**Dragonfly** , I have an idea as to how you can actually make a difference in saving animal lives! Because everyone knows that if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. In Mexico they have bull fights, which kills several bulls weekly, if not daily in some parts. If you could find a way to release them…you could make up for all those years of being an animal slaughtering fuckwit! My suggestion is to open the gates to one of their holding pens late at night. This is best done with plenty of screaming, and the enthusiastic use of a bullwhip (that’s what they’re for). While they make their way past you, make sure to offer your condolences about having their mothers turned into wallets and dinner. Now, as a final act of self-less animal activism you should take their place as Saturday’s entertainment. If you’re really good, you might win! Sell some plasma and fire up that Astro Van! Look out Mexico, a true hero is coming to save the day. Via con Dios mi amigo. ---

[…]…so in the past six years approximately 98.4% of my meals have been vegetarian. In other words only 1.6% of my meals were the flesh of dead animals. The rest mostly grains, legumes and vegetables. How about you?? I’ve been a vegetarian for two years and change. No seafood for me, either. And I haven’t broken it once. Ergo, in the last 25 months or so, 100% of my meals have been vegetarian. No dead animal flesh for me! By virtue of my fewer (indeed, nonexistent) lapses from my vegetarianism, I am morally superior to you, **dragonfly98**! So as your superior, I command you to, err, buzz off, you self-righteous dingleberry. ---

Hi all. Thanks for the links to my website. First, i will clear up some glowing misconceptions about myself. Yes i am a Christian. And no i didn’t convert 10 days ago. What happened is that i finally got rid of my leather slave bodysuit, that had some sentimental value, and bought a nice pair of pajamas. Otherwise i have been avoiding all sins as detailed in the Holy Bible (King James version) for over 16 months now. My conversion from being a sinner to a God-fearing moral upright Christian began in 1998. i once committed a falsehood that was actually 95% true with the occasional white lie. In October 2000 i quit the white lies altogether and finally quit any aspect of sin whatsoever in February 2002. A little math for you. During the past five years that i have been a Fundamentalist Christian, i have sinned perhaps 30 times, only in the form of envy for my neighbor’s ass. Therefore: 5 years @ 86,400 seconds/day ~= 432,000. 30/432,000 = sinned .007 % of the time, roughly …so in the past six years approximately 99.993% of my life have been sin free. In other words only .007% of my life was spent commiting sins against God. The rest mostly beinbg virtuous, moral and upstanding. How about you?? Quite a few functionally illiterate anti-social feeble minded self-righteous immoral cowards here i must say. i must have hit the jackpot!! Oh, in case any of you might have the temerity to doubt my Christian veracity, **read my disclaimer**. No, I won’t link it or make it evident anywhere in my web site. ---

Ah, I see you good folks have encountered Dragonfly. Kinda cute, ain’t he? Please don’t confuse his militant “vegan” attitude with that of other vegnas. Yes, there are some like him running lose in this world, but most are fairly normal. (For the record, I am a vegetarian that has dealt with DF on various message boards for the last 2 years.) All of you have been lucky, as DF seems to be back on his meds recently. He used to ahve this thing for posting “Glass Onions” repeatedly, and he would reply to every comment with “sheesh” or “yawn”. Well, I guess he still does the “yawn” things, but I’m hoping some additional therapy will take care of that. Don’t worry, sooner or later someone at the library will complain about the smelly weird guy muttering to himself, and he’ll get kicked out again and will be without internet access for awhile. ---

Are you selfish self-absorbed brain damaged morons ready for round 2 ?? i SURE hope so… HEY! Thanks for the unnecessary and childish slams all. Especially you OpalCrap. No wonder i just couldn’t “hang” on your message board. All of you should be very proud of yourselves… Especially that macho small minded R A C I S T moderator from another message board. You guys are the best of the best… well sort of. You know what i mean. 😃 Don’t MAKE me dredge up my **disclaimer** again. Oh… one more THING… don’t reply just because you won’t like my responses…because the truth be known… i almost laughed myself silly after reading _some_ of the ad hominem posts here. This can ONLY get better !! Heheh. ---

Huzzah, that my long-time dream has been awarded me - that we are graced again with the pleasure, nay, the _honour_ of your illustrious company. Allow me to humbly extend an arm of generosity as we welcome you again to our fold. Many long nights have I lain awake in my bed, crying unto the unforgiving darkness “Whence **dragonfly98**? Why have we been forsaken of **dragonfly98**? Alas, that he is gone!” Verily your return gladdens my heart, for it has sore pained me that you have been gone. Scarcely a moment’s sleep have I gained since you left us. ---

I, for one, welcome this return, because it allows me to share the results of my research and clear up one of the great mysteries of this once vanished thread. The estimable **Miller** says: > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Miller \* > \*\*I always say, it’s not a real meal unless an animal has had to die for it. I’d say a conservative 100% of my meals in the last five years have had some sort of dead animal involved in the preparation. Preferably, something cute and fuzzy. There’s definitely some sort of direct link between cuteness and tastiness. By my logic, the tastiest thing in the world would have to be fried kittens, but for some reason my local butcher refuses to stock them. \*\* **dragonfly98** replies with: > [@](#): > > And Miller, are you threatening me?? Several posters have questioned what threat **dragonfly98** could see in the **Miller** quote above. Having read the entire thread (I had a migraine anyway, why not take advantage of it) I can only conclude that **dragonfly98** is, in fact, a kitten. The attention span, the spelling (touch typing is not easy with paws, you know), the instinct for a vicious yet utterly ineffectual attack on someone able to crush you without effort, it all fits. Interspecies communication has taken a giant leap this day. ---
