Honest question, are you really that worked up over the semantics or did you have one too many experiences with vegans of the pushy type?

I personally welcome the recent increase in vegan products and I hope it continues that way. You're still free to skip the vegan isle in the supermarket, fortunately.

I just complained about making assumptions about my state of mind, and now you're assuming I'm "worked up". Do you think that's OK?

[tommit]

It's a slow Friday and I just read all your comments. In short: Yes. I do think it's okay to make that assumption.

Well, I don't make any assumptions about your state of mind. You should learn to do the same. It will make you a better internet citizen.

I mean, you disagree with me so I must be worked up about what you say? What can I reply to that? There's only one way discussion quality can go after that, and that is down the drain.

Not to mention the casual sexism inherent in that kind of comment to users with clearly feminine identified usernames. "Calm down dear" and all that.

You just casually put me in a box labelled "fake-vegans" and as far as I can tell I never made any sexist comment, yet your comment reads like I have. Quite bold to start your comment by saying you don't make any assumptions about my state of mind.

In any case, I didn't even state that you were worked up, I honestly wanted to know if the semantics was your only beef (lol). However, I can see how that may have come across as provocative and for that I apologize.

Nonetheless, I stand by what I said and I think you are indeed worked up. Hell, I'm worked up after this nonsensical back and forth. That's my assumption based on the amount of various emotions you put into your comments.

That's because you're making the wrong assumptions about the "amount of various emotions I put into my comments".
