Mine is a little non standard. There was a redditor who claimed to be a Texan piano teacher that wanted to eat people. I got into an ethics debate with them, and I was forced to either cede their position was more logically consistent than mine or that eating animals was not OK.

I've always wondered if they were a vegan activist with an unusual tactic or they really did want to eat people.

Whatever works! Glad you saw the path and decided to act in accordance with your beliefs, that is more than most people end up doing and instead live lives of compromise.

Thanks, and also thank you for all the work you did at vcj, and now here too. I'm not sure I'd have ever gone vegan without y'all. :)

I can't tell if this is hilarious or genius. I guess both! But im glad it worked!

I was definitely considering if I had an obligation to report them to the Texas police, but they did say they were in active psch treatment and receiving therapy. Looking back it is kinda funny, but it also seemed quite serious at the time!
