So much for my vegan Buddhist site.

I am vegetarian but I do plants as much as I can.

I am thinking some of these people must be eco terrorists. I couldn't believe some of the stuff people put on there. I got out as soon as someone started putting up videos of live animals being tortured and screaming.

That was the end. I see enough sorrow and suffering. I don't need more.

And I am a believer. Did me in. I just don't think that kind of stuff helps their cause. People will just shut it all out.

And Buddhists don't believe in telling others how to live their lives. Each person is responsible for their own lives and their own actions.

Buddhists don't believe in telling others how to live their lives?? Then why do you post at the government loving DUmp??

Because it's not her telling people how to live it's just the government she voted for doing it.

I suspect a lot of people are tired of some vegans'arrogant moral-superiority shtick. Anyway, here's a -tale with a hint of at least one grossly obvious mistake leftyladyfrommo made in administering her site:

Once upon a time (the late 1990s) there was a vegan website called VegSite.org (.com?). It had articles, recipes, and discussion boards, including discussion boards for homeschoolers (which is how I became aware of it). Ca. 2000, it was the highest post volume homeschooling discussion board on the WWW. Its mistakes were staying with its RYO board SW, and its arrogant and capricious mini-tyrant "moderation". Ca. 2000 and 2001, its moderators banned or drove away some of the HSing boards' best and most helpful contributors (me among them, believe it or not). VegSource's homeschooling discussion board, over several years, devolved into a flame-haven and got hacked, multiple times. Its devolution continued until it was, for a time, sparsely populated by a few spamsters and an occasionl person who found the board on a search engine. Last I looked, VegSource no longer exists.

Morals of the story: Don't be A-Holes; moderate skillfully and evenly (no vendettas, not arbitrary); RYO is hacker-training bait.
