Finally, we're getting to some truth.
> My goal is to discuss idea that acting negativity toward meat-eaters is worse than saying nothing, as it potentially drives away them and random lurkers.
Who doesn't agree with this? Is your problem actually that vegans are unable to command, control, and change other vegans who suck at outreach? I'm not responsible for what a random asshole vegan writes in the vegan subreddit. But I can actually do the activist work myself and lead by example. You should, too.

Edit: I forgot about Tobias Leenaert's book, How to Create a Vegan World, which I strongly recommend if you're genuinely interested in critiquing vegan activism and learning about what works. https://www.amazon.com/How-Create-Vegan-World-Pragmatic/dp/1590565703
I'd still welcome them and shake their hand with a smile. People that are "health vegans" or "vegan for the environment" are in a sort of transition state where they might eventually see the moral reasoning and adopt it as their reason that anchors them into veganism. I know I went ethical vegan through this route.
I'm reading Tobias Leenhaert's How to Create a Vegan World: A Pragmatic Approach, and this point comes up often.
I think you should check out this book: How to Create a Vegan World: A Pragmatic Approach. I don't agree with everything but you should check out the section on defining veganism and the "confusion" of labels.
Yes, this actually makes plenty of sense. Moral arguments don't really matter if someone genuinely believes that it is necessary to eat animal products to be healthy.
Not always leading with ethics, but rather tailoring each message to the specific audience for maximum impact is the strategy Tobias Leenaert recommends in the book, "How to Create a Vegan World: A Pragmatic Approach." Leenaert is an ethical vegan, but understands that to move the general population toward ethical veganism (which is the goal), a variety of approaches are necessary.
Reminds me of a book How to Create a Vegan World [1]. The book talks about how work towards reducing suffering and avoiding the "feel good angry" vegan that accomplishes little for animals. Definitely give it a read!
