"There may be some JOKING about vegetarians, but that isn't bashing, unless one lacks a sense of humor."

Oh, okay, so can I start joking about homosexuals and minorities, and when people say it's out of line I can say "hey, it isn't bashing, you must have no sense of humor!"

Please. If there was a cause YOU felt *very* strongly about and took very seriously and people on a progressive message board told you to "lighten up" when they completely bashed you every week, you'd probably be a little pissed off too. :eyes:

What you and others fail to understand is that vegetarianism is something many of us take very seriously and it affects our lives very much. The point is we as a group have made REPEATED pleas for acceptance and respect, and we don't think these so-called "jokes" are funny, and that's reason enough for it to stop. If you're not mature enough to see that, then well...:shrug:
