Ra's Statements About 2D Entities

[Jade]

I've been here almost 2 years now, I know that's a flash in the pan to someone with your almighty experience but it's hardly "popping in every now and then". I've even participated in vegan threads quite often, said my piece, even said my piece to you! Some of those posts went unnoticed which is fine. Still, everything in your backpeddling post above is still a way for you to say that you are better than me so therefore I must defer to your opinion. If you think you are being sweet/nice, let me show you where your wording might be misunderstood:

OMG Jade, you have completely misunderstood!!!! groan

Read: I'm wrong and it's irritating to you.

I wasn't deriding you AT ALL for being vegan 'only 3 years'!! Not at all. Gosh, I would hope that you'd know I commend you for being vegan!!!

Nope, you've actually alluded to quite the contrary in your previous posts:

Now, if you or anyone else has any beef about our views

Implication that I'm anti-vegan.

I've been here longer than you've been vegan

Intentionally diminishing the length of time I've been a vegan

Please let me know how you're doing in 5 years, and then again in 25.

Again more derision

You chastised me for being 'too aggressive' and I was simply making the point that I have been participating in these discussions, consistently, despite people being extremely rude to me, even in the early days when I was walking on eggshells and going out of my way to be considerate and non-judgmental, even when being called outright nasty names, for longer than you've been vegan.

Okay, your "point" literally has nothing to do with me or my posts.

If you thought that was derisive, then you read something into it that wasn't there. Please reread my previous post and you'll see that it's not there. My point was NOT to deride you for not being vegan as long as I have! That would be absurd!

Here you are backpeddling more and frankly, gaslighting. Not appreciated.

My point was simply to suggest that you walk a mile in my shoes before judging me. Hang in there for a few years, speak up for the animals, and let's see how you respond when they call you nasty names. If you can do better, please do. I would welcome you with open arms, if you can show me how to raise awareness and answer the call of the billions of oppressed, sentient beings, without offending the oppressors. Please show me the way!

Assumptions that as 3 years a vegan I've never spoken for animal rights. Really? You think I've never been called names? With how prevalent you are suggesting "vegan abuse" is, you would think that I would have experienced it, even in my measly three years. Also, here you imply that you will accept me with open arms upon the condition that I can "do better" than you.

But popping in every now and then...well anyone can do that. Hang around for a few years, and then let's talk.

Another statement belittling my relative "experience".
For some reason I have a feeling that no matter what my tenure, I will never meet your standard of approval.
