Dear ........

I do not wish to be pulled into the back and forth of this topic. I think
it has been exhausted.
The nasty tone and name calling is not necessary.
Let's be greatful for the increasing number of people learning about
eating and living a cruelty way of life for all creatures on the planet.

PS - for future events, I suggest two options; partake or stay home.

Wishing everyone a happy co-existance.
