I tried that recently in a story about how overrated nut milk has become (https://medium.com/beingwell/why-i-stopped-using-nut-milk-and-why-you-might-want-too-as-well-5817f72db3f9). I pointed out that if one was a vegan, that was a legitimate reason to drink it. That did not stop a herd of ardent vegan advocates from commenting about my lack of understanding of their dietary choices. Much of the time, these trolls don't even read the whole essay.
