Yes. You supported common people eating meat - remember at least your
posts. None of them do Vedic yajna.

You are not telling something I didnt say. Vedas prescribe yajnas involving
animal sacrifice when and only when it for a higher good - not for
selfishly satisfying the palette.

You have not shown one instance where my position is wrong or at variance
with Vedic conception or in line with Buddhist stance. In my response to
Sri Sunil, I even argue that Busdhist conception of monks not seeing animal
slaughter is selfish. Calling my stance Buddhist is no different to calling
me Buddhist (on this).

You are bothered about harsh language but what about harsh treatment to
animals? I did not use any harsh language. I just said that one who
supports the mass slaughter is a-vaidhika. I hold that position.
