Default "vegan" arrogance and egotism

Vegans don't simply argue that avoiding animal products is "better" (by some
quantitative measure), that is a probably reasonable claim, generally
speaking. No, they believe in their hearts that the difference between being
a vegan and consuming animal products is analogous to the difference between
having paid employees and keeping slaves. They perceive a huge moral gulf
between themselves and the "murderers" around them (their term, not mine)
They believe that one must be a vegan to to be a truly moral person.

This is the notion, fundamental to veganism, that has been thoroughly
discredited over and over again on this newsgroup, and that is the reason
that you vegans continue to hang around desperately hoping to *win* by
getting in some last chance ad hominem attack.
