Stop the Leslie bashing!

I want to plead with you to stop bashing Leslie.

If you think he is full of himself.. that's fine.. that is your opinion..but why shit all over him witch cheap jabs?

we are here to discuss what we all have in common interest and not try to divide ourselves for our differences..

c'mon!

    I think too much attention has been given to him, but you have to admit it goes both ways here.

      I'm also wondering why Leslie actually pays attention to the name calling..

      the best thing to do ignore the name calling... perhaps give a little jab back and keep the discussion focus to the topic.

        I feel that I have tried to keep the discussion relevant. When I disagree with a position I explain how and why.

        BTW, I am not The_Mandrill. This is my only tribe account.

    I have to agree with both of you. Just because someone has a belief system they are solid in, and someone else doesn't agree with it, doesn't make it ok to bash them because of it.
    Instead of calling each other nasty names or trying to diminish the other argument by saying the person is crazy, everyone's statements should be allowed to speak for themselves. Everyone's opinion, as long as they aren't trolling and the opinion pertains to becoming raw or supporting a raw lifestyle (and that could mean presenting information about why raw might not work, because two sides of the argument should always be represented.) should be allowed. Then everyone else can read the posts, and make their own decision in a positive environment.
    Come on everyone, we'll all catch more flies with raw organic agave nectar (haha, see, I raw veganized it for everyone…)

      I have no problem with someone having beliefs that are different then mine. It is when I feel they are needlessly preaching to me, from the pulpit, that I get my feathers ruffled. It would be like some hardcore Christian preaching about how going Raw will lead you to Jesus. It is just stupid bullshit that isn't needed

        well...The Mandrill,

        I feel the same way about cheap jabs thrown around that does not help anyone.. just get's people feeling hurt and get tempted to get verbally agressive, much of the time honoring their temptation.

        Still I am tolerant of it.. i accept it and simply try to be at the table regardless.

        I suggest you do the same..exercise some tolerance. Leslie is simply expressing himself...
