Veganpower was no troll.. find me something that he said that wasn't true... it's just that the majority of people on the HOL are carnivores and if anyone says anything, as he did, against eating meat, people will generally react against it. There is nothing that he said that deserved red carding. Funnily enough he used no offensive language in spite of his ideas being ridiculed. He simply stood up to others without being disrespectful. In fact he was one of the most articulate and entertaining posters we've had on here in ages. That red card should be rescinded unless anyone can give a good reason as to why he got it because I see no evidence for him being shown the card
I have no idea why he was carded, I haven't seen anything that stands out. When I logged in at lunch yesterday he did seem to have been on a bit of a posting mission, maybe there was something he said.

It's amazing how some people hold the victim card on here, saying how they are 'trolled' or 'bullied', or claim that others with 'different views' are forced out of 'debate', yet they themselves are quite willing to chuck vile insults around, get very personal, perform multi platform trolling, pursue vendettas that last for years and behave in an all round boreish fashion in pursuit of their 'agenda'. This is a message board. View it as such.

He started off decently enough but then bacame quite abusive in telling people what to do and demanding they change their ways. Granted he did it without profanity but the intention was the same. Many on here accepted his choices but he seemed incapable of accepting the choices of others, but sadly most vegans seem to be of that ilk.

Can somebody tell us why he got red carded? Mods? Yes, I can. For trolling people and continuing to insult them. But the final straw was want he was saying about people in the armed forces directly to servicemen. You can call insult the military, you can say what you like about the political abuse of the military, and even the high ranking officers, but not the individual men and women, on here, who serve. They deserve our respect. Its different also if your a long standing member who has a report and relationship with those posters. But when you start calling people who have served and put their lives on the line automations, simple minded killers and dehumanising them, despite being told that that person is a service man / woman, current or otherwise, you're going.

Yikes. Never saw that happen. It's a shame, there did seem to be some kind of deep seated anger issue there for a guy that was trying to tell everyone his diet made him happy and at one with himself. Odd behaviour, but I hope he's not a danger to himself and that in general he genuinely is happy.

It's probably for the best. By the looks of things he had a history of going round the internet preaching to people about how he's a vegan in a smug self righteous way the offending anyone who didn't agree. The diference with this board is that it's not a totally anonymus forum like reddit. He said he goes to lots of matches as do many of the people he's offended. As for the rest of the vegans and vegies on here, good for you. It's not for me but I admire your dedication. VeganPower thought it was an interesting subject which made him a better person than any meet eaters. For me I find being lectured pretty dull - similar to when people take photo's of there food to show off what they are eating on social media.

Pretty fantastic post. Apropos of nothing but have you ever put a p**** on your mouth? No judgement. That sort of thing is super in today's society.
