I posted right up front that this was a rant of something that really annoyed me. Other people have ranted about pet peeves on this site before without the thread turning into this.
But I apologize for not being so perfect as you are ... and allowing things to annoy me.

Where did Junebug say or indicate she was "perfect"? I don't understand why you are so upset and getting so annoyed here, in this thread.
Some people feel like it's not a big deal that others act as you have described (being closed to new vegetables). I understand that it's not logical to you. I get it. As I said, I feel similarly that it isn't logical to disconnect from what is on the plate, when it was a living, breathing creature before. But, what can ya do?
By the way, I am *still* wondering why there is a "." at the end of all of your posts. I am SO curious and want to know why.

Just because you put up a discalimer doesn't negate its "pissyiness". I'm just saying you shouldn't be surprised that a thread that began as a rant lead to more.. rants.
Maybe you should take a breath before you hurl insults at people in such rapid succession.
And I disagree about pet peeves being covered on this site not stirring up such a fuss. Dig up the threads about people who have a small amount of weight to lose calling themselves degarding names, or the infamous Lean Cuisine thread.
They usually don't go down in such a blaze of glory though. I will give you that.
Grown adults don't whine about not liking veggies that they refuse to try.

Yes, they do, obviously, because YOUR friends do, as you have pointed out at the start of this thread. Is this thread and the frustration you feel really about your disappointment in the quality of your friends?
It can hurt when we realize that we have less in common with the people we choose to have in our lives than we once thought.
I've heard people say, "wow, I can't believe you don't like pickles. I love them." But do they really take deep offense to it that someone doesn't like THEIR favorite food
There's a huge difference between "I really don't like pickles." and "Pickles are disgusting and vomit inducing."
Yeah I did . . . still not offended. Anyone chime in if I offended them when I said I tried oysters and they almost made me throw up. Anyone? They are just words, Photo. Just words. And it's just food personal food preferences. No one is saying they find a certain food disgusting for the sole purpose of personally offending YOU and criticizing YOUR food choices.
I do not deserve to be called childish. This is getting ridiculous.
Your NOT childish. AT ALL. Don't be offended. Unfortunately, we have posters who quickly resort to name-calling when they can't come up with a rational argument. (I'm referring to no one specific here )
As soon as some other mods come around, the thread will be closed or deleted.

Thanks Harpo! And by the way I love oysters, so we're even!

I don't think you are "childish" for what its worth.
I love pickles. I used to drink the pickle jar juice as a child! I put vinegar on many foods as a seasoning. I love cucumbers too. I also like "pickle" Indian condiment and kimchee and other traditional "pickle" dishes. You probably would be repulsed by much of what I like, but that's okay. It's all good. Variety, spice of life and all that makes the world interesting.
Side note in regards to thread in general:
Well, I was hoping that others would be "adult" enough to address points I have raised, but apparently ignoring them is what is happening instead. Oh well!

Yes, I tend to ignore being baited. It has been an interesting discussion ... as I said, I learned quite a bit about several people here. Quite enlightening.
