Diana's been pretty respectful to you. And I am not even a vegetarian or vegan. *gasp*
Instead, you might want to consider how you've created a straw-man argument by painting vegetarians and vegans as aggressive, militant activist types whose futile efforts are just a time-suck on society. And then you might want to reflect on the rejection you've put on someone by turning their passion and perspective into this ugly, dumb annoyance. It's pretty easy to see how someone would want to clarify their position, which you've distorted -- and voila, now you're attracting the people you're trying to get away from.
I get wanting to be left alone, not to be judged for what you eat. I think everyone gets that and I think that's totally reasonable. But it's pretty brazen to ask for people to mind their own business, while loudly and passive-aggressively slamming the viewpoints of others. I mean it cuts both ways dude.
