One of the things I want to accomplish with this tumblelog is I want it to create more pathways for two-way and multi-way communication.  Vegan.com is my soapbox.  I want this site, by contrast, to be a source of dialog.

And I can’t begin to tell you how scared I am of having dialog.  There are vegans who seem to exist for the sole purpose of giving other vegans ulcers.

One of the best ways to start connecting with someone new is to ask for help.  I’m totally new to Tumblr.  I’d like to allow for forum posts, ideally restricted to people who take public accountability for what they write and are motivated to communicate with kindness.

I just discovered that if a Tumblr post ends with a question mark, you’re automatically given the option to enable comments.  So I’ll do that for this post.  But who can tell me more about creating the sort of community here that I’ve described?
