Maybe that's just a trait of being a furry. Not necessarilly base personality, but basically all of the furries are pretty nice. I highly doubt there isn't a mean one, I'll give you that. Just another thing to notice though, it's harder to find the mean ones because they are shrouded by the nicer ones. So yeah, that's just the cool thing about furries.  :P
This shall pass... Megalomania... Congratulations on mutilation for life.

UPDATE: Almost done with the mask!! Furred it all but the eye area, just gotta get to that and details like the nose and teeth. Now writing for new album!

That doesnt happen with my family, but i dont tell anyone anything for loads of different reasons depending on the person. I dont even talk about my girlfriend to them. It's better left unsaid really.

If all they did was homework, parents would be worrying that their kids aren't becoming well-rounded people. And, in fact, parents do this - enrolling math nerds in karate classes and the like. There is no way to win - parental paranoia ensures that kids are always doing the wrong thing."

Proud of you moonraiser, you got over the worst part. I hope it works out somehow with your sister.  :(

And I'm sorry White Wolf Guardian.... At least think of the glass half full, you have people like us who ARE trustworthy, although we are in your position, we still are here for people like you who need friends.  :)
This shall pass... Megalomania... Congratulations on mutilation for life.

UPDATE: Almost done with the mask!! Furred it all but the eye area, just gotta get to that and details like the nose and teeth. Now writing for new album!

sanctuaries are strange things... they can sometimes turn in on you, causing you to not deal with any problems because you have a place to confide and ignore. Keeping it in it's little box regardless of how it affects everything outside the box...

that said, a safety net is a wonderful thing.

Quite true. Sanctuaries are really in context places that relieve the subject and not exactly it's troubles. But that's why this sanctuary is more of a place to freshen the spirit for the outside world rather than reside outside of it. It is the internet, you can't be here forever. :P

Well I think a sanctuary is a good thing because then if someone doesn't have a way to let all their problems out because they live in a condition where they cannot possibly do that outside of it, they tend to cause huge problems like for example disgruntled employees and that kid from Virginia Tech who faced problems that they couldn't get help with so they finally let it all out in a manner of desperation. So, a sanctuary or not, this place is the only thing that helps me unload my problems because if I so much as talked to one person around here about my problems it would turn on my like a snake because every single one of my family and my offline "friends" have turned on me in the past. And if it were a problem in itself, I would have quit work, quit college, and quit being assertive and just given up to mourn over my problems here, so I don't think having a sanctuary is a problem myself.
