    We all came here for a reason. That reason never takes second place. It’s all about doing, sharing and helping each other achieve what brought us here in the first place.

    Are we social? Absolutely. It just doesn’t dominate.

    I’ll say that word again…

    “Community”

        Austin Jonathon I know that this community is focused on meat processing and having a lot of fun along the way. I have so enjoyed this community, both from an education as well as a friendly entertainment standpoint. I Pray that this post does not cause problems in the community, one which I an so proud to be part of.

        Recent decisions from Facebook and Twitter have resulted in me evaluating their social media platforms. I can no longer support their positions and I will remove myself from both. There are many companies that I do not support and carefully screen those that I do business with. I will not support companies that contribute to causes that violate my my value systems.

        Respectively, I ask that Walton’s withdraw from Twitter and Facebook. Their platform is no longer friendly to what I believe the Walton’s and Meatgistics community value system supports. I may be 100% wrong, but I will no longer follow Walton’s nor Meatgistics on Facebook or Twitter.

        I appreciate your consideration in this matter. I am 100% a Walton’s supporter as well as a proud member of Meatgistics. I’ll always will be.

                  Departing Contestant Sometimes the issue at hand is never addressed and is still an issue. Meatgistics is a place that we can safely state things and it’s okay for us to agree or disagree, but we are not going to censor things. We respece each other.

                  We, as a group, we like meat, meat processing, gardening, cooking, and the list goes on and on. We accept the prespectives of those that are vegan, and while not necessarily agreeing with their their position, we respect it.

                  I, for one, do not appreciate being censored for my values, opinions, or positions. My original post was not political, but rather a defence of Meatgistics and Waltons. Can you immagine a site like facebook, twitter, whatever censoring us becauce we like meat. This is not an unrealistic fear, we should all see what is happening around the world.

                  Too many of the Meatgistics family have fought and given much to insure our opinion not be censored. I only posted the original posting to respect them and encourage all of us to realize just what is taken place in America.

                      So, interestingly I was looking through this because I was looking for a comment I saw this weekend about someone losing their order history and I was going to see if I could help with that but I got caught up by an older comment by ND Mike where he said Meatgistics has become is preferred social media. I have spent a LOT of time recently thinking about that, Austin was smart enough to know that the content couldn’t live without the community and the community wouldn’t have formed without the content. I honestly thoguth of the community as a fun thing that we could occasionally post on, in the last few years that has changed and the community has grown and grown. It has without a doubt been one of the most rewarding parts of my professional career.

                      And, if anyone knows the post I am talking about let me know! Actually I think I just figured it out. Sorry guys, Saturday was a long day and the wife and I surprisgnly drank once we got home from the event as well so things are…a bit hazy!

                      Get more help with your processing questions and learn more about processing meat by subscribing to our waltonsinc.com youtube page at https://wltns.link/waltonstv I am a Gorilla, love yourself

                        This is weird, was kind of thinking the same thing today when I logged on. I usually check in every day but missed yesterday. Typical day is, giveaway page, enter and go to Meatgistics’s to check the unread. Today was a record, at least on my end. 38 unread… In just 24 hours… Wow! Nearly four years ago it was three or four.

                        From what Austin envisioned, and what Jonathon and crew have done to take this to the next level is incredible.

                                    Chef Meatgistics is a wonderful oasis far away from the maddening crowds (though closer to a ew mad “meatheads” than is comfortable. While I respect your opinions on *acebook (happy now PapaSop ) and Twitter. I was merely commenting on the tendency for old posts to rekindle and burn without prompt.

                                      Departing Contestant Didn’t take it as such. In fact, I though it was funny. I’m likely just too passionate about too many things.

                                      The one thing I do have is many opinions. LOL And really, I do keep most to myself.

                                      Truth is, we should all be proud to stand up for our opinions, values, and beliefs. No one should every be shamed because of what they believe. Maybe our society would be in a better place if people were willing to stand up for what they believe.

                                      Hope this doesn’t cause anyone to choose to be offended.

                                        ND Mike funny thing is I talk about you guys to other people, and they think your people who live around me or work with me. I say no, I met them on a meat site and now they are my friends, and not like friends on the fb.

                                        kyle I agree. I now have several people on Meatgistics that I have a great relationship with. We share things, give and receive gifts, and I believe are stronger relationships then neighbors around me.

                                        This is the greatest group of people. I know there are different opinions, but here they seem to be respected.

                                        Differences are not a reason to hate, they are opportunities to grow in perspectives and as a person.

                                          Departing Contestant I believe it is calling this sight a *orum not *acebook that upsets Pappasop, his reasoning is, it is a community or brotherhood not a *orum.
