      It is, but many vegans also do really unhelpful things that are closer to trying to berate or shame people into not eating meat and it is obviously not effective.

        Out of curiosity, how many people have you convinced to go vegan?

          None. Why do I have to convince a single person to criticize an argument I don’t think is convincing?

            Well, I guess I’m just not sure why you’re trying to give us advice about something you have zero experience with.

            If I didn’t know better, I’d say that you don’t actually care what kind of approach is more convincing, and you’re just trying to tell us to shut up, or say things in a way that makes us easy to ignore.

            You have no idea what you’re talking about at best, and realistically, you don’t even want us to be successful. So, thank you for your unsolicited advice on which tacts are unhelpful, but, just so you know, I will be promptly tossing it into the trash.

              I have a lot of experience with people trying to convince me of things.

              And you are welcome to take the advice I didn’t give to you in the first place and throw it in the trash.

                how much experience do you have with people convincing you of things?

                    well no that was people trying to convince you, i can try to convince you that the sky is yellow for example, but that’d be fucking stupid.

                    I’m just curious how many people have actually managed to convince you of something.

                    if the original statement is useless (it’s not a question, so i’m not repeating it) then my question should be more useful in the context of that useless statement, considering i have a specific word removed that changes the entire meaning of the question.
