I will be very honest with you all, and it IS only my perception, but the pettiness has ever been on the side of justifying the unnecessary torture and killing of animals for food.
My perception as seen plenty of pettiness on both sides, not just the omnivores. I think that is a biased perspective personally. As an example: the pettiness of dramatically closing a forum account because someone disagrees with you (obviously, this is not about you). That seems pretty petty to me, personally. If you don't like a given conversation, simply don't participate, no need for dramatic displays of martyrdom.

I have gone to enormous lengths to understand other viewpoints, and accept them (which I do), and I have been here not as an activist, but as a "sister" in the sharing of the Ra Material and the Law of One, and to discuss important matters with others who are here to do the same.
But what does "accept" mean, in this context? Because by the very fact you don't agree with a perspective, it means you have rejected it, which is the opposite of acceptance. So that seems contradictory to me. And if you mean "understand" then I don't really see that either because you wouldn't see it as wrong if that were the case. So how can you say you understand someone's perspective when you can't really see the subject from the other person's eyes?

I thought post #1292 was your last post on the subject?
