That's ok. I enjoyed reading why it worked for you and I have a better understanding why you liked it : ) I didn't dislike the article, it is well written (not that I'd be able to recognise good literature if it hit me on the face) but as a vegan it feels like it sits on the fence of abuse. I wonder if the author would've taken the same neutral stance if he was writing about a more commonly recognizable kind of discrimination/abuse such as rape or racism. It feels like he took the politically safe approach in an attempt not to alienate his readers. But the biggest disappointment to me is that by being neutral he comes across balanced on a subject where balance doesn't exist! And that misrepresents the victims. Still I appreciate that such writing exists and speaks to someone out here.
