Vegetarians and Vegans: Do you ever wonder about -?!
Not the adolescent males (You can have my pork chop when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers...) they're just bored hormones.
But the ones who pretend to be veg, then make comments like:
"You're not a real vegan if you walk in the grass, because you're stepping on ants and those ants had feelings, and families and little ant houses, but then you killed them and that makes the baby Jesus cry."
I was just wondering if there was a middle aged guy who works for the meat packers or ranchers lobby, who gets paid to put out defaming propaganda- and pretends to be teenaged girls.
Otherwise, I'm clueless as to the motivation.
Answers: The identity of the trolls?

I don't get it either and I wonder if they know that it doesn't really bother us...they see vegans as crazy activists, but most of us are nothing like that. It is an obsession...and I can only think that they had a bad childhood or something. I mean, I would never just be consistently negative just for the sake of being negative. And these trolls don't seem to actually have an issue with veganism (or no intelligent one)...they are just dark people who are bored. I can't imagine having any friends that would anything like this, and my friends are great people, so I can only guess that I wouldn't get along with this person in life either.
The only thing that bothers me about it is that there are some people who come looking for real thoughts and information, which is why I come on, to give it and be supportive, I just hope that these troll don't scare them off. :)
There are always people who cannot tolerate differences, who are judgmental and who are just plain mean spirited, good thing we are zen vegans :)
I used to. But now I know that the people you describe (probably not many people, just 1 or 2 with MANY IDs) have some sort of clinical obsession. To be harassing people in an internet forum and even have it narrowed down to specific people that they harass and to have been doing it for almost a whole year is mind boggling. What a simple mind(s) to derive entertainment that way for so long.
Then there are those who just stop in to post a random answer or ask a random question just to get a rise out of people. That's just plain ol' simple immaturity there. If that entertains you, you live a pretty lame life.
Some people call me troll but it's usually just the IDs that everybody else calls trolls that call me a troll these days.
I know I'm not a saint but I'll never make fun of veger beliefs and I'll never discourage anyone from being veger nor encourage anyone to eat meat. We might disagree, but that doesn't a troll make.
In the v&v section specifially?
I think we really only have one, with many personas! lol
No idea what his/.her motivation is.
I reckon he / she needs to eat less meat, and get more sex. Works for most of us!!! lol
Cause they know vegans are harmless, peace-lovers. Unlike those extremists or terrorist, who would never hesitate to blast a public residence and fast food centres- K*C, McD, etc.
I do. I personally think it is someone who has a serious mental disorder of some sort, or someone who is a major loner and aware of veganism, but not fully aware to the extent to care or understand what it is all about.
But your theory works too!
And they have no motivation, no goals, no life. I sort of want to reach out help them, and help them to see...
Those are probably just mentally ill middle aged folks that are pissed off that we won't say they are vegetarian if they eat fish.
Some even think that they should be called vegetarian just because they eat meat less than the national average.
We have one or two of those and they have at least five IDs each.
