The Vegan-Straightedge mailing list

There is now a mailing list to discuss vegan-straightedge topics.

Vegans abstain from consuming animal products to the extent possible. Straightedgers (hyphenate the word if you wish) abstain from drugs and alcohol, other stimulants and psychoactive substances, and, in some cases, sex. We figure: If you're going to abstain, abstain maximally.

This new mailing list is likely to be permanent and replaces the old Vegan-Straight-Edge list run out of the U.K. two years ago.

The mailing list is unmoderated; no one will censor what you say, though everyone has the right of reply.

Postings to the list offering sharp, ad hominem criticism of the entire concept of veganism or straightedge living are unwelcome. However, intelligent, civilised criticism of even the most basic tenets of either philosophy are welcome.

Note (2002.02.19): The VsXe list receives about ten postings a year at this point. It is so inactive that it might be unplugged at some point. At time of writing, however, it is still functioning.

You can explore Yahoo's relatively complete starting-points on veganism and straightedge life. It does seem that new Web sites are born and die each week on those topics, but the Yahoo catalogue gives you links to the most stable pages.
