[split] "Some people eat animals, some don't."

[Monica]

Would you clarify where I personally attacked you? I'm being honest. I've re-read my posts and can't find anything I would consider a personal attack. So if you could clarify where I did that, it would help me in the future.

I guess I just get confused when the line gets crossed. I'm not talking *about* you, I am talking *to* you, which seems like a big difference. You are entirely free to leave the conversation, and it will cease. And to me, it is on topic, because I think your approach to "vegan activism" can be counterproductive. I'm not saying that YOU are counterproductive, or necessarily snarky at heart, I'm just saying that actions that you are taking may be seen that way. There's a difference, isn't there?

I think you may be confusing me being firm in my stance, with me being disrespectful. I think that happens sometimes, too.

You are talking about a person instead of the topic. If you wish to talk about personal issues with someone, that is what the pm system is for. Or maybe some thread devoted to working out personal issues. I started one of those threads back when I was a mod for specifically that, but I think they locked it...not sure. This thread is about eating animals.

Talking TO a person ABOUT that person is still off-topic. Furthermore, analyzing a person's actions and motivations, making accusations, etc. are all various degrees of attacking that person. Most definitely OFF-topic and Not allowed, at least not when I was mod. Maybe things have changed, Not sure. Doesn't matter. I won't participate. I replied very minimally and to say I've spent more time 'defending myself' is absurd. I have nothing to defend.

I'd done with this. If you have more to say to me personally, please do so via pm.
