[split] "Some people eat animals, some don't."

More mean to DO that, than to point out that it's being done.

So people are saying "You are mean for saying that something I'm doing is mean" when what they're doing is far, far meaner than saying it's mean. See what I mean?

You have metaphorically killed me with the gavel right here.

As in you've judged my opinion null.  That is what is mean to me.

Does this help clarify?  I don't mean to judge in reaction,I just don't know how to show you that you have nullified many.opinions of others in arguing their cruelty for how they eat.

If you think having a stance on what Ra calls a 'serious' issue is being mean, then I have nothing to say to that.

Its not said to hurt or dissect you this time.  As a human to a human.  I am worried you're being cruel unintentionally.  Maybe I have misread your entire tone across the many threads I've read your posts.  I could very well be wrong and overreacting.

I just noticed...That you can be mean.  In ways that legitimately made me question your motives or your identifying as of being STO oriented.

I know I crossed the line, Diana is right about the judging.  This is me trying to be change.  Some of us don't adhere to.the guidelines, nothin is done about it.

So we need to make the guidelines matter, when we break them, that catalyst will return, all of those are inevitable.

So when it does return,we need to be sincere, honest, open, at the very least considerate.

This forum taught me that.  You taught me that.

I can be mean.  I do not want to be.  If I am please tell me, if I dont listen then please ask others to disregard me.

All's fair in time, in the Way of Learning.

I am in the process of mentally preparing to once more give up cheese...  -tear rolls down cheek-
Andmany processed foods...  preservatives, chemicals and GMO's.
Ihope to maintain that eating style too.

Yeah, cheese is a tough one! So creamy and yummy!

Thankfully, there are now vegan cheeses that are pretty good. The early ones were dreadful, but they are getting better.

and without the opioids!
