Re: As a semi-vegan?
Come on, he's clearly a troll. Moreover, as a non-native speaker myself, his broken english sounds quite suspicious. He doesn't understand a word of what you're saying, he doesn't know how to write a proper coherent sentence yet he uses terms like 'counter argument' and 'self-righteous'. He's a troll guys.

You know, I thought I was welcome on this forum, and then I suddenly see a low blow like this when searching for a quote. If nobody wants me here just let me know and I'll leave. Because I'm not too intellectually challenged to take a hint.Jebus wrote:Are you thatNerdySciencegirl's future husband? If so, congratulations.

Forum is biased toward vegan and uncivilized.
It's just like a christian site where they claim moral as their own , lie about meat and being self-righteous.
It's exactly same.

At the time I thought that joke was justified as you had been both rude and close-minded in a different thread.ThatNerdyScienceGirl wrote:You know, I thought I was welcome on this forum, and then I suddenly see a low blow like this when searching for a quote.

Right. There may be rare exception, but not anybody who engages in sensible discussion.Cirion Spellbinder wrote: As far as I know, everyone who follows the forum rules is welcome here.

I think it was when ThatNerdyScienceGirl refused to engage in discussion on marriage and relationships, right?
Unconditionally shutting down open minded and critical discussion is one of the only things seriously frowned upon here. Whatever opinion a person has, he or she should be willing to engage in discussion on it and defend those views, or otherwise not assert them.

Re: As a semi-vegan?
Refusing to engage in discussion is a bad thing? Am I not allowed to just not want everything in life to be a long drawn out argument? I was literally just proposed to and wanted to tell y'all cause I was excited, why would I want to argue whether or not marriage was cognitively logical? I didn't ask or imply that. That wasn't the point of my post, and I didn't want to engage in that debate and didn't ask for one.brimstoneSalad wrote:Right.

If that is close minded and intellectually inept to do, then fine. Or do I HAVE to engage in every debate tactic hurled at me?

Re: As a semi-vegan?
And even if I DID do something as closeminded as NOT arguing a topic I never brought up, is it then logically moral to attack not only MY intelligence on a topic I am not a part of, but also my fiance's?
Yeah, this forum has a REALLY weird view of morality when insults go unpunished or even praised simply because someone won't argue a petty point or says something that is factual but not popular.

Re: As a semi-vegan?
You started the thread and I asked a question that was very much related to that thread. You could have ignored my question and that would have been fine with me, but you responded again and again (with a negative tone) without ever answering the question.ThatNerdyScienceGirl wrote:And even if I DID do something as closeminded as NOT arguing a topic I never brought up
Logically moral??? WTF! It was just an attempt at humour at your e-expense. I don't even think it's possible to insult someone whose identity is not known.ThatNerdyScienceGirl wrote:, is it then logically moral to attack not only MY intelligence on a topic I am not a part of, but also my fiance's?

Re: As a semi-vegan?
Of course. Not everybody is going to want to discuss everything all of the time, but this is a discussion forum and the whole premise is kind of arguing about stuff.ThatNerdyScienceGirl wrote: Refusing to engage in discussion is a bad thing?
Your thread brought up a potentially interesting topic of conversation.
Jebus seemed to ask nicely enough. I believe he is married, and he has his own reasons, and was just curious about what yours were (since marriage is often a religious institution).
Nobody said anything about it being moral. Personal attacks are not barred on this forum, because that leads to biased censorship in the grey areas and is unfair in debate when being on the wrong side and making a perceived personal attack can get somebody banned when the other side is often doing just as bad or worse (there's subjectivity in these calls, and so why attacks are not prohibited).ThatNerdyScienceGirl wrote: And even if I DID do something as closeminded as NOT arguing a topic I never brought up, is it then logically moral to attack not only MY intelligence on a topic I am not a part of, but also my fiance's?
The Joke may have been in poor taste, but I understand why he made it right after you posted this:
You had just been rude to him, and then he made a joke at your expense (nobody has any idea who your fiance is, so it's more or less a "your momma" jab).ThatNerdyScienceGirl wrote:I am not going to answer any more questions about the why's of marriage and the validity of romantic love. If you want this to be an argument or debate, please do so elsewhere.
It was a rude response to a rude comment. What am I supposed to do? It's not against the rules, and while it might have been a little excessive to carry it into another thread it wasn't entirely uncalled for.
In the future, if you don't want to discuss something, maybe be a little nicer about it? I don't know what to tell you.
You're welcome here. This was an isolated event, and it went both ways.
Because you're entering into the institution, so it might be good to examine your own reasons for doing so with a third party.ThatNerdyScienceGirl wrote: why would I want to argue whether or not marriage was cognitively logical?
When I make a major life decision, I like to look at it from as many angles as possible.

Re: As a semi-vegan?
As this is a really long post, I have to say I didn't read it all. But I would suggest this to be another example on how, animal caring, sentience, rights alone does not make people vegan at all. It is just not enough and it is not the only approach for veganism, nor all what veganism is. Better yet, there could be people that dislikes or cares less about animal welfare and be vegan i.e. advocates for animal-free products for our human needs
