Well the idea was looking at what is generally considered furry and shared/posted on furry sites and then isolating the common thread. It doesn't have to include every single thing. But maybe it's just a difference in philosophy. I don't like meaningless words and letting everyone have their own definition of furry makes it meaningless.
Therians get excluded because their main motivation is not in common with the furry fandom as a whole. However there is nothing stopping people from being both furry and therian. Also all those spiritual concepts just don't exist. We're not a religion so let's not identify by a shared delusion.
"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."
