We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content

You didn't just say be mindful, you said that you could kill yourself by going vegan. That's an extreme claim that your interlocutor met with an above average rebuttal.

B12 is important for vegans, but you will not kill yourself. Any of the deficiencies other than B12 that show up in vegans also show up in omnivores and carnivores, so it's just as possible for some people, depending on their circumstances, to kill themselves out of a poor diet.
