    You find yourself being shouted at, being called an extremist, a hippie, irresponsible, a snob, stupid, retarded, judgemental, a weirdo, and accused of forcing your views on others. Simply because you chose not to harm other beings, you find yourself.
Do you mean that happens as a result of being vegan? I wouldn't say 'simply', I'm vegan and have not once been called any of those things seriously, ever. Clearly there's something else you're doing, probably things like this. I respect you for going to great efforts to make the world a better place, the world needs more of that. But your method is pretty questionable.

The linked post for example, what exactly is that supposed to do? kleinbl00 isn't going to stop eating meat because you showed him a MS paint protester, I doubt anyone would(Maybe you were joking, and I'm just stupid). If anything you're giving veganism a bad name and preventing people from changing to a vegan diet because they don't want to be ridiculed or called a hippie.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks it's not unlikely you're employed by meat companies to eliminate vegans. :P
