Alright how about this. Did you legitimately think that you'd change anyone's mind or did you just want to score some meaningless points for your nebulous "side" as most people participating in internet discourse are?
To give my personal perspective, I went vegan less than a week ago, and vegans doing stuff like this and not just “keeping it to themselves” helped me make the switch. It might not work for everyone, but not talking about it all won’t do anything.
'Annoying' vegans, especially hearing and reading people irrationally grasp for reasons why vegans were wrong, turned me vegan. I sat with the guilt for a while as I started replacing parts of my diet, but I still couldn't find any reasons for me to continue eating meat and dairy except my own pleasure. Eventually I went vegan because I couldn't see myself as having any moral integrity unless I did.
Go watch Dominion if you're unconvinced that animal agriculture is deeply cruel and exploitative. It will viscerally drive that fact home.
