VEGAN Mailing List is a support for vegans in maintaining
a vegan lifestyle, but it is also much more. It is a safe
haven for ALL vegans. The atmosphere is friendly, polite,
and respectful of the values of our fellow vegans. VEGAN
Mailing List is not a place for "in-your-face"
confrontations.
We learn about the diversity of views within the vegan
community. That diversity of background and philosophies
is truly awesome. Part of what makes our discussions
interesting is that those on one side of an issue will often
be on a different side of another issue. It is intriguing
and sometimes surprising.
As a whole, vegans are peaceful but steadfast in their
principles, which can make for some very civil but
opinionated discussions. In almost every discussion,
opinions are challenged by at least someone. If the
discussion does not serve to strengthen views, then it
helps to change them. It reinforces some opinions
and discovers error in others.
From the list's inception, we have always allowed
off-topic discussions. VEGAN Mailing List was never
strictly a vegan list; it has always been a general
discussion list made up of vegans. It is a group of
vegans, and those interested in learning about
veganism, who have found in each other a group of
"kindred spirits". We are free from the bounds of
"prescribed" mainstream thinking and find fulfillment
in examining a variety of issues.
