uh no, but as last time everyone pretty much got into a massive pointless, not changing anyone's opinion, row over it, not sure why you felt the need to bring it up again.

The earlier conversation deteriorated because Brock became abusive. I can't believe you can't see that Chay. People like you make me lose faith in humanity, and it's ability to reason with compassion. *puke*

Oh, I was the one that started with the abuse? Did you even read the old thread?

Syl, you are a narcissistic, "look at me, look at me pleeeaaaase look at me" deeply insecure person.
If you want to have debates on veganism/vegetarianism get in your deLorean and travel back in time about 6 years. Then stay there.
no wonder nobody likes you.
(Oh and I've been a vegetarian for more than 16 years, during at least 14/15 of those you were nom nom nomming on animals. What took you so long? No need to punish me just because you've finally caught up with the concept.)

Sometimes I wonder if you are a Turing bot programmed by a bi-polar Tourettes sufferer, sent from the future to test us.

che : Your assessment of me is accurate. I am Bi-polar, and have Borderline Personality disorder. This all makes me a rather fucked-up mess.
It was wrong of me to start lecturing people, just because I am a new vegan. Mostly it was the horror of what I had seen that made me want to rush out and convert everybody.
I apologise.

appology accepted. sorry I went off on you, but I know from personal experience how pointless it is to try and "convert" people. As we discussed in the previous thread, the "come round and I'll cook you something tasty and veggie" attitude makes for much happier friends than the "don't eat meat, you scum" attitude. :)

Damn. Those ones say "End Apartheid." and "Free Nelson Mandela."
I got into a lot of hot water over those ones too. :)
