rebdoniel, I am not trying to argue halacha with you. You’re missing the point. I know that one can eat meat during the nine days and still be in accordance with halacha. I am just saying that since the widespread minhag is to abstain from meat in Ashkenazi circles, and since most CR posters are Ashkenazi, I really don’t think anyone reading this is going to serve Morningstar on meat dishes during the nine days. I also don’t think anyone reading this is going to be careless enough to assume that something is pareve based on a post here without checking the label. Okay, so you know someone who was careless. Fine. I am sure they simply forgot to check, not that they deliberately thought “Oh, so and so told me it was pareve, therefore I don’t HAVE to check”.
No need to make a whole balagan.
