(Idiotic site comment not directed at the owners of the site but at the sort of internet rabble that pollute every site with their moronic non-contributions).
Predictably imbecile responses as always unfortunately Amborin. It isn't that I would mind lively discussion for or against specific issues within the animal welfare/rights movement, it is the dumb shit like "Yeah you know Hitler was a vegetarian neener neener neener.."



I haven't logged on in many months but I have this to say about leaving this site-it makes sense for any serious progressive to do so (well ok except for reading the actual articles and news items posted and original stuff by many of the prolific writers ;-)). Participating in the discussions and comments here is just not worth it. There are many serious progressives/moderates here, but there are also many people who seem to lack any sort of actual life and appear to spend their time living out fake controversies, battling over trivialities or just enjoy trolling (not just conservatives; there seem to be many here who just like baiting for the sake of baiting).
The comments, in-fights, back biting, personal battles or drama that one descends into (or even just ends up wasting time observing-I know I spent an hour or two observing the drama at places at like the Lounge (let alone in GD and GD:P) since it just had such a horrible, train-wreck reality show quality) if you participate in the "community" here is just not worth it.

Quitting this site and spending that time on more activism in the real world is one of best decisions I ever made. And way better for one's mental health (directed at cool people like Lorien etc.) than listening to morons troll...

I am logging off for the next 6 months...I logged on after months, read this thread, got irritated and realized that unlike obnoxious conservatives one has to deal with in real life, these losers one can just turn off by logging off and never bothering to read their b.s. again :D. Its not like there is any getting through to them ever.
