I usually think of the movie "Mean Girls" when I see the usual offenders do exactly what you're referring to in your post. :thumbsup:

I don't "get" furryism either - but I DO have interest in learning about it. It's not something I'd seek out on my own, so I really appreciated this topic because I learned something I didn't know, and if I ever DO encounter someone that's into furryism I will have a little more insight and understanding. More than not getting furryism, though, I don't get the irrational outrage? offense? whatever it is that turns other people into frothing at the mouth haters. It's like watching a bunch of fundies confronted with the GLBT community. :shrug:

So again - to the OP, I really DO appreciate your post and the time and care you took to explain something I was unfamiliar with. I am a person that "likes to know" - where "know" includes everything I possibly can. I am especially interested in people, what makes them tick, what they think, and who they are. Your post taught me something and made me a better, more understanding, and more well-rounded individual. For that I thank you. :)

To WEL - Thank YOU for so eloquently stating my thoughts *exactly*, and in a far more polite and respectful manner than I probably would have. :yourock:
