The whole hating vegans thing

[Guest guest]

Yes Michael, and meanwhile the killing goes on and on.....

that's what I have to say to your lengthy diatribe.

Do what you've gotta do.

who's speaking for all vegans now?

I do try to do that.

 

> put those difference aside

 

some things are too important to put aside.

 

I'm not sure I understand the difference between what I am and who I

am. Aren't they the same thing?

 

There ARE such things as vegans and of course they are made up of

individuals who aren't exactly the same. It was you who referred to a

community of vegans whom you wouldn't want to be part of.

According to you such a community can't exist since vegans don't

exist (as a group). Then any community is just a community of

different individuals.

I can't make anyone look stupid. Some people manage to do that

very well without my help.

Aren't we here to learn about each other? Why do you take offense so

easily? I'm not trying to control you. You needn't feel threatened by

me. If you feel challenged by what I say then reply. I'm not trying

to take anything from you. Maybe if you were more opened to

talking about yourself and less defensive we could adjust our styles

of relating so as to be more constructive instead of you're being

supercilious towards me. Sometimes communication starts out as a

shout in the dark. " Hello, who's there? Be ye friend or foe? "

It takes time to get on the same wavelength. There can be a lot of

noise at first.
