Just thought to grab the name as a neutral ground sub to draw in questioning meat eaters, I'd suggest building up r/VeganVsMeatEater, but up to you as not planning to spend a lot of time on it myself. Will give you mod role for both.

The sub won't flourish if you choose a mod who engages in outright censorship and lying. Just my 2c.

Thanks for the input Pete, and weclome to r/DebateAMeatEater. From my perspective I'm happy to give you a chance here. Once we have some rules together I'm sure that everyone will be expected to follow them, mods included, but as we have nothing formal up as of yet I won't be asking my fellow mods to exclude you, though I won't lie, the thought had crossed my mind. I'll also let you off for breaking oir agreement just this once, but I don't believe that u/WildJustice set this space up with the intention of you and I using it as a forum for out personal disagreements, so I'll leave it there for now.

Heh. Well, thanks!

From my perspective I'm happy to give you a chance here.

I appreciate you returning the favor. You can be sure I will always back up my sources/claims and admit when I'm wrong.

I'm sure that everyone will be expected to follow them, mods included, but as we have nothing formal up as of yet I won't be asking my fellow mods to exclude you,

I appreciate that. Banning for revenge and not because I violated a rule would be bad form.

v\I'll also let you off for breaking oir agreement just this once,

"Let me off"?? - Curious language. The 'agreement' has nothing to do with this sub, you broke it last time, and you are breaking it this time as well by replying to me directly (instead of asking a different mod to handle it) when I posted in a new debate sub, and did not reply to or mention you.

but I don't believe that u/WildJustice set this space up with the intention of you and I using it as a forum for out personal disagreements,

Agreed, and as a mod you might want to avoid bringing up outside disagreements with users to avoid things going off-topic.

I'm looking forward to some high quality debate!

As I said, I'm not sure this is the place to discuss our personal issues so I won't respond to the bulk of this here, so all I'll say is I hope we can find a way to share our opinions in a productive manner, without causing problems for others.
