Why is user "Me So Soup" such a jerk?
Answers: You mean the "no-one is a vegan because arable crops are fertilized with animal by-products" relentless arguements.
Its an interesting point, once, but not via so many Q&A.
People often point out flaws in moral stances such as veganism. I don't know, perhaps they think it invalidates everything else vegans do or something.
I've had the same against me, if you are confortable with your moral stance then take it on the chin, s/he is certainly not likely to go away. I think he has some good questions. Just because you disagree with him, it doesn't make him a jerk.
Micheal H, likes it shot on his chin, it doesn't surprise me. I don't think he is a jerk. I think some people perceive him as a troll but Ithink he adds a lot to the forum. Not everybody who comes here is a V & V. It is a food category and the a lot of us come here because we are interested in cooking and healthier lifestyles. I think he tries to raise some interesting points, which may offend some people. Also, if you alook at a lot of his repsonses al ot of them are pretty witty and down right funny. It is okay to laugh at ourselves every once in a while. I think he has personally livened the place up without being some monster troll like the Ashley's or such.
edit- J.R. You amy want to check the dates on traceilicious's. I was the original one, and they are spelled the same way. Unless there is a new one I do not know about. The best way to recognize me is by my red earrings.
One of the Ashley's one day decided to clone me and become a mockery. I agree that he did use his persona to clone "me". I have never really seen him be real inflammatory, a royal smarta** at times but not inflammatory, but I am not on here 24/7 so I guess it is possible I have missed something. I just think some of his answers are pretty funny when people are getting into a heated debate on here. Humor has never hurt anybody. I agree with traceilicious... He doesn't bother me, but maybe that's because I'm not one of his targets. If he get's to you maybe it's because he actually has a point... I don't know and I really don't care... labels don't mean anything to me. I get a kick out of the whole thing! :) I agree with tracelicious, but never with traceilicious. Check for the alternate spellings.
"Me So Soup" is a troll, created to infuriate "me". He used the same wolf avatar and has created several different profiles to mock others. "traceilicious" is a take on "tracelicious".
This is most likely the same person behind "Ashley" , "Ashley's Boytoy", and "Allie's Boytoy"
As to why "Me So Soup" is such a jerk? Because people who live in their parents' basement until they are middle-aged are usually bitter. I think Me-Troll is the same person as Ashley.. Me-troll is different than "me" wolf avatar person, but the TROLL frequently changes his name, keeping "Me" in the name (One day he'll be "Is it ME?" and the next day "I know you miss ME" and the next day "ME so soup".. also uses a wolf avatar, to copy the original "ME"
He's the same middle aged dude in his parents basement... that created the aweful "Ashley," whom, I am knocking on wood hoping, is gone for good.. Two profiles.. two different ways of trying to "invalidate" veganism
Ashley: invalidating veganism by posing as a psycho vegan who insists she is vegan and tries to make them look stupid by acting retarded
Me-Troll: Trying to invalidate veganism by not disclosing his eating habits, but posing the same argument OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVer claiming that the people claiming to be "vegans" aren't "Vegan enough"
IF I really thought Me-troll was sincere, he does have some good points, but like I said, I simply cannot believe he is sincere.. he is what I said he is (See paragraph above). HE can appear very sincere, and I could be totally wrong, but I don't believe I am.. But, hey, this is the internet.. if someone claims they are sincerely askng questions in search of knowledge, how can you prove otherwise?? LOL @ JR...
Trolls get cranky when they haven't had their daily serving of young children and nose droppings.
He reminds me of the troll "Nice Guy"...
I don't think that he is the same person as Ashley, Ashley's Boytoy, Allie's Boytoy, and The worlds only straight veggie.
"Me So Soup" Seems like he atleast has a brain, where as the Ashley trolls are just dumber than rocks.
Some people just have nothing better to do than to make fun of those that are different than they are.
It's sad but hey that's life... He seems kind of desperate for attention, I feel a little sorry for him. He has no real friends so he comes here for attention......
........very sad indeed The world is full of jerks who want to invalidate our choices to validate theirs. In their heart of hearts, they know veganism is a wise choice, but they can't bring themselves to break their nasty habits, so they bash us for our imperfections.
Carol J. Adams' "Living Among Meat Eaters" goes into the types of saboteurs who try to trip up veg*ans by bringing up nasty pointless arguments. I try my best to ignore him/her/it and flag the most egregious questions. Who's me So Soup??
Anyways, I'm sure some people think I'm a jerk. It's fine. I'm secure with myself and I know that some people who take the time to actually read what I'm saying, without acting like I just set their hair on fire, know I'm not a jerk.
Trace, you are very level headed, especially for somebody who has a troll. You are one of my favorites though it's obviously costing you in the "thumbs" category!
Allie, my brain thanks you :-)
krister---should stick to answering questions asked less he need to create a new ID again ;-)
Tart----I always say your cause is noble, even though I don't agree with your designation.
michael h---Is it true that you sell hay to feed animal designated for slaughter or is that a fabrication. Also, why do you say "persistent" as if it's a bad thing?
shelly--you're way off, enough said.
k--one of those lame things people say when their trying to lay a guilt trip. Untrue of course.
J.R.--I've never even seen you before---your imagination has gotten the better of you.
Janet---I'd bet EVERYTHING you knew I'd answer THIS question....LOL
straight veggie----thanks for the support
Let me make a couple of things clear. I use one ID. I don't dislike or "target" anybody in particular (except for that veggie tart question---which was a bit of a joke). I post only things that are substantiated by referenced facts. Not too many people do that here. All of my answers, ALL of them, have supported the vege way. My only pet peave is the vegan designation.
Some of you will always see me as a jerk. Oh well.
Now go get back to being the best vegheads you can be!! I don't think me so soup/ the me shall inherit etc is a jerk. At least s/he doesn't even attempt to cover up the fact that s/he uses multiple identities.
S/he posts here to try and rile vegans; currently s/he's insisting that s/he knows more about the word 'vegan' than Donald Watson, who coined the word, in fact that s/he alone knows the meaning of the word as Watson did not apparently live a vegan lifestyle.
It was interesting at first, but now it's become boring. The trolls are all YA employees. Don't let them get to you.
