The cliff notes version is that Mrs Pineapple tried to get PockyTiki kicked off by complaining about PokeyTiki's age and that she was worried about his underage drinking among other things. I pointed out to say whatever she wants but to be nice doing it, that she posted less about Tiki than Pockytiki had, I used the F-Word a few times, and that's when she left. I did send her an appology for being harsh with her, but I didn't appreciate her false consern for pockytiki's hypothical drinking problem. She never replied to me, so I assumed she was done with it all.
Thank you for everyone who's stuck it out on TC when it's been tough.
A lot of people see his time here as a benchmark. The problem with Pocky Tiki wasn't that he was young, talentless and clueless or "overly enthusiastic". The problem was that there WERE people who tried to coach him, on tiki, on net etiquete, and how things operate on TC. He was completely uninterested in listening to anyone who wasn't telling him how kewl his erasers were, and he stated that to anyone who tried. That's when people got mean. Search the archives. There have been and still are plenty of people who don't get tiki, post their crap, and are completely open to being educated. They don't incite the reaction Pocky did, and the truth is, Pocky needed a time out and what happened instead was Mom and Dad telling the big kids to shut the f*ck up and play nice. And I mean that literally. That is when a lot of the RIGHT people left. I may have never contributed much to any thread other than the music thread in Beyond Tiki, but I never wasted anybody's time with crap, I supported the artists on this board with my wallet, and I never pissed anyone off at any events. I don't post here anymore, because I was told I didn't contribute anything, and it's true. But don't re-write history. This board disinigrated to U-Mod mediocracy because it was allowed to.
