To be fair, nearly all of vegan based preaching I see nowadays is by meat eaters going on about vegans preaching all the time, rather than vegan's actually preaching. Then follows loads of jokes about lettuce, tell them to bring their own food etc etc. I know a few vegan's and none of them mention what they eat, but they do seem to have people take up the subject with them all the time, insist that the issue is discussed, then probably go home telling everybody they talked to a preachy vegan.
This is all anecdotal I suppose, one preachy vegan would get on my tits, but I'm firmly of the opinion everybody should concentrate on what they eat and not worry about others. Exactly what you are saying to be fair, my point really just that it very much goes both ways.

A few years ago we were on a camping trip and the mother in law suddenly started on a massive rant at us for sharing a Stella Artois Cidre.
Apparently it has crushed beetles in it.
She seemed to take more issue with this than the chicken, keema and cheese I'd just been eating in the tent.
I wouldn't mind, but she sometimes justifies that she's allowed to 'cheat' and have a margarita pizza if it's been a tough day, so in my opinion she's not even a vegan, she's a vegetarian that only occasionally eats dairy.
They're so good though. I had a gig a few weeks ago and we weren't getting fed so I brought those and ended up having 3 haha.
I've always thought that milk and eggs were a bit odd to be honest, but I was brought up to eat them as I was told they're good for you.
If my wife squeezed me out a fresh glass of her breastmilk I'd wonder what the fuck was going on. I don't need or want that as it's for my daughter, and I think 99% of people would agree. We'll all happily drink the equivalent from another species though, which when you think about it is pretty weird.
<Looks at the 25+ non-veggies present, looks at BBQ covered in remnants of charred meat, looks rather pointedly at friend who brought her along>
Friend then says "Come on, we'll do it in the kitchen..."
Re most talk about vegans coming from non-vegans, that's not my experience - my half-niece (about my age) and her husband are both vegans, and 80% of what they post on FB is either "Yum, found this great vegan restaurant" (fine) or "Meat is evil, look at these poor awful animals, how can people be so cruel" (not fine).
"What the fuck are you doing in here?! This is the men's toi..."
"Nutritional yeast is so much tastier than cheese, and I would know. I'm a vegan. See how clear my piss is? No toxins in me".
I prefer to think of it as a non-diary vegetarian ... easier ... too many rules around every product type. And I'm not going to suddenly burn all my leather jackets ... having worked in the meat industry it would be massively hypocritical.
Says the person happily eating an non-meat imititation of a meat product because they don't like the idea of meat products
I loved meat. I don't eat meat cos I don't like it. I am vegetarian as I don't like eating something that has been walking about, and more often than not, has had a miserable suffering horrible life, farmed and produced on the cheap. I don't like the idea of killing something so I can eat it. We don;t need to do that these days, so I choose not to. Each to their own.
So, for me, a meat substitute that looks like meat, tastes like meat is perfect. Couple of years ago, I got served a real burger by mistake, in a restaurant. It tasted great for sure, but had to go back! Never disputed the fact that meat tastes great. It does. But if I can have that taste, with something that hasn't come from killing and slicing up an animal, that's perfect.
