You've missed the point. No, I don't define creativity or originality (which don't have to mean the same thing) but I have no need to. This was not about an absolute scale of creativity but a relative one. Furries are not more creative or original than other fandoms. I made a point right at the start that I was not saying that the furry fandom wasn't creative or original, just that is not especially so in comparison to others.
Not founded in any logic? Only on feelings? Did you read it? Every point is supported with examples and the reasoning behind those examples. You might disagree with the use of those examples but you have not addressed a single point that was raised in my article. I really don't think you understood me at all because I can't see why you would say things like:
"The creativity of the furry fandom is unusual in both its niche nature and the content it produces. Whether that is 'especially' creative, or even 'special' is another matter entirely."
That other matter entirely was what I was addressing! If you're saying it's about furry being special and meaning special in the sense that it's different to other things then I'm afraid that that was the topic that was proposed. You have just completely misunderstood my intentions even though they were clearly stated.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
