1- Well, your disapointment is duly noted and straight away dismissed, perhaps the defensiveness is because when these topics arise, there's usually a climb from vegans to the moral high ground. Someone else pointed that out.
2- Anyone in this forum is free to express themselves on any public topic. I don't think you have the authority to say or even suggest, who should or shouldn't post in a thread.
3- Well, you hope alot, but that small post just goes to show how high you think of yourself. If we aren't good enough for you, we're not forcing you to stay.
In conclusion, people are free to take their own lifestyle choices, vegans, omnivores, carnivores, insectivores, whatever, as long as they don't infringe on anyone else's rights. Some vegans are very alike religionist fundies, as they easily get 'offended', they like to preach about it, and have a 'holier than thou' attitude towards others. Are you one of them?
1. So it's rational to react to those instances every time a new post on the topic is made?
2. I didn't suggest otherwise.
3. I didn't suggest otherwise, and you're again arguing against a straw man.
