I am mildly interested to see what the fuck, as well.

No, it's not.

OH, you want me to explain a seeming inconsistency in my behavior.

No, I would rather see you attacked by a horde of angry cows. But in
answer to your original request for an explanation, after having spent
all day on that site, I can tell you that what it means is that you are
more hated than ABBA, but less hated than Hitler or AIDS. Get to work,
man!

Even if it were, I feel it would be entirely justifiable. Back (way back) when
I was living with militant vegans, we had discussions about that. There was a
room full of left-behind clothes (frequent unregulated traffic in humans) where
I found some leather moccasins. Rather than leave them there to go moldy, I
elected to wear them out, thereby prolonging the life of any other shoes I
might wear. The most crabby/militant of the lot, ten years my junior, but
acting like everybody's spinster aunt, suggested the former cows should receive
a decent burial. I maintained, as I do today, that once a cow has been killed,
for whatever reason, it's better to make full use of its bodily by-products. If
I were to drive 30 miles to the lumber yard and work an extra day to go and buy
shoes, I'd have the choice of sponsoring the slaughter of yet more cows, or of
sponsoring the extraction of petroleum and the manufacturing of same, plus the
child labour of teenagers in Malaysia, only to have my feet freeze in the
Canadian winter, clog up the health care system, and live as a cripple for the
rest of my life. For every clothing item that Nenslo or anyone else
successfully re-uses, fewer cows/cotton pickers/teenage mutant ninja turtles
have to suffer and die needlessly. And Nenslo lives better for less. That's a
kind of richness I can appreciate. When you're up to your ass in other people's
castoff material superfluity, you can thank Nenslo for helping it not be up to
your belly button. Such a humanitarian!

Everyone should just do the best they can to live in a way that they
think will cause the least harm. But some folks like to focus on how
other people should live THEIR lives - we need that kind of people too.

Tofu sucks. I have given up trying to like it. The only time I ever
eat it is when I have to go to an asian restaurant. Gluten, however,
totally rules.

Gluten is poison for the body and the mind. It aggravates and/or causes
schizophrenia, autism, and Neslotism. But mainly, I just don't like it. So
there.

No man, you're wrong. Gluten is, like, mind-
expanding and beautiful, man. It lets your
consciousness spiral away on rainbows of colors
and you, like, know stuff that nobody else knows
except "Bob", but HE is everybody and everything
so, like, everybody and everything know "Bob" and
know everything else that is also "Bob" and you
don't get a hangover and music sounds so clear
and you really understand what those Gregorian
dudes are really saying man, and food tastes so
much better with gluten, too, especially nacho
flavored cool ranch style sour cream and jalapeno
extra crispy chicken livers with chocolate sauce.
