I was referring to the numerous people who, over the years, have told me that they didn't like my position on meat because they like to eat meat, and that me pointing out how much the animals suffer triggers guilt in them.
These same people said that eating plants is exactly the same as eating animals, yet saying that eating tomatoes is STS doesn't trigger any guilt.
I don't recall ever having a conversation with you, so no, I don't know anything about what you think or feel. This topic predates my interactions with you.
Perhaps you want to think about making that clear in your written statement then.

I share the following with you because I sense you are a good person and are trying to live true to your ideals.
For someone like me who hasn't had any interaction with you, you can come across in this medium as strident and abrasive. If your goal is to convince people to give your way of life a try, coming across like that isn't going to help you.
Namaste, dear Monica.
