I tried to sign up for that site and the verification email hasn't come yet after a few hours. Hmm, I think someone is running scared...
He had a number of different boards he trolled on a regular basis (not just veg*n ones), so he was/is? devoting quite a bit of time to it.

Exactly. It takes some thick skin and dedication to hold your ground when everyone disagrees with you.Tame was entertaining. [...] He prevented the site from becoming an echo chamber, and that's a good thing.
Yes, absolutely. I think this is a culture thing though, not something we can just decide, unfortunately. We do have a couple of different-thinking members, it's just that they prefer not to argue so much due to experiences with "pile ons" and some instances of unkind words.IMO, if VV wants to become a decent site, it should encourage diversity of beliefs. Sure, everyone should support veg*nism, but outside of that filter, lets get some people who don't think like we do.
Are those VV members that are bitching still active on this site??
Personally I wouldn't be too bothered if people were talking crap about me on another board. Nothing much I can do about it, and I don't see how it would affect me in any way. In fact I was a bit disappointed that my name was not mentioned! (Are you sure Annia, did you search the whole board???! Surely I must have rubbed someone the wrong way at some point? Maybe I'm just too darn polite.)
Btw, let's not forget there is crap talking going on in this thread about someone on another board.
I think that people who post on GB sometimes tend to forget that what they post isn't hidden from the world - it doesn't exactly take mad internetz skills to see what's posted without having to go through the rigamarole of logging in. For instance, a certain VV member has informed Tame that this thread was started.

I think a bunch of us should join there and talk crap about you. I for one think you are waaaaaay too polite.Personally I wouldn't be too bothered if people were talking crap about me on another board.
