I have to say this is a pretty arrogant view. This is one of the things that drives me nuts about Furries - they can be rather self-centered and egotistical.
There's no analogy to the kind of community and camraderie going on at cons to be found anywhere in the mundane world.
I highly disagree. AD&D folks, drag racers, people who keep pets.... They all have very close-knit communities, enjoy talking to one another, hanging out together at their respective meetings/get togethers... They all have a great sense of togetherness and work hard to help one another in their various endeavors.
Given my first-hand experiences in these groups, I'd say that it is not exclusively a furry trait. Do drag racers "scritch" one another? No, but that doesn't mean they're any less of a community.
