He claimed that every vegan is a "militant vegan", which is a good indicator that he's a jerk who pisses people off and then turns around and accuses them of being easily offended fanatics.

I see that you still have reading comprehension issues.  I have yet to meet anything other than a militant vegan which leaves open the possibility, unlikely as it seems, of meeting one that isn't.

Perhaps the culture is very different in your part of the world, but I can't recall encountering a vegan who tried to convert me in an aggressive or irritating way.  The issue just isn't on my radar.  This does make me wonder if the cultures are that different or whether you are more sensitive to the issue than I.

I'll throw out the idea that partisan thinkers aren't very tolerant?  At least the partisan thinkers on these boards?  Here, I'm a member of that obnoxious boomer class of humanoids that is much hated and detested.  I don't have that problem at all in the real world, any more than I have with vegans.  Are we just attracting haters?

I have seen vegans like that so I know what he means. What do you mean you are a member of the obnoxious boomer class of humanoids that is hated and detested? What for? Being a boomer? I have heard elsewhere that forums like this one attract haters. Which is why many moved elsewhere.

Yep...  for being a boomer.  Many boomers are intense and idealistic.  Some younger folk are tired of it, and blame boomer stubborn partisan idealism for the inability of government to get anything done.  There is some truth in it, but the partisan stagnation goes across the generation boundaries.  The generations might have different styles of making sure nothing gets done, but we're all in it.

I know about generation gaps.  In my youth, a famous blue boomer motto was "Don't trust anyone over thirty.", meaning the GIs and Silents.  When we were up in arms about gender, race, peace and the environment, the elders who tolerated and pushed the status quo were seen as responsible for the status quo, deserving of blame and scorn.  The classic awakening generation gap was blue boomer vs GI.

But these days the awakening divide has shifted into red and blue, rural and urban.  There are red and blue folks in all age groups.  I'd rather focus on red / blue differences than age groups.  Perhaps the younger folks are seeing the Boomers as being the senior in charge generation and thus are to blame for existing problems and lack of action, much as we used to view the GIs.

But I see the generation hate far more here than in the real world.  Keep an eye out and you'll see it.  I'm not out to point fingers or name names.  Perhaps someone into generation hate will step forward and give you a demonstration.
