"So, no-one was ever hectored, eh, Jackaroodave? Are you sure about that??"

Steve, I said no one ever became a vegan because they were hectored, so it was pointless to do so.

I think that those kinds of actions are supremely counterproductive and marginal within the tremendous growth of vegetarianism and veganism. They remind me of the Weather Underground during the Vietnam War: Functionally, they were agents provocaeurs for the other side.
