Guidelines for the Vegetarian and Vegan Forums (food, diet)

[Ibginnie]

Please refer to City-Data's Terms of Service, to which all members agree upon joining:

Hate speech, racism or bashing of ANY sort will NOT be tolerated. Rude posts will be removed and infractions issued.
and

Stay on topic. Attempts to hi-jack threads by switching topics or going off topic will be deleted and infractions issued. This is not a chat room - when people hi-jack threads by posting messages that are of interest to only few people, the threads often stop being useful discussions of initial topics.
and

Our opinions on a location or issue are just that, opinions. Highly subjective. Personal preferences. Quirks, even. Leave wiggle room for dialogue, others may not see things the same as you, or been there as long as you, and any one of us can be wrong. Pouncing on someone you disagree with runs contrary to the spirit of this board and its members. We are here to help each other.

As the TOS states: We are here to help each other, not simply criticize those we disagree with.

While all members are welcome to post here, if your sole purpose in doing so is to bash veg*ns and/or a veg*n diet -- take it to another forum.

Thanks.

Since apparently the above is not specific enough for some of those posting here, let me rephrase what Admin wrote in the Atheism and Agnosticism forum

This sub-forum is not the place for proselytizing or attempting to convert vegetarians and vegans. It is meant for vegetarians and vegans interested in discussions among themselves and for others who want to learn more about this worldview and are interested in posing non-confrontational questions to vegetarians and vegans. Use our main Food and Drink forum if you want to debate the merits of this worldview (but do a search first to see if your topics have already been discussed).

Yac.

I know people don't bother to read TOS and/or forum rules but, you should. You really, really should.
