Well, that's...weird.  It seems unfair and kind of biased.

It is, but the best thing to do in that case is to not respond to it. It only fuels the "drive" that these individuals have to continually post this material.

Well, I don't understand.  You wrote an article on there but the site is not a good site?  Or maybe I'm just misunderstanding.

I assume it's just a satire site, so I don't think anything is serious on there.

My only other experience with furry stuff was with a newspaper-esque style comic that actually gave me nightmares.  These experiences are what drove me here, just so I could get it straight.  I'm glad you guys are more friendly than I imagined.

Someone else wrote an article on me.

Welcome to the forum ^^

With 955 characters for a signature, I can try make something funny or interesting but no, I'm just gonna sit here and type instead of going to work because breaking the fourth wall is more humour than trying to figure out how I'll get access to my other laptop; picking up my charger that I left at a friends house, around 40 miles away...

Good going Sparky, you did well. On the plus side, it's given you a chance to accidentally revisit some old stomping grounds and see what madness you can create during this seemingly temporarily return.

Thank you.

And to wolfgang, I hope you don't mind, but I didn't see an article surrounding you, at least not with your screen name.  I guess it's of a previous name you used?

Well my article is under a different name, I don't want to release the name because I feel like an idiot because the person who made the page told me he was a fur even though he wasn't

Ah yes, I remember you mentioning that person tricking you by saying they were a Furry.
It is something that Wolfgang doesn't like to get into. I don't blame him either.

Welcome!  It's always great to have a newcomer.  I'm a fairly recent addition myself, but I guarantee you'll like it here.  Great community.

Oh, I see...I admit, I've read a lot of the site, but I never came across things like that.  What I've read on there, I like, but I guess something can't be completely good.

the Dramatica site is just made to make lots of internet drama, just ignore them, I may not be a furry, but every furry I met so far isn't a sex crazed maniac like the Dramatica says, so nothing to fear.

everything that has been said is true (In this thread) we aren't scary sex crazed freaks, the media is totally to blame for that as well as a few unsavory members of the community, plus shows like....CSI i think it was with their episode on us, it's ridiculous how some people take what the mainstream media says as truth all the time. well anyway welcome and enjoy your stay.
