Admit It: You're Just Trying to Impress the Hippies
Over on the vegetarian community, turningthekey decides that it's time to get serious about animal cruelty as only a truly wanky LJer could: by writing up an ultimatum and threatening to de-friend anyone who doesn't fall in line. He has devised a stringent set of rules for determining who is cruelty-free enough to be his LJ buddy:

"Anyone who does not do all of the following will be unfriended exactly one week from today. I will leave this post public so that even after you get unfriended you can come back, do this, and be refriended.

1 - If you are a vegetarian or vegan then say, "I am a vegetarian/vegan."
2 - If you are neither a vegetarian nor a vegan then explain why and engage in a discussion with me about it (respond to my replies.)
3 - Copy and paste this entire message into your journal.
4 - Keep in mind that I am neither bullying you into becoming a vegetarian/vegan nor am I saying that you have to be a vegetarian/vegan to be my friend."

"And, do not pretend that if you don't do this that it is for any reason other than that you don't care enough about the suffering of animals to lose and debate livejournal friends."


Do what I say or the bunny gets it!


quan_yin tries to explain that the post violates the rules of the community, but turningthekey isn't buying it.

greentara points out that according to one of turningthekey's other journals (which has some nice wanky bits as well) we might still be allowed to be mean to fish. He has to do a little more reading on the subject before he decides if fish are cuddly enough to protect. turningthekey is hurt: "Don't devalidate me!"

An odd little thread in which turningthekey claims people are editing his posts to make him look bad and asks for a lot of explanations.

"You keep saying that I am full of shit in one way or another, but you refuse to explain it to me. Would you rather I put this in movie terms? I don't watch movies, mostly just C-SPAN (proof I must be nuts, right?)"

Ah, now it's all beginning to make sense. Damn you, PETA! Haven't you done enough?

And of course, my personal favorite, from the post itself: Do you truly object to eating meat, or do you simply want to gain greater social standing with "hippies"?

EDIT: Bahleeted! I did manage to save a copy of the front page with at least the top-level comments. It's here.
