Generally, I avoid politics (furry and non-furry) like the plague that it is but I feel the need to come to Nexxus' defense for two reasons.
First, FurNation was instrumental in my finding the furry world. I ran across the art of a particular furry artist, who is still one of my favorites and who I had the pleasure of meeting at Anthrocon this year, and that led me to his FurNation site and then to all the other furry sites there. If it hadn't been for Nexxus and FurNation, I might never have found the furry world I enjoy so much today. For this, I feel I owe Nexxus a debt of grattitude.
Second, my only personal contact with Nexxus was pleasent. After I'd been visiting the site for several months, I couldn't get the site to load. The site would start to load and then hang. After a few days of this problem, apparently only with FurNation, I sent the web master an email asking if he was having a problem and promptly received a polite reply. After a brief exchange of emails, we were able to determine that it was not just the FurNation site but any site that transferred you from one place to another when you were entering. I just hadn't tried any of those besides FurNation. Armed with this information and some details from Nexxus, I was able to contact my ISP and get them to fix their problem.
I've been where Nexxus is. I have worked on some things I believed in (nothing to the extent of FurNation, though) and there always seemed to be someone who thought his purpose in life was to tear it down. In certain circles, my temper tamtrums are lengendary. So, I'm willing to cut him a little slack and wish him well in whatever he decides to do.
