It's perfectly possible to be strictly veg*an and not be a dick. I just really wish I could convince some of my acquaintances of that. I'm currently eating meat on the instruction of multiple of my healthcare practitioners, but I was a strict vegetarian, and part-time vegan for years before that, and I never pissed anyone off by getting in their faces about their dietary choices. I would happily have a conversation with anyone who wanted about my choices and why I'd made them (primarily ecological, secondarily ethical), but I would always explain things as being a matter of me choosing how I wanted to live my life. My choices were never offered as normative, and although I don't think I changed any minds, I also never lost any friends.
