You load scheduled your office. I love it!

I’m wondering if the OP qualifies as a straw-man argument...

What the everloving fuck? I had someone do that to me over Kim Davis’s fuckery, which is hella more incendiary than “I’d sort of like to cut down on eating bacon because Babe.” My feeling is that if you don’t want anyone to respond to what you write, don’t fucking comment on FB, but apparently some people only want…

I’m sorry for your situation :( if there is indeed a sociopath among them, better keep your distance as best as you can and hope for the storm to blow over. *supportinghug*

People who think your mere existence is an implied rebuke are no fun at all.

You still ate meat, though. Just not pork or shellfish. Thus your body has the necessary enzymes to digest meat.

I’m kind of a half-ass vegan, if that helps you at all. I eat dairy, but I’m really trying to cut down the amount with the aspiration of going full vegan someday. Also I don’t eat eggs, because eggs are so gross.

Carnivores are so much more judgmental than vegetarians.

The sanctimonious insensitivity of carnivores, ditto.

When in doubt, choose the option that results in a bigger tip.

Yes, I have a friend who works with people with developmental disabilities, and he corrected me very strongly about 10 years ago. I haven’t said it since and have definitely discouraged my friends and family from saying it.

Well, it could be that the use of the word “retarded” made people think you were more of a jackass than you are.

Ugh. I’ll justify my response once more.

I understand the use of adjectives—really, I do. I’m a professional writer, serving primarily as an editor, so I have a great appreciation for all things written.

The use of the adjective big doesn’t help illustrate the story’s underlying theme, which is the kindness that a…

It surely will.

I have often thought that the people who take it as a personal insult even though you didn’t say a goddamn thing, and they are legion, are taking out their guilt over participating in factory farming on you. Because the fact that you have opted out proves that it isn’t hard to do so.

The Atkins thing definitely is healthier for some people. Not nearly as many as went on it, and losing weight is not automatically synonymous with healthy. But everyone’s chemistry and metabolism is different.

“not liking something” and finding something objectionable on both moral and visceral grounds are two very different things. But you knew that, you just hate vegetarians.

It isn’t about saving the goddamn chicken.

Yeah, I think the tweeting was bullshit too (but then I think tweeting is bullshit, period).

A vegetarian is allowed to refuse to eat something that has come in contact with meat (like a TOSSED salad) because they do not eat meat and would prefer to avoid eating meat juices, etc. That's not being rude.
