Disgusted with some of this board right now.

Really? This is how we treat new members? Let's replace "Vegan" with "Muslim" or "Alcoholic" or "Catholic." We, who are here to celebrate our own diversity, would belittle someone else for their own? C'mon, folks- we're better than that.

Agreed Nighthawk. I went to that thread and at first couldn't see what the problem was and then BOOM went the dynamite. It seems like there was one member (who I won't name) who took it upon himself to be hateful and belittling to a degree that I honestly have never seen on this site before. I sent a PM to the OP apologizing for the horrid behavior and letting him know that most of us are of a kinder more welcoming sort. We are all very different people with one thing firmly in common...KILTS. For whatever reason, we love 'em. Our differences can be discussed but to hate on each other because we disagree is unacceptable. Good on ya for calling it out when it reaches that point. Sometimes we need a thick skin but sometimes we need to smack somebody (metaphorically) for being a jerk.

If this post makes little to no sense, I apologize. I have been ill and the room is still spinning a bit. Time to take my Nyquil and talk to the little gnomes that live behind my ears.
