It seems that you need to be much more careful about the use of irony and hyperbole - even in a suposedly private exchange of emails with someone you thought was a friend ...

Twitter is (of course) in meltdown as snowflake vegans with malfunctioning (or missing) humour circuits ramp up the faux outrage.

I'll be really offended if he has to resign and will withdraw my custom ... unless they send me free meat parcels as compensation ...

well he's gone
and I was gonna joke - artichoke crazed vegans have gathered garlanded with leaves and animal parts outside the manager's bouse

but I see they having a pre-meeting on AB !
jno // As AL says, that's crazy talk for someone who's supposed to be producing a food magazine, and responding to writers making pitches: don't diss your readers. //

Also a bit stupid from a purely editorial point of view. Veganism is increasingly popular these days. Not something you should dismiss out of hand when considering content for a food magazine.
I'm slightly confused about whether he'd had any correspondence or meetings with the person previously as if he had it could have been taken as (ill judged granted) banter and if not it's just bizarre, but I often get banterish business mails from people I've had previous contact with which in some instances could be pretty ill advised if I chose to get all #metoo and offended about them. What some people see as darkly funny other take offence at and to his cost he' found this out :/
After much consideration of terminally offended dweebs and their outpourings I've arrived at 'At least it keeps some of the roasters out of the pubs'.
You know what? I'm sick of people who class anyone who has a different opinion to them as 'terminally offended'.

Years ago we were selling a very modest home for a very difficult
'Hyacinth Bouquet' type lady. Nothing was good enough, the photos the description, the price, so the guy who did the details photo-shopped her terrace house into parkland with the description 'room for a pony'. The email circulated the office and beyond and was hilarious, until a junior in another branch decided to email it to the owner. Poo Poo hit the fan time and the guy responsible was sacked.

Like I said -the content may be funny but some jokes are best kept private.
Well I NEVER! The very idea, etc.
There’s none so blind as those who can’t see.

There’s none so stupid as those who go on repeating the same old lie in the face of reality.

Last time, folks: I’m a vegetarian, and know loads of others. We don’t give a flying fig about your silly jokes, where we stick our sausages, etc.

What we DO get upset about is geing called hypocrits.

Now, what is so difficult to understand?

You're a hypocrite BB
Hmmm not reading 5 pages to see why folk are getting antagonistic, but it looks like maybe things need to cool ?
Old-Geezer -there is only BB getting worked up, apparently somethings hit a sore point....
Something to do with his hip as far as I can gather.
ludwig - absolutely. A wise editor seeks to increase circulation; he doesn't announce "Pumpkin eaters? Ew, don't want them reading my magazine." You publish features even on topics that don't personally interest you.
I think the biggest mystery is why we as a planet haven't benefitted from the technology that brought them here from Vega.

Not a very sharey lot it would seem.
My response to you Talbot (You're a hypocrite BB) would get me banned from Answerbank and might even get me arrested. So you’ll just have to use what imagination you can muster. Good luck.
Awwww bless.
Oops.

On phone so can't post the link. The Mail has discovered that the vegan who got upset at a jokey email, tweeted the word "good" in 2015 in response to the news that 7 people had died in the Pamplona bull run.

So let's get this right. The moron becomes all indignant over a joke and confirms the precious humourless stereotype of vegans, but celebrates the death of 7 people.

What a nasty bloody woman.
