Amadeus... you just aren't "getting" it yet...   Nobody (that I noticed)
was offended by anything you said.  However, it was clear to many of us
that you were using typical "vegetarian" tactics which were INTENDED to
revolt and offend meat eaters.  Several of us have pointed that out to
you, but you refuse to accept that while we recognized your intent to
offend, IT DID NOT WORK...  We were not offended, and you did not tell us
anything we did not know.

Would I have to butcher a cow, pop the eyes out, and consume them in
front of you to make you realize that I, and everyone else here is well
aware, and fully conscious of what we eat, where it comes from, and how
it gets to our tables?
