Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I'll have to be the one to take the middle ground one this one. I think that this chat group should be a place where people should feel free to " rant " about the outside world and its lack of true understanding as to why we are what we are (ie: faithful veg*ns). Its also a place for people to engage in FRIENDLY arguments such as the honey discussion and the 8th continent discussion. I dont think that people were being rigid so much as expressing their opinion and others responding in kind. Even here people have different viewpoints on things and it is good to hear them.

I totally agree with this! I too am in the middle here even though I wrote one of the emails on being rigid. I did not mean to come across in any way other than a gentle reminder of compassion for people as well as animals. Sometimes people are so into what they 'are' that they forget about how important compassion toward other people is. I agree that this should be a safe place to vent about things that we can't in the outside world. For example, I would not buy 8th continent for my family, but if someone else feels that it is the only thing that their kids will drink or they happen to like it, then hey, it's better than cow's milk in MY opinion. BUT if you DO drink cow's milk, I respect your decision and if YOU are comfortable with your decision than I have to respect it. Sometimes people are defensive because they are feeling judged and that may be something THEY have to deal with and not the person who is making the comment or statement. Some veg food for thought.
