I used to be Guenivere, and we had many conversations in PM and email about veganism (pretty sure you knew my real name). Now I'm just a random stranger for your project some anti-vegan, anti-Monica personality upon.
My responses would have been the same. I don't retract anything I've said, because I never intended anything negative towards you at all. You misinterpreted, and continue to insist that your misinterpretation was correct, despite me telling you that's not what I meant. Why are you insistent upon misinterpreting?
I do remember our conversations, Guenivere, and am sad to be engaged in discord with you. I remember having a nice connection with you before.
If your intention was to offer feedback, why didn't you just pm me?

There's a difference between derisive and facetious. Derisive is negative, insulting, demeaning, condescending. Facetious is playful, tongue-in-cheek.

No, not at all. Just trying to clarify my intentions, which were NOT what you thought they were!

It means exactly what I said it means!

OK. Do you know anyone who is elderly? Say, a grandparent in their 70s? Perhaps they experienced arthritis, or osteoporosis, or some other illness that the elderly are prone to get, that you haven't experienced because you are young? If they said "I experienced xyz...and you haven't yet experienced that because you are too young" would you be offended?

That's just nuts. I mean really, that's outrageous! My OP was a very respectful, well-documented analysis of Ra's statements about higher 2D consciousness, and I welcomed deep discussion, though none ensued. That is highly insulting, for you to tell me I was picking a fight. Outrageous!!!
