Sounds to me like you were just looking for an excuse to do something you're not totally convinced is the right thing... Your comment also reads way more aggressive than it would have had to be, which makes me think that vegan got to you more than you'd like. But that's just me. And I'm in permanent conflict myself for trying to eat vegan myself and raising two kids (as predominately vegetarian omnivores - if that makes any sense.)
Sure if you want to read into psychology of a comment and "who got to who hardest" go ahead. I just saw a combative vegan and ordered burgers which I didn't plan on eating today. Do with that what you will, attribute some internalised guilt, whatever.
Well you know if only they were wealthy enough to become a vegan in the first place they could buy the good looking carcasses the mean Vegans are making them eat! /s
