Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Hi, After going through my emails today, I have reconsidered what I voted for. I originally voted for recipes,vegan discussions and lifestyle. But I would like to change it to recipes only! Here is why: I belong to a vegetarian group with a MIA owner. It has gotten off the target of just swapping recipes, getting into many different areas and opinions on how to eat and NOW going into other areas of people's lives. The atmosphere is changing in this group, and I am heart sick over it. Wonderful people are getting their feelings hurt and voicing about maybe they should unsub. I think the original plan for just sharing the recipes in this group is a great idea and we should stick to it. I hate to see what has happened in that group happen here. I know this group is monitored, but I think the monitor will have the tiger by the tail if we open this group to other avenues. It just my opinion, but I wanted to voice my concern. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Susan R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 You know, Susan, I would have to agree with you. People become vegan or vegetarian for many different reasons, and sometimes it causes distress when really hard-core veggies berate the soft-cores. I've seen it happen & have quit groups when I see it happening. Personally, I would like to see this site remain as recipes for vegan/vegetarian crockpot cooking.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 You can certainly change your vote--I have the poll set up for that! I definitely understand your feelings--there are ways to get around hurt feelings, such as a rule that no flaming is allowed, plus we do have four moderators now! just recipes are great too! cherrie, list owner , " Susan Rhee " <sulerhee49@e...> wrote: > Hi, > > After going through my emails today, I have reconsidered what I voted for.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2003 Report Share Posted September 7, 2003 Hi Cherrie, Thanks for reminding me that I can change my vote. I changed it to recipes only. I am going to go through my cookbooks and see if I can find a recipe to share. I am new at this so I don't have many experienced recipes to offer to the group yet. I have many wonderful vegetarian and vegan cookbooks; and I want to get back to using my crockpot again. Have a great week everyone! I am starting two on-line classes tomorrow and so excited about it! Susan R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 to all being 48 yrs of age, and have buried some very dear friends, I have adopted some rules for my life, just because someone does not agree with me does not make that person, less of a person, we MUST agree to disagree in some areas of our life, otherwise we may miss some very important lessons in our life, and these lessons are what make us who we are. to all please remember, walking and breathing does make it a very good day. In this country we have the right to live our life as we see fit as long as we do no harm to others just because someone does not agree with (our or your or there lifestyle does not give us or myself the right to ridecule anyone) I am very sorry that there appears to be some disagreement here. I FEEL that we all should let each one be who we are in GODS eyes, and accept that person for who and where that person is in their life. I feel that everyone is responsible for their own actions, and reactions, both postive and negative whatever that may be. I strongly believe that the only person that I will answer to someday for my life is GOD the FATHER HE is ultimate judge. If I offened anyone I am sorry, but it is how I feel. Everyday I get up and brush my teeth and ask GOD to let me see people how HE sees them, and lately when I brush my teeth at night I have to ask for some forgivness, because I fail, and sometimes I fail miserably, and I am so thankful for HIS grace, and look forward to another sunrise. If I rambled thank-you for your time, as I know how valuable time is, but lets not lose sight for what we are here for.. thank you all Steve glitterophelia <glitterophelia wrote:You can certainly change your vote--I have the poll set up for that!
