PETA Is Not the Enemy.

158. I did not knock on your door. I posted a thread.

This is a discussion board. If you are not interested in people bringing up topics you might find inconvenient, what are you doing on a discussion board? If you're dead set against changing your diet and are not interested in anyone else's opinion, why would you even read the thread and bother to respond to it?

As for people coming to your door, there are more civilized ways of telling them to leave you alone than to swear at them. Having made phone calls and canvassed for Obama in 2012, I do think that people who swear at political callers and canvassers are bullies. No one likes being yelled or sworn at. It's much kinder to say you're not interested and close the door. You can even mention that you don't appreciate their visit and ask them not to bother you again (although a political campaign would ignore your request). Insulting them doesn't achieve anything and will certainly not prevent future visits.
