You've not shown me anything that invalidates my
beliefs or opinions. We're just going to have to
agree to differ on this.

Yes you are. You said "You shouldn't be. The moral
beliefs giving rise to the fatuous idea of "veganism"
demand that you get rid of ALL CDs from your "lifestyle",
or at least be able to make a compelling accounting for
your efforts to have done so." No one's demanding
that I take on that moral belief except you!

It sounds like you're mad that I'm content with who I
am and what I do. Maybe you're upset that I don't fit
into your stereotype, the 'religion' of veganism.
