I think throughout the course of time we have all invested a lot of compassion into this discussion. In fact, the discussion is oozing with compassion, maybe too much.
Actually, I would maybe tailor that to say that the arguments suffer from too much empathy. The vegans empathize with the meat eaters and vice versa, which is a large gap to cross, and causes lots of confusion and frustration. But, the only thing we can do to cover the ground between everyone is to continue to share our honest feelings without fear and with open hearts.
I'm not saying there is an absolute lack of compassion, but the arguing over eating eat being good or bad is the reason those threads have 45 pages. I appologize though for almost implying this involves everybody. Only a few members are involved in this. There is in fact a majority of compassionate people in every thread.
