Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 The events of recent days has definitly left a bad taste in my mouth. I no longer feel comfortable in this group and it has caused me to reflect and ponder why. Mainly, I am here for veg stuff, not politics or diet stuff. I have not unsubsribed, merely gone no mail. I will wait a few weeks and then check back in and see what the tone of the group is then... and make my final decision. It is sad how a handful of people can take over a list, the ones that have been posting the most recently. I hope that you all enjoy yourselves... If there is anyone else out there on the list who is contemplating leaving, please let me know. I doubt that I am alone. Genie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 You want recipe exchange? I posted recipes. Did you? You want dicussion about vegetarian topics? I had several friendly exchanges with others here about those yesterday. Did you? Bottom line is you must also be the change you wish to see. Twice you have posted complaint and yet done nothing positive toward what you say you desire in this group. Merry part and I wish you well. ~ P_T ~ Without darkness there are no dreams. ~ Karla Kuban, novelist ~~~*~~~*~~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> , " geniesflower < geniesflower> " <geniesflower> wrote: > The events of recent days has definitly left a bad taste in my mouth. > If there is anyone else out there on the list who is contemplating > leaving, please let me know.

If I focused all my energy on the things around me that didn't please me, I'd be doing little else. Instead, I act when I'm moved, and I am silent when I'm not moved. I'll be perfectly frank about this! Not all the emails I saw yesterday were my " cup of tea " either, but I didn't lose even one second of sleep last night over it. It was what it was!! I believe the group was enhanced by the whole experience. I'm not much on recipes, so don't expect too many from me, but I've read everyone that was posted. I'm not a pet person, but I read every post about the precious dogs and cats and the like that our members love and support. Here's what I care about... I care about people. I care about what makes them happy or sad, and I know that diet is an enormous factor in modulating that complex process. There are many views on what makes a veggie diet work, and the only one that matters to most of us is what works for us. Some members are new to this non meat eating world. There are many stories, hints, and tips about " making the veggie diet work " for " old timers " to be shared. Not all of the books on the subject are worth their cover price. Another opportunity for the newbies to ask questions. I have a very good life and I'm not afraid to say it. I have my life because I faced the difficulties as they arose around me. I dealt with everyone of them as their turn came, and over time, this group will evolve the same way. It will only belong to those who choose to become a part of it. Whether it's a big part or a small part--choose!! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
