How direct can I be in this case?
I’m asking to stop some behaviour and you still keep going on at it.
Well, if you honestly think that I am the problem here, then please delete my account. I don’t know what else to tell you. I don’t believe that I have offended anyone personally, targeted any protected group, said anything hateful or outrageous or worthy of such condemnation. I believe quite the contrary is true, I have been friendly to everyone, always lighthearted, and willing to help. But this is your house, and I am your guest, and it seems I have overstayed my welcome.
Hey, how about some beautiful things that I received from fortune

As a woman in this forum who hasn’t eaten meat for 2 years this October. I’d just like to point out that there are actually quite a lot of men who are, or have been vegan: Lewis Hamilton, Leonardo Decaprio, Zac Efron, Benedict Cumberbatch, Al Gore, Jay Z, Samuel L Jackson etc.
I love cookies too Just polished off a white chocolate chip cookie from Subway I bought 3 last night as part of their 3 cookies for £1.40 deal. I also love their meatless meatball marinara sub.
Not something I think about a lot, I admit. To me, if I can eat it (which until I get some teeth again is a limited list) then it makes a meal - regardless of whether it is meatless. Sorry. Will say I admire the *&!$^ out of Lewis Hamilton, though!
Back to the jokes…
No lie detected. If I’m alive in 14 years, I’m sure I’ll be just like that.

To be fair I gave up meat first for health reasons - It’s healthier and second for ethical reasons - The meat industry is having massive repercussions on the planet. However, one of the quotes that really struck me was “If you wouldn’t feel comfortable killing it… You shouldn’t be eating it”
Though I have a lot of respect for Lewis Hamilton too, hence he was first on my list.
At the rate my computing habits are changing atm, it’s quite possible I’ll be right there with you at that time

Om nom nom again, lol … sounds great, and you got a good deal there. I buy boxes of 12 for £12.95, and eat them with along with a nice cold latte; makes the taste even richer.
Why do you turn things in a heavy discussion when things like this turn up? You can add annoyed smiley faces to me you want, but I want that everyone feels welcome over here and if you or other people can’t live with that, the internet is big enough to find the right place for you. And this is addressed to the whole community.
We’re working against the clock over here to maintain a distro and I really don’t like the direction the community is heading since this summer. I refuse to accept to let this kind of behaviour on the forum break our enthusiasm for this project.
Is it really so hard for everyone over here to show respect for each and everyone?
Possibly because you have at least one moderator who thinks this kind of behavior is okay.
Edit: And apparently when this kind of behavior is confronted, those posts get flagged and hidden, so that kind of adds to the problem.

The post was flagged by a user and hidden by the system.
It was later removed by a moderator(me).
It was not hidden or removed because of the issue being addressed. It was removed because it is a direct violation of the guidelines we ask the community to follow. Name-calling and personal attacks are not acceptable no matter the reason.
It has already been made clear that the original comment was over the line and not appropriate. The issue was addressed by the staff both publicly and privately so hopefully we can close this out and move forward in a more positive direction.
That’s me for last 2 years
Too Soon?
