It's not a play. It's an intended
insult.

Again, look how often you insult.

Waa, you can dish it out but
you can't take it.

More insults. I think I was
underestimating. It's probably
more like 99.point something %.

Made up words like your
flexitarians and orthorexia?

Has it been banned in other
countries? Has it been banned
in other animals?

The numbers favour the vegan.

You are a liar. I even discussed
my own homemade pesticide.

With every sentence, you can't
help but insult, can you?

I fully knew it had BOTH common
and uncommon nutrients. If a
mix of Omega 3, 6, and 9 are so
bad for you, why do they sell
that particular mix as a
suppliment?

I've never heard of a longterm
vegan having a cholesterol
problem. The bit that the body
produces is fine. Have you
ever heard of any syndrome
where someone's body makes
too much even after they have
removed dietary sources?

Kindly!?!? Calling me Skanky
and a **** on many a time.
Again I note above that you
cannot converse without insulting.

You've offered no olive branches.
You've merely told me I was wrong
about just about everything, and
expected me to agree with you
and not mind your insulting.
