I totally agree. I have chosen to subscribe to this list to learn about
paleo foods and lifestyle not to hear about why we shouldn't eat meat. There
is strong evidence that our homo ancestors ate meat for at least the past 2
million years as the main part of their diet and only speculation on how
much plant foods were eaten.
I really do not care to hear about how to be a vegetarian paleo as that is
an oxymoron as far as I am concerned.

Learned what?  How to continuously run in evasive circles
while belaboring an issue to death?  ;-)  Seriously though,
given Amadeus's long record in this regard I can see how
somebody might get a bit exasperated and have a need to vent
a little. Personal attacks are always unfortunate especially
if they go overboard but I do feel a little more tolerance and
balance on this issue is called for.  Had Amadeus been posting
on the list in his customary obfuscating style while the original
list owner was running a tighter paleo ship, Amadeus would
have been digitally terminated if not cyber lynched a long time
ago. The list is more tolerant these days which is a good thing
but with a too permissive and laid back attitude, it risks
getting watered down to the point of loosing its purpose and
uniqueness.  Amadeus seems like a nice and well-meaning man
but I am hardly the only person who at this point deletes most
of his postings unread and wishes that the list demanded
higher standards of accountability for its contributors.

Relurking...
