    Maybe the solution lies in empowering *yourself* to avoid being upset/insulted by simply ignoring every little freakin microdetail about your online reputation? Why do people invest so much self-esteem in what anonymous nobodies on the internet think of them?

    Although in this case I don't think he cared about the reputation, you are right in that some people on here are way too concerned about it.

      Can whomever it was that downvoted my post below (about the cow) please explain why? You are, of course, perfectly entitled to do so but I'd just love to know what it was I said that upset you. Thanks.

                              It is far more likely that it was one of the carrion-sucking carnivores, in their continuing [and fruitless] attempts to discredit vegetarians and vegans. I've found them to be the verbal aggressors in essentially all instances. We vegetarians, you see, understand that the show-off carnivores are best handled in a manner similar to how one handles flies. You can shoo them off the lumps but they always come back. They, too, don't know any better. As an aside, PETA sucks:  not because of their message but because of their arrogance.
