Ra's Statements About 2D Entities

[Jade]

I find it amazingly humorous that you have it in you to deride me for being a vegan for "only three years". What exactly do you want from people? Do you want everyone here screaming in perpetual agony and outrage over the existence of factory farms? Do you want us all to fawn at your feet because your service is so much nobler than the rest of ours? I'm really, officially, at a loss. Thanks for the giant laugh though.

OMG Jade, you have completely misunderstood!!!! groan

I wasn't deriding you AT ALL for being vegan 'only 3 years'!! Not at all. Gosh, I would hope that you'd know I commend you for being vegan!!!

My point was simply to suggest that you walk a mile in my shoes before judging me.

Jade, regarding "only 3 years": I took Monica's post in this way as well (that you were judging her to be aggressive; and that before judging you might walk a mile in her shoes). 

If you look at your words in the quote above, do you not see them as divisive, sarcastic, and demeaning?

I think Monica is simply trying to get information across, and hoping it is understood. Perhaps she feels weary after all this time, because humans put more importance on their own existence than that of animals. 

It has become somewhat vogue to be vegan or raw vegan today. You are vegan in a friendlier climate now. Monica has been trying to raise awareness for animal rights for approx. 30 years. Perhaps you could allow her a little leeway in your judgments. Those who pave the way always have a more difficult time.

Of course my response was mirroring hers, that's how conversation works.

Her argument is literally "Back when I was nice, people called me names, so now I'm not nice anymore!!!"

And I'm supposed to make excuses for and support that? Also I should accept that relative to her veganism my veganism/opinion is worth less? What the heck.
