I was not bragging, merely defending myself, and I really do not think that
I did anything impressive since neither of the two people I mentioned were
orbiting the planet at the time, and I did not even mean to take planets, 
but I got bored of trying to raise my offense on your LPS.

Now as far as respect is concerned, I feel no great need to impress those 
in the netrek audience

"Finally the Vegetarians-Are-Imperious Myth:  Vegetarians are self-righteous,
judgmental proselytizers who make vegetarianism an issue with anyone, anytime,
any place.

Reality:  Sure, we put you unfeeling, know-nothing, meat-eating murderers on
the defensive.  But how can you go on eating meat when we've told you time
and again how the animals are mistreated, how eating meat can kill you, how
it depletes the rain forests, how it hurts the environment, how.... Sorry, got
a bit carried away there."  Vegetarian Times (03/90-41)
