I am happy with how I live my life. I have no regrets.

Maybe you should try being open-minded.

That assumption was correct. In the context of the Internet, a forum is usually defined as such:
Oxford Dictionaries wrote:An Internet site where users can post comments about a particular issue or topic and reply to other users' postings; a message board.
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/de ... lish/forum

Do you define forum as something else? What is it?

Spoiler alert: that's the definition for "cult"
Most actual cults silence opposition and discourage discussion. This is a free speech forum based on the exchange of ideas, not an echo chamber built for circle jerking.
death_by_rage wrote:And the "thing" that you have excessive admiration for would be veganism.
If provided with sufficient evidence or reasoning, I would stop being vegan. Most of us here are willing to change our minds if proven wrong. Are you?

Your happiness and lack of regrets says nothing about the validity of your ideas or reasoning.

With the same logic, the given example is acceptable:
Barry the Chopper chops up people for fun. He has no regrets and is very happy with his life. Therefore, we shouldn't criticize Barry's ideas and reasoning.

I apologize for DBR's naivete. He's not a bad person, just a bit impetuous..

^You bear no responsibility for what other people say.

I don't think he's naive, though... just a dick.
He is a bad person, because he is aware that he tortures/kills animals but is too closed-minded to change, and because he encourages people to kill themselves.

I think I can explain why Chris is being such a toddler.
First of all, Chris came onto the forum thinking he was hot shit, and thinking that his opinion would never be changed, and that he would dominate the forum. One should be weary of such arrogance going to their head, since it can do a number on your credibility. So when he lost a debate (to people half his age) he acted like a toddler, and blamed this primarily on me, claiming I only invited him to show off (not sure what it was).

He should care more about what's actually true than winning a debate. >.<

Wait...
You and Chris are friends, so I'm guessing you're around the same age. I recall you stated that you're around 16. So, do you think EquALLity, brimstoneSalad, inator, and I are around 8 or was this an error on your part? :lol:

Chris is like thirty or something, apparently.
Red is fourteen though (it's on his profile).

So, in conclusion, suicide in of itself may be selfish, but that doesn't necessarily make the person selfish.

I think.
