Have I offended any vegetarians/vegans?

If I have, why? I'm not trying to be a smart alick for once, I just want to know what was it about my questions/answers that offended you? I am actually doing a report on the reactions of different groups (mostly vegetarians) to people opposing there life style. I don't expect anyone to believe me, but it is true.Thanks!

Prodigy- You have a good point. No my research did not find vegetarians rude. While some were rude, the majority of them retaliated with facts, and many had very good points. Instead of the biased opinions that I receaved in other sections, I actually learned some things from that I did not know before.

While books are obviously the best choice for research, I also wanted to get some on hand opinions. Thankyou for your responces.

You have to understand that you are purposely trying to offend people, which in amongst itself is offensive, be it vegetarians, or any other person.

Also what kind of report is this? The information you gather is flawed, therefore invalid. You need to look at why you are getting the reaction you are getting. I am going to make a guess here and say you "data" shows that vegetarians are rude and not tolerant of other people opposing their lifestyle.If I'm wrong correct me.

Why is it invalid? You are attacking others beliefs, not just once but multiple times. Purposely insulting people by asking questions in a section that is for people who are vegetarian to discuss their ideas, beliefs, etc. Your attack is automatically going to make people defensive. You may say that you did nothing wrong and only ask about cooking chicken, etc., but for people who have been here(in the vegetarian and vegan section) for a long time, we see intolerant trolls every day and since your questions are the same, you are no different than any other troll here.

I suggest you do real research, which involves books, journal articles, etc. Any real teacher would tell you that your research methods border on harassment of the group you are "studying" and full of errors, as well as prove nothing(which should be the reason for the research in the first place.)

People reactions to trolls are far different to how they react in real life. For example I see you are home schooled, what if I said home schooled children are not as smart as children in actual school? They are also socially behind and prone to intolerance of others? Would you be offended(be honest now)? If I posted this in the home-school section on Answers what kind of reaction do you think I would get? I'll tell you it would be negative, since I was the one who provoked, insulted and attacked something that many people see as the right choice. Now if my second question was more tame(like yours were "I want to home school my child, I don't want him to be stupid what should I do" Would I get the same reaction as the first? Probably, since although I'm not outright saying home schooled children are stupid I am still implying. With the reactions I get I am bound to conclude that all home schooled people are intolerant of others and are opposed to anyone that doesn't agree that home schooling is the right choice. Are my finds valid? No, the research was bias.

Again I suggest you choose a report that has valid conclusions. Not opinion based, or the result of harassing people to the point where they become offensive. Personally it doesn't teach you anything(which is what school is all about), and its annoying.
