Again, I am doing my practicum on vegetarian and vegan support groups.
In one of the support groups I am following their is a middle age man who identifies as being vegan. He is strongly opposed to ANYONE who consumes meat, dairy or eggs. He feels that they are selfish creatures who do not care for the well being of any other animals. I am having a hard time distinguishing whether or not he is just an extremist or if he is possibly a troll. Some of the comments he makes are offensive and he is not willing to take time to educate people. Instead he just wants for force his opinions down other people's throats and criticize their lifestyle.
On a lighter note... Here are my questions for tomorrow:
1. As we discussed in lecture, what do you think makes up a community? Do online groups count?
2. Can you consider your online friends to be real friends?
