The posts are under her real name so I don't want to doxx her.
Can I send you a PM so we can discuss in private?

Since she herself chose to post under her real name, how is
merely linking to the posts "doxxing" her?

I suppose you are right. I guess I am really worried about
doxxing myself as I don't want my potential love interest to be
known publicly, as people here could find out who I am by
looking her up were we to actually get married in the future.
But I suppose that's getting too far into the future.

"Again, if you actually cared about her you wouldn't be calling
her "subhuman""
It may be brutal, but the truth is. I prefer honesty over
flattery. Also, you are illiterate. I called her face
"subhuman", not her. We don't call people subhuman unless they
exhibit subhuman behavior, as we judge people based on their
actions, not their looks.

"I prefer honesty"
Good, but:

[quote]I, knowing she was vegan asked "are you a vegetarian as
well". Although looking back, I should have asked, you don't eat
cheese?[/quote]
Neither of these questions are honest if you already know she is
vegan.

I see. But I didn't want her to know that I knew, as I had
gathered the information online by searching her name, which I
thought she might find a little weird. I also wanted to see how
comfortable she was in declaring herself to be vegan. So perhaps
the question should have been: "are you vegan as well". And this
is what I think I had meant to say, I guess it just came out
differently because I have social anxiety as I stated earlier.
In this case, the only dishonesty would be me pretending to not
know she was vegan (hence the question) but nowhere in the
question does it imply I did not know she was vegan (if
anything, it is merely confirming something I read about her
online).

"I didn't want her to know that I knew, as I had gathered the

If someone had gathered information about you online, would you
not prefer to know about it? And would you not be more worried
if they tried to conceal from you that they had done this than
if they told you openly that they had done this?

"And would you not be more worried if they tried to conceal from

they had done this?"
Yes. But if the information is publicly available, I wouldn't
mind if they didn't tell me as I would probably disclose the
information with them in our conversation anyway. But I concede
that I would prefer they told me. Just that I wouldn't mind if
they didn't, unless I explicitly asked them about it and they
lied.

"I have encountered steadfast ethical vegans who think they can
convert their intended sexual partner to veganism via having a
sexual relationship with them....."
We could give them the benefit of the doubt and say that the
vegans are just naive (similar to those vegans who believe in
educating non vegans), but if they do not change their views
even after being presented with the facts (i.e. the meat eaters
will most likely not give up meat. If anything, the vegan women
will become less committed to veganism due to the telegonic
effects of sexual intercourse), it is safe to write them off as
subhuman.
Is this reasonable?
