I've come across vego crusaders in print, as I read some long thing, I think in the New Yorker, on the history of Peta, but not in my regular life. Mostly people let stuff be - though not always, another subject. An associate sued Mattel and won. On the other hand, I guess by now I have a selfselected group of friends, wildly different each of them, but none of them brutal in conversation, at least to each other.
