You are most certainly purposefully misunderstanding things at this stage.

Yes, I wasn’t arguing for (or against) veganism and never stated I was. I was arguing against reasons some may give and defending logical ones.

No, veganism isn’t a moral stance. It CAN BE a personal moral stance as well as a dietary one, but morality is not required and may not factor into it. It may be for YOU, but perhaps a person’s stomach just handles meat poorly in some fashion and therefore they choose not to partake. Don’t claim that everyone in a group must also ascribe to your moral stance. They do not.

And no, punishing murder is not a moral stance, it’s a self-preservationist stance. If you can go out and murder indiscriminately, then you yourself can be murdered just as easily.

I’m sorry you don’t understand logic. Please don’t attempt to explain to me one of my degrees when you clearly don’t have even a loose grasp on the concept. Here’s a free course you can take to better understand logic as opposed to a personal moral stance.

or would you care to restate everything poorly and in bad faith once again

You weren’t supposed to pick this option.

The post you’re citing was not the 7 month old one I was referencing anywhere. Also, the one you cherry-picked was from a year ago and isn’t anti-vegan either. It’s anti-logically unsound argument (kind of like this one here). I can agree with a stance and disagree with the reason someone does something. I agree with multiple reasons to be vegan explicitly in the post you cite.

And escalating the issue is in concern about the hundreds of rampant bannings, not the veganism.

Also, if that was what you call a parody, you are pretty terrible at parody.

For full clarity of what occurred (and not that my diet is any of your concern, but since you brought it up):

1. I am not vegan, but have been greatly reducing my meat intake and have been toying with going vegetarian.
2. I was kicked from a vegan Community I have never posted in and was about to do for the first time to thank someone for something I found interesting.
3. I do not know why I was kicked from a vegan Community. The reason was cited as a rule that I did not violate. I found hundreds of other bans while looking for why I was banned.
4. I did not argue against veganism. 7 months ago, I did argue in favour of plants as plants are awesome. This should be irrelevant to what occurred with these bans.
5. I did all discussion in a single thread specifically created to discuss veganism in a discussion Community on a completely different instance.
6. The Strawman comment is you claiming I’m somehow screaming “1984” because of the ban. I am not.
7. You are being needlessly combative and creating arguments based on assumption. That is the definition of a strawman.
8. My original post here was made out of confusion, not malice.

Is that enough for you to parse what has occurred, or would you care to restate everything poorly and in bad faith once again?

The last time I spoke about veganism whatsoever was over 7 months ago.

Not to mention that it was specifically in a debate thread dedicated to discussing veganism, nor was I overly negative.

Was this intended to be a strawman of some kind?
