Wow...
I cannot BELIEVE how easily Katarine_Rose takes offense whenever I say something the slightest bit anti-meat. In the Spork guild, I happened to post something bitchy because someone posted a picture of Marshmallow Peeps, which contain gelatin, for which pigs are killed. Lots of pigs. So as I said, I posted something bitchy and apologized in the same post. For your reference:
La Violetta and W!nd R!der wrote:
Yeah, and of course you never stop to think about the dead pig entrails that are in there, never think about the pigs who gave their lives unwillingly to make that, who were raised in horrible conditions... Oh. Wait. People hate when I do that. SORRY! Shutting up now. *slaps self* Actually, I like it when you do that because half the time, you're saying something I don't know. So I just learned something and will never eat those again.
Yeah, but some of the people who eat those things and don't want to change get really pissed off when veggies do that.
And yet, she blew up at me. She posted a post, in an oversized font, with a bunch of facts and a bunch of bitchiness. I would put it here, but I believe someone deleted it, though I don't know who. That post offended me, so I posted this reply:
La Violetta wrote:
Jeez, didn't I already tell you I was sorry? This is like the cookbook incident all over again. I apologize for having a rather blunt way of stating my beliefs, but what can I say, I live in a free (albeit hideously expensive) country. Anyway, I'm somewhat confused about what you just said... trust my brain to not understand it. Whatever. Anyway, just be glad you don't live with me. I do that under my breath all the time.
Oh, and if you want FACTS, here's a couple FACTS for you.
Estimated number of Marshmallow Peeps that will be consumed around Easter this year: 800,000,000
Estimated number of pigs that died to make them: 125,000
Taken from Harper's Index, page 17 of Funny Times, May 2006 issue.
Then she REALLY blew up at me. She posted a long, bitchy post, again in an oversized font, with a bunch of falsehoods and things that didn't make sense, and expected me to know things I never could have known, and so on. It hasn't been deleted, at least not yet, but I can't see it, so again, I can't post it. Then she quit the guild and sent me a bitchy PM about it, once again in an oversized font:

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ATTACKING THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO EAT MEAT PRODUCTS.
WHEN I ASKED FOR THE FACTS I MEANT AS IN WHAT THE INGREDIENTS WERE NOT THOSE FACTS!
I HAVE QUIT THE GUILD BECAUSE OF YOUR ATTACKS! I HOPE YOU ARE TRULLY HAPPY.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR LIFE!
GOOD BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I PMed her back, saying, simply:
La Violetta wrote:
Oh, I'm glad to hear it. Thanks for ruining my evening. Have a nice eternity!
And in the guild, I offered this message to my fellow Sporkians.

I don't see why she had to make such a big deal out of it. I apologized before she even posted. First of all, she didn't tell me what kind of facts she wanted (or maybe she did, but her post appears to have been deleted, so I can't tell), and second of all, those were facts about what were in the ingredients of 800,000,000 Marshmallow Peeps: 125,000 pigs. Excuse me for not knowing that she didn't know what gelatin was made of- excuse me for thinking people
were less ignorant. I never asked her to leave, she left of her own accord. I never said anything about narrow-minded people. And I don't think I was being narrow-minded about anything, I was simply saying that there were dead pigs, raised in awful conditions, in those marshmallows. Once again, I don't believe I was flaming. She, in fact, is flaming me. And I might add that this guild is by no means vegetarian domain- its owner, for one, is a non-vegetarian. I must say, this is a little immature for a thirty-something-year-old, going off like that because of what a puny 13-year-old said. I have to admit, I'm glad she's gone.
Now, tonight, I absolutely feel like shit. I don't like being yelled at on the Internet. I think it's worse than when it happens in real life. But I have no regrets about saying what I said. Katarine_Rose is now on my ignore list, both on Gaia and under her username on Yahoo! Messenger, where we chatted once. I've got to admit, I feel really sorry for her kids. If she can give me this much shit online, when I live in a different state than her, think what they get at home!
