Why I am not a vegan

[anagogy]

Look, Anagogy, I don't appreciate you saying these things about me. I am not a martyr or melodramatic for the record. 

I am in this thread still to not allow your insults pointed directly at me to go unaddressed, as I am pretty sure the moderators won't step in. I am not all that evolved, and I will not allow you to speak of me in this derogatory fashion.

I did say the pettiness, in my opinion, in these threads about meat-eating, was on the side of the meat-eaters; but that does not mean every post or member said petty things. It was a general statement. Everyone is entitled to their own perceptions. No one here is entitled to say derogatory things about me or any other member.

I am not hurt. I am not angry. I am not being dramatic. I just want to set the record straight and call you out for your inappropriate words.

You can get offended if you want (which is pretty apparent no matter how you want to characterize it), but it is just my honest personal opinion of behavior i perceived.  Just as yours was.  I don't see my comments as any more offensive than yours were about omnivores in general.  It isn't an attack or an insult anymore than your own statement was.  It was simply your own behavior reflected back at you.  I honestly have no axe to grind with you Diana.  Saying a behavior is petty, is not the same as saying you, as an individual,  are petty.  Just as your description of meat eaters acting petty does not mean that that is their identity.  We all take actions that are not perfectly selfless, whether we consciously realize it or not.

I was simply responding to a perceived bias.  That was how it came across to me regardless of your intention.  If you don't agree, fine.  But it doesn't change my opinion.  

And if you don't like the thread, no one is forcing you to participate.
