of that either, things seem to be proceeding quite smoothly Soooo, no, no dead horses here. p.s. does ones overriding desire to be polite amount to a weakness? |

"p.s. does ones overriding desire to be polite amount to a weakness?" I would say no, often it simply amounts to having grown up. I have a tendency to call people dumba$$ (including myself). However, I do so only with those folks that know me well enough to know it is not malicious, but rather light-hearted silliness. The same usually goes for my sarcasm. I'm the most sarcastic smart a$$ person you could meet, but there is a time and place for everything. Folks that don't know me are unlikely to be treated in this manner simply because I don't know them well enough yet. There are a lot of behaviors we accept from our friends that could end badly if we received that same treatment from a stranger. It's not just a matter of consideration, but also a matter of perspective. Interesting discussion any way you slice it.. |
