If more vegans were (completely) like me, there would be less of them, lol. But I know what you mean.

Respecting other people's rights to speak is more important than having more people saying what you agree with.
My youtube channel got terminated because of angry vegans. I had no strikes when it happened.

I'd heard that happened to you and was sorry to hear it. I suspect (hope) that the angry kind of vegan is a vocal minority. I wonder if it's a symptom of some of the worst characteristics of our modern times. People who are offended by anything and everything, and so self obsessed that they only see their own perspective and not anybody else's. I don't think that's limited to vegans. Another angle is being so idealistic that there is no room for any other view, and any disagreement is taken as an attack. Maybe that is something that might change with maturity?
There are vegans here on Steemit that I've known since I first joined, and we can discuss our differences without offence. @stephmckenzie is one of those, and she's commented on this post about how she herself has been attacked by the more militant kind.
It saddens me, and I hope there comes a time when all of us can be free to speak our truths without others feeling attacked and offended.
