PunaWeb is at it's best when people share their Hawaiian experiences with aloha, helping each other, educating each other, even just playing silly sometimes.
PunaWeb is at it's worst when egos dominate, and the sharing, helping, and educating turn to preaching and provincialism, with a smattering of intolerance thrown in.
This is your website, Rob, and I understand that it exists (or not) at your pleasure, and in the manner of your choosing. If I don't like your rules of Puna-centric civil discourse, I certainly don't have to return. Nobody is pointing a gun at my head to force me to read what's written here.
Still, I keep tuning in, because on balance, the better part of PunaWeb shines through most of the time.
Aloha! ;-)

Punaweb is very informative, for people living here or thinking of moving to Puna. Covers many areas, plus you can research older topics using the search link. The wealth of knowledge this website contains is incredible, but we lose sight of this because of all the bickering (that is putting it nicely) going on.
I recommend Punaweb to many people who have questions about different subjects, with a warning, most people are very helpful, but occasionally you will run into some hostility, just don't let that turn you off. It is good website.
People deserve to be treated with respect, given the benefit of the doubt, just be plain courteous to each other goes a long way!

Rob, thank you, your vision of Punaweb turned it into a reality, it will be our loss if you ever decided to close it down!
