LOL Me, too.

Yes, that is Tame Iti. He is a Maori Radical. A land activist, who wants to get land back from the early days of colonisation. Interesting that he is a vegan.

This. I actually looked at the calendar when I read this.

For "newer" members not familiar with the origins of this community, Tame is a person of VB fame (or perhaps infamy). He rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, yet he managed to be appointed moderator and stay in that position for years. Eventually they had to "let him go". But he came back in several incarnations, one more hilarious than the other. He also briefly had an account here. (Might still have another account, who knows.)

Well, it was good for a lot of *clicks*.

Got me, too! I was talking to my husband about Tame just last night. The memories...

I thought we all agreed not to bring up things about the "other" board.

Because if this is an invitation to start talking.....

I thought hell had frozen over for a minute there.

Eh, it's a delicate balancing act. Once in a blue moon surely won't hurt.

As long as you don't invoke it too many times in a row, and it comes bursting through your screen to get you.

Ah yes, I remember hearing something about him being a moderator then turned away from vegetarianism, if I remember correctly. However, I think he was before my time, so I don't know of him personally. This thread helps clarify who he is. Thanks.

Nice to see he hasn't completely given up on veg*nism. Anyone notice he has some wicked face tats?

 

[kazyeeqen]

Hmm... Maybe more clarity is in order...

The tame of VB fame was never veg, and probably never will be. The Tame of this article is a different person, a Maori activist (thus the tats). That was Indian Summer's little joke.

Tame was basically a troll who was way too comfortable with his ability to troll and literally carried it out for years. I'm glad he was gone before I joined that community.

A troll that helped increase post count..which is really good for a site's visibility.

I hear he's mod at some other site. What's the name of the site?

He was never really gone from that community. He started new accounts all the time, and is probably still there, lurking in the shadows.
