Look, furry isn't the only group that has problems. You think those folks in the Klingon outfits don't get busy at Star Trek conventions, get your head out of the clouds.
All I've ever seen you do in these boards is scream and holler about how we have to get rid of the "fucked up elements of the fandom" and never actually give anything that resembles a positive solution except to drive them out, burn their houses and farms, etc. Telling people who have different viewpoints on life than you to screw off is generally considered nonproductive, y'know?
Even if you managed to remove all but one of these people, anyway, people would still fixate on that one as the model, because people are sensationalist that way. I don't see how you can blame the fandom itself when the entertainment industry focuses on the worst and most scandalous, no matter how much of a good example is set. The writers of CSI were given ample opportunity to see a better example of the furry community, and they chose to ignore it. How can you possibly blame the fandom when the fandom itself offered up its better points and CSI rejected them?
Come up with a rational idea that doesn't impinge on the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness of those people who enjoy that icky thing called *gasp* sex in the context of furry fandom, and then maybe people will take you seriously.
Are you ever polite?
