One problem is when one family member starts eating those, the rest is subject or influenced by it.

Family is about making compromises, food is one of them.

Is this the strategy of the great reset to stop meat food?

You repeatedly broke the site guidelines and crossed into personal attack. We ban accounts that do that. I'm not going to ban you right now because it doesn't look like you've been making a habit of it, but if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

We've banned this account for repeatedly breaking the site guidelines and for using HN primarily for flamewar and ideological battle.

Also, we don't allow single-purpose or agenda-driven accounts here, which it looks like this one was. But the greater infraction was how you were flaming and attacking others.

Please don't create accounts to break HN's rules with.

A warning would have been welcome, because from my point of view I was interacting mainly with other single-purpose, agenda-driven accounts that flamed me incessantly. Early on in this there was even a very creepy attempt to dox me or something similar and there was no obvious reaction to that from the site.

Anyway, sorry for causing you to ban the account.

Edit: I created this account not to break HN rules with, but to contribute my (limited) knowledge of dairy science and cheesemaking technology which I thought would be interesting to HN users, since it's not very common. I got embroiled in flame wars because threads about food invite ideologically driven posts, and because my username acts as a red flag to some users. Just this last couple of weeks I had three or four try to use it as an argument against me, to imply I have some kind of ulterior motive (profit?) for the things I post.

I believe I was being targeted and dogpiled on and that I was not getting into any constructive conversations with anyone, because all the conversations I cared to join (about food or about the environment) were always very one-sided and ideologically driven.

Oh. I also created this account because personal characteristics force me to compartmentalise my online presence.

It totally went to shit, I admit. Sorry again.

I don't know what you mean by "from the site", but if you mean from the site moderators, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't know about it. We don't let users attack others that way (see for example https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...) though of course I'd have to see the specific example to say anything specific.
