Is there not a Squabbling Bollocks sub-forum anymore?
Vegetarians are OK it's the 'Preaching Vegans' that get the mickey taken. I was vegetarian for several years until a drunken encounter with a Kebab shop (Pavlos on Clarenden Park Rd./Queens Rd, he cooks over Charcoal in the shop not one of these gas thingies) Tonights dinner for instance will be Spinach and Ricotta Tortelloni in a Cheese sauce (so Milk. Butter and Cheese)I think that's a really interesting point -and a worthwhile point to remember when the shoe might be on other foot (and I'm not suggesting you do this Reiver, I'm talking about this from a general point of view). I think everyone can have something they like/believe/hold dearly and haranguing them or making fun of them isn't always the way to go (and I know you can poke gentle fun and have a sense of humour, though I think that's best left to close friends -interestingly that seems to be the first resort of a person when they get offended when someone calls them out for it).
As a cyclist and vegetarian, I really got fed up with seeing posts about vegetarians and then the obligatory snidy negative remark and I've realized I just can't not call it out similarly. I don't understand many interests/beliefs many people have, but I ain't about to make snarky negative comments about them either.
