You're missing the point. YOU ARE THE ONE WHO BROUGHT YOUR VIEWS UP FOR DEBATE. You said yourself it is something you enjoy debating. And that is why you are a self-righteous whiney punk. You start ****, then cry about how you get ****. You do this to enforce your decision to be vegan. This way, you convince yourself that there is some sort of glamour and glory about being vegan. This, in turn, leads you to start **** so that you are actually "earning" the glamour and glory of your decision. Which is my whole problem with you people; you don't just do what you do because it's right for you, you're a self-righteous glory seeker who usually ends up playing the victim because you're "badgered" and "attacked" when you start **** in the first place.
