You clearly have a wealth of energy and time available which could very much assist the campaign
I have M.E.

That being the case, I will not spend my energy on a campaign if it is inconsistent, misleading, promotes the idea that it's ethical to exploit and abuse animals and that this is acceptable, and if the person leading the campaign opts out of showing why the campaign is a worthwhile thing to support, citing personal boredom and time restraint reasons.

If you throw out inconsistencies, talk in metaphors, campaign for meaningless terms to be viewed as meaningful even when they aren't, say one thing then a few days later say the exact opposite, then really ... why should I help you at all ?

If your views are logical, then surely you can explain them to me in a logical and consistent manner, and my questions surely seem easy to answer.

If you would rather go back to your leaflets and keep right on spreading industry-generated propaganda and enthusiastically encouraging people to feel comfortable about paying for animals to be exploited and abused, then be my guest..... but I won't be there to help you to do it.

trying to bludgeon me with endless questions (which is what it feels like) really doesn't help.
If you would make the effort to answer at least most of them, then i might join your campaign. But, if you don't think that would be helpful then so be it.

You seem to think i ought to not ask many questions, not mind obvious inconsistencies or inappropriate bias in your approach, and despite being uninformed just go along with your campaign anyway, even though i find much of it to be counter-productive and in direct conflict with ethical activism.... which simply isn't going to happen, however much more interesting and helpful you might find it to just skip straight to that stage.

If you feel that convincing someone to join the campaign, or answering questions about the campaign, is too much like effort, and takes too much time, and is a bit boring because people don't just agree with you or believe that your opinions are fact, and it's frustrating..... then well, I guess this is where we shall part ways.

o(^-^)o so long
