That's certainly your choice.

Did you see the conclusion of the study in the article?

"There's absolutely no question that it's unethical for parents to bring up their children as strict vegans," she told the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

That's quite a bit more insulting imo than saying "you're stupid". I think Tony toned it down a bit.

Aye, and depending on my mood at the time is how I would have chosen to take it. And the source. Something like that from TS would slide off more easily than say, from my beloved Bruce.

Knowing me, I would be hurt, leave for a while, then suck it up and come back when I'm feeling better and jump back into the fray.

Actually, I didn't read the article.

You're right IF garnet (as the person in question) has children and is bringing them up vegan. No one likes to be told they are hurting their kids when they are doing what they think is best for them.

Oh you wound me to the quick.

But then again, who can compare to Bruce?

Aw shadup, bitch.

I saw if coming and tried to head it off but I guess I handled it poorly.
I think Jinx nailed it...again.

Now Hear This, Now Hear This...IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU.

I don't remember who's vegan and who's not. I said I was being provocative with my title. This place is useless to me if I can't be like everyone else.

You can be like everyone else.

But why oh why would you want to be?

If everybody else is free, would you jump in the holding tank just out of spite?

Jag... how should i phrase this? hmmm - oh yeah, shut up you damn foreigner! (was that insulting?)

C'mon everybody Tony provides the cellar for us. unlike many board owners he hasn't set himself up on some pedastal - let's not do it for him. he's just another guy, with his own up and down days, why should his words carry anymore weight than someone else's?

Beestie · 02-22-2005, 08:22 PM

After munching on this thread for a while, I don't see anything in it or about it that is not true to the Cellar.

I think the problem starts when folks start thinking "its about me." "Me" is IRL and nothing in the Cellar is IRL and, therefore, nothing in the Cellar is about "me."

I think its unfortunate that garnett left but, I think she sort of hijacked the thread into a personal attack on her when that is nothing near what was meant by the author. She could have easily taken a different tack like my old vegan roommate who refused to bow under the crushing weight of our ridicule and, in the end through the strength of her conviction, led me to reconsider all of my eating habits not to mention earned my respect.

Playing the wounded bird seldom earns respect.

Hopefully, she will reconsider.
