I have been informed today that I have been plonked by one of the listmembers. Which listmember is irrelivant.
The listmember informed me that my "intollerance" was reminiscent of Jeroen. When I recently rejoined the list, I sensed apprehension and fear from some list members at my return. I assumed I was just reading more into the messages than was there, and in all likelyhood the fear and apprehension was my own. Was I wrong? Are there listmembers that are affraid of me here? Do my posts seem intollerant? All opinions welcome, both on-list or off. I will not hold what is said against anyone. If enough people express a desire for me to leave I will do so and never return. The last thing I want is to make people uncomfortable.

Wait, wait. I know it wasn't me who plonked you, and of course you know it wasn't me either.
Look, seriously this is what happened and I'm not saying this as an excuse: I had 40 minutes between getting home from one job and leaving for my second. So I throw something in the microwave (broccoli, honest!) and skim some posts while eating. I'm bouncing between threads and for the cancer thread it seemed to be Julie (kidding!), Michael, Andrew, and Michael again. My mind rolled those together and I (me, myself, all the voices in my head) thought you were lumping all the bad things that could happen to meat while it was on the hoof and the troubles that lead from that. My mind latched on it and thought of all the bad things that have been said about vegetables. So I typed out my post and sent it.
Then I shut off the monitor, cleaned up, changed, and went out to drive my convertible to work on the one sunny day we are allowed a week. The car wouldn't start and I didn't have enough time to jump start it.
So. I get home and find I mis-read your post to Julie (can't resist!). You were saying...forgetting all of the other stuff, no matter what cooked meat will have more cancer causing agents than vegetables. And I've been sitting here for a few hours, doing other things admittedly, wondering in the back of my mind "Does it matter?"
Oh heck, I was going to post more but the answer is it doesn't matter. I don't want you to go anywhere. I wasn't trying to say bad things. I read something and responded. I'm sorry if you think I've caused you some harm. Wait! I don't want that to sound bad.....just from now on, you can say whatever you like, about eating meat, and I won't respond.
Now if you'd say, Red Sox's rule, Yankee's drool, then I'll have to jump on you with both feet.
