...snipAnyway, as a result of the recent attacks, I've decided it will be far too risky to attend the barbecue organised by Chris, as much as I was genuinely looking forward to it.

Can't you think of anything more original for your own thread?Sorry George,I thought this was original, in the fact, that it has nothing to do with vegetarians. :CBM You know full well that in creating this thread you had at least two objectives:1. To beat me to it in launching a thread about dinner invitations. You effectively stole my idea in a sneaky, underhand way.2. To launch a very rude personal attack on me. Yes, it is aimed at me alone, whereas my comment/opinion about vegetarians applies to millions of people - a huge group, and I know that many people finding that cooking for them creates disproportionate effort, if everyone else is eating meat-based dishes. I've got nothing against vegetarians as people. I just wouldn't want to invite them to dinner. I suggest that's different to you and a few other trouble-makers making personal attacks on me, just because you disagree with my point of view and want to stir up trouble rather than have a debate about vegetarians.

Got nothing against vegetarians myself but what does annoy me is when you have a party of carnivores with just one vegetarian present who will refuse to eat anything other then an 'of menu' special vegetarian dish that you have to go out of way to provide. Whereas when its the other way around and you are the only carnivore they will not provide you with an 'of menu' meat dish of your own - you just have to starve or turn into a vegetarian.

Try to lighten up a bit and understand why your original comments about vegetarians seemed a bit extreme to some of us.
