Thank you for your comment. But it wasn't really important...you didn't really get what I said, and you tried to reduce it to this contradiction. What was the point of that? Really just want to hurt me? I hope you can see that there's a lot more going on, than your reductive view of it. Why did I take the time to explain it? Because I feel sad thinking you will keeping doing this, I want you to be better, then other people will be happier. But also I want to be heard, I don't want to be misinterpreted, misrepresented.

I guess you took what I said as contradicting your point of view. Maybe it makes you feel better to think that people who advocated for better treatment of animals, are full of contradictions, and therefore stupid, and therefore not what you need to listen to. So when I replied with something pushing back, invalidating the critical dismissal, you weren't satisfied. I hadn't fit the "animal advocates are contradictory" model that you wanted to see. So you tried to prove that by misinterpreting what I said into some contradiction that you invented. Maybe it's more a general theme for you, that about animals specifically, you think everyone is bunk and full of contradictions, so there's no way that anyone can tell off anyone else about anything. Because everyone has to work out their own way. Well, actually, apart from suggesting that you're a teenager or early 20-something (I'm not being derisive, just has that rebellious, forge your own identity streak, but if you're older, that's really cool, you maintained that youthful mindset)--you and me very much agree with that. I guess I'm just further down the road with that than you are. When you do yourself for long enough, and come up with your own perspective, eventually you probably settle into developing a set of morals: like you go from-> everything in the world relative, and nothing has moral authority, really, (beside individual feelings, being a personal compass, if that's your take, as it was mine), to, well these things are good, and these things are bad (but it doesn't have to be b&w, it can be grey). It's really pretty natural as you get more experience, to see those patterns, and realize these things work and these other things don't. You'll probably find that condescending...but how can a claim of more experience, necessary almost by more time, be anything but condescending? So what do you expect...talking with people who put more time into something than you have so far. You can choose to emphasize how you feel it's condescending, or you can get something out of it. Or you can do both...but it might be less efficient. Good luck! :)
