This will sounds incredibly rude, but this post and especially the comments supporting it ->
http://community.livejournal.com/veganpeople/4164145.html is one of the reason why I'll continue not to follow (watch) the comm.
I'm vegan. I like hearing what other vegans think. I like discovering new things. I like seeing debates. However, I don't like gossip, wank and posts aimed at the simple goal of getting any reaction out of others because a poster is feeling alone and needs some human interaction.
I'm not going to tell you how to run your comm, but if you could try and see that what is posted there does affect how others (i.e. non-vegans) view vegans and veganism as a whole and step in when wanktastic posts are posted for wank value alone, I'm sure everyone who would not like to give the wanks a go would thank you.
That's all. Thank you, and sorry for the rudeness. Human stupidity doesn't sit well with me.
