I find it offensive that you keep insisting that I invalidated you as a vegan, after repeated assurances that I didn't intend that at all. NOW who is invalidating whom? You are choosing to continue thinking that I had a certain intention, when I didn't at all.

Whoa!! My son's middle name is Jade, so I thought you were male. And friendship? I didn't know who you were. How could I know? I don't know why they allow people to change their user names. It's very confusing and disconcerting. Like, I was somehow supposed to intuit that you were a woman and someone I had conversed with previously? Why do you assume it was a jab? That sounds like a preconceived intention to look for insults where none were intended. I could understand you thinking it was a jab, if your profile stated that you were females. But, your profile says 'undisclosed'! You can't expect people to know you're female when your name could be either, and you choose 'undisclosed' on your profile.

Not make-believe. But once it was pointed out that you had misinterpreted my intentions, you could choose to quit hanging on to those misinterpretations.
