I never meant everyone should stop reading or writing furry stuff; I simply meant the genre I was defining is not well served by non-visual mediums. Whatever everybody ends up calling the thing I was talking about, it was a previously undefined genre, and possibly the only one the fandom has had an active hand in the formation of.
And, heck, my definition does not exclude the possibility of prose; it just makes it extremely difficult to reach its goals. That is why I am "sceptical," not "opposed." It would take a high level of descriptive skill to really pull off.
Well no wonder you were so pissed off at me.
