For some time now, Karl's been alluding to a "threat of violence"
he supposedly received from a Burned Fur member. I have been
asked to post the full text of the exchange in which this "threat" was
made. Read it, and judge for yourself whether the truth is in Mr.
Jorgenson. For my part, I believe he's full of...well...hot air.

I apologize for raising such concerns, Hangdog. This hasn't been
an easy week for me. I was extremely upset when I wrote that,
and I honestly didn't care what I said to anyone. My patience
had run out, and for the first time, I truly lost my temper.
I can assure you that I have no actual desire to inflict physical
violence upon anyone or ruin any perfectly good walls. In the
future, I'll try not to let my fustrations get the best of me.

1. Clint Forrester threatened me with violence. This is
a matter of public record. No amount of apologies from
him should allow Hangdog to rewrite history and pretend
it didn't happen.
2. Clint Forrester only apologized _after_ Hangdog said
it would make Burned Fur look bad, which looks an
awful lot like some pretty hasty PR work to me.
3. Upon hearing about Clint Forrester's threats of violence
against me, GothTiger (Michael Campbell), joked about
selling tickets to the event, and commented how he would
LOVE to see it happen:
http://www.dejanews.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=419334074
"I would like nothing better in the world than to watch

---GothTiger
Does Burned Fur support violence? That's not the issue.
I think the real issue here is:
ARE THESE THE PEOPLE YOU WANT REPRESENTING BURNED FUR?
Burned Fur wouldn't be struggling for support if it weren't
for extremists like these guys. Maybe it's time Burned Furs
need to seriously ask themselves who they'd rather be
associated with: Reasonable folks like Darrel Exline who
actually want to improve things in this fandom, or folks
like Hangdog and GothTiger who just want to continue
swamping alt.fan.furry with flames?

It looks to me that Clint here is speaking genericly. He is saying that he
will put ANYONES head though a wall if thet think the page isn't preforming
it's intended service, he will put that persons head through a wall.. *shrug*
it just doesn't look to me like he is targetting you specifically.

Xydexx is not a liar.
Maybe Hangdog thinks he can rewrite history.
Maybe he thinks I wouldn't call him on it.
Maybe he disrespects the intelligence of everyone reading his posts.
Maybe he'd like me to be his "special friend".
I can do that.
He won't like it.

It's hardly the "we're not violent" image that Hangdog would like you to
have seen. Even by your own admission, Clint is saying something to the
equivalent of "If someone thinks that this page isn't informative, I'll
put [that someone's] head through a F**cking wall".
That makes Clint a danger to practically anyone he runs across,
given his childish "me grog" intellect.
"The page? Oh, I didn't undertand i..." *WHAM!*
"I didn't see it ..." *WHAM!*
"It didn't make sens ... " *WHAM!*
It can be generally inferred that Clint would be just as violent to Xydexx
as well as anyone else unfortunate to cross Clint's path. Maybe the rest
of the BF (well, some of them) are not violent, but Clint's history of
threats is well-documented. He also threatened TWoolfe, if I remember.

StukaFox
Quid Pro Quo
Sorry to disappoint you but it DOES sound like he is specifically speaking
about Xydexx. Also, he admitted he was referencing Xydexx later.
Also, this (Clint Forester) is the same guy who went nutso wacko on
Purrsia.yerf.yap and began posting obscene, berserk tantrums which cursed
everything and everyone under the sun for no reason and to no end till the
moderator removed him. Quite literally, crazy. Seems he didn't like the people
there either.
At first I just thought he was speaking out of his sphincter when making
physical threats against Xydexx. But after witnessing his actions on
Purrsia.yerf.yap, I'm not so sure he would be able to control himself if the two
came face-to-face.
No, he just doesn't tell the whole truth, which is essentially the same thing.

He does not bend the truth or misrepresent facts.
I know some people who do - can you name them, Gothtiger?
There's a whole list of them on a page, plus Squee's rant.
Honesty is not exactly a "shining virtue" of the BF.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAH!!!
Farlo the Gormless cranks off with yet ANOTHER empty threat!
Whatcha gonna do, Gormless? Another post to AUK? Mail-bomb him?
Launch one of your pathetic lame-wars? Christ, you are PATHETIC!
33-year-old guy sitting at home, pretending to be a dragon, and
worse, trying to pretend he's a bad-ass on the Usenet! If he
was like 16 and in highschool, I could understand this. But
he's damn near a middle-aged man!
Gormless, do I need to remind you how badly schooled you got
LAST time you tried this stunt? How you had to run off the Usenet
and go into email because of the severity of the scortching you
so rightfully recieved? How you had to run off to alt.usenet.kooks
to try to find someone to back you, only to find Tim "Wanky the
Wanker" Thorn, the lamest flamer on the Usenet? Couldn't even post
with your own account, Gormless, you had to hide behind Deja-News
and made damn sure the URL to your little circle-jerk newsgroup
was well hidden, lest the flames you tried to direct at me blow
back and incinerate your sorry ass.
Puh-fucking-thetic.
Now, with your ass still glowing from the last flaming you recieved,
you're all fulla piss-and-vinegar again and trying to start ANOTHER
flame war! "He won't like it". What an empty threat! Look, "Farlo",
I know reality to you is as alien as the Book of the Dead written
in Chinese on a Martian's ass, but let's try to drop the dragon act
for a second and take a look at it, 'k? There's NOTHING you can do
to Hangdog. You can't flame, you mailbomb and your account is vaporized,
no one on alt.usenet.kooks wants to play with you, and compared to you,
even at his worst, Hangdog comes across as the Voice of Pure reason
and doubtlessly sounds like Charlseton Heston vs. your Emo Phillips.
So, for once, for ONCE in your life, do yourself a favor: QUIT TRYING
TO ACT LIKE A BADASS WHEN YOU'RE NOT!
Oh, and one more thing, lest you forget your last foray into the world
of Flaming: SPANK!

Well, then you have my permission to bitch and complain the next time
I do this again. Consider however, you did some simlar things way back

Curious - months of flames and nobody's ever asked that before.
I stand for personal freedom of expression, particularly artistic
expression. I stand for the right of the individual to be an individual.
I stand for personal growth and the exercise of personal responsibility.
My opinion is that dragging other people down to build something up is
inherently a bad idea and doomed from the start.
I want furry fandom to have many diverse and wonderful people in it. I
want wonderful stories and beautiful art. I want everyone to feel
welcome, without crapping on anyone else.
Last, I want the BF to produce something positive instead of being the
main source of anxiety on this newsgroup.

This argument goes only for those debating an issue.

It's been TRIED.
I killfiled them for weeks, and totally ignored their existence.
It solved NOTHING; when I emptied my filters, there they were -

Well said. -:)

Okay, but things seem to be starting to settle down now. If either "side"
keeps trying to get the last word in, it isn't going to lessen the anxiety
here.
I'm willing to give BF a chance to produce something positive and see what
they come up with.

Pal, if there's anyone online that should be blamed for canceling
MST3K, it's David Diwight Gonterman
There was a MiSTing of one of my stories (Sailor Moon themed) that
gave me so many flames that I made threats--including real life
versions--of retaliation to anyone who MiSTed anything of mine any
again. Apparently Mike and Joel heard of this. (Is my ego too big
<smiles>)
Well, to be honest, they wouldn't say it was me, but I did blew up
Trenchcoat Mafia style for a MiSTing of a story which gave me more
grief--including multiple mail bombs and my web page being hacked
into--than any file that I made myself. And they claim that they're
not responsible. (Now I understand why those two poor bastards bombed
their school)
As of right now, me and the MiSTing crowd is trying to patch things
up. I even did a MiSTing of--get this--the Burned Fur Manifesto!!
(And I'm a BF myself) Although I still state that my stuff is off
the dib list, the smoking of the peace pipe is definitely going on all
around. It might take a while, but my personal healing is under way.
I'm rambling, and it's off the topic, so I'll shut up now. :/

Okay, but do you see how some people that (not just) the Burned Furs are
annoyed about are already dragging people down, just taking some of the better
known problems like the Loaded interview?

I'm perhaps not so welcoming. I too want wonderful stories and Beautiful art,
but there are some forms of diversity that are more distructive than the worth
of their contribution, if any.

I don't know if they are, but I do know that it takes two sides to have an
argument, and if you were to take yourself out of it, the flames would fade.
Think about what percentage of your posts in the last month or so were part of
some flamewar?

Cool ... although I feel quite odd adding to a BF manifesto.
What did Dr. Manhattan say in the Watchmen comic? "It doesn't end.
Nothing ever ends."
Seriously, though, we'd probably see even less of it if you'd make up
your mind to be too tired of it to continue as well. Everybody that
decided to give it up helps, no matter which side they're on. How
much it helps depends more on how loud they were than on whether they
were "right" or "wrong" or like that there.

(Disclaimer: In most of the recent arguments, I don't think *either* side
has been "right", I think they're both wrong. So there, nyah!)
I've gone and read this, and I think it is worth recognizing as a
movement of its own. If we refer to the people who follow this tract
as representatives of "BF2" or "M2", and they likewise refer to
themselves that way, it will help to distinguish them from the
exclusionists and witch-hunters, and the "New Burned Fur" can gain
recognition as a positive force for all of us.
I would like to see a new signatory page attached to this "Manifesto
II" once it is finalized, so that everyone can see who prefers the "I
want this to be a fandom for everyone to enjoy" version and who still
prefers the "push out the hacks and pervs" version. The exclusionists
will no longer be able to maintain the illusion that they are legion.
Everybody's been "burned" by something or another in this fandom (a
lot us by the BF1). I am by nature not a club-joiner, but if it is
made clear that signing your name to the new manifesto does not imply
support of the earlier documents of fire and brimstone, then I would
probably add my name to it.
The slogan "Assume Nothing" greatly appeals to me.

Lemon curry?
Can our party curry favor with those that favor lemon curry by offering them
lemon curry party favors or is this idea a lemon?
Well...I don't see it so much as a separation as a clarification.
Since one of the two major complaints of M1 was against those who would say
"you can't be furry unless...", BF strikes me as anti-exclusionary to that
extent. The flip side of "You can't be furry unless", of course, is "You
can't be furry if". Among my acquaintances are a possible zoo and a
lifestyler, both of whom a) buy more furry stuff from more furry creators than
I do, and b) are polite in the fullest sense of the word. They don't harm the
furry image in any way. Somebody wants to throw them out of furrydom? I'll
leave too, thanks.
The FAQ does say BF isn't a witch hunt, and that should be adhered to.

I figure if the Generic-Mart can sell both comic books and (yuk) Hustler*
there must be a middle ground...(and the Proposal actually says that even
pushing out, etc, won't help).

There will be a line stating that endorsement of M2 implies nothing but
endorsement of M2.
* And in one generic-mart down south they were selling books that -- but no, I
MUST have been hallucinating. Not within driving distance of the studios of
the 700 Club.
There is no religon on earth that would be so cruel as to prevent a man from

I see many of the claims of "furrier than thou" and "You can't be
furry unless" attitudes to be representative of weak-minded projection on
the part of insecure individuals. Lancid's example of one incident was
far too late in this mess for me to give it any consideration.
Face it - I have the biggest antiBF maw on AFF, and I NEVER come off with
crap like "Oh, you're not a real furry because you're not 'X'".
It is yet another BF strawman.

Then I must ask, what would you accept as evidence that such things happen?
Even if such things do not happen, is there reason to refrain from opposing
such declarations?

(Disclaimer: I blame them for making Stukafox forget to blame them for

If there were someplace to sign that said "I endorse M2 and I also reject
M1" I would sign it in an instant. If there's just a place to say "I
endorse M2 and say nothing whatsoever at this moment about what I think
of M1" I would have to think twice about it.
While it's unfair for anyone to assume what somebody's position on M1 is
based on their support of M2, it's inevitable that someone would assume
such things, about me or anyone else that endorsed it. Some would wrongly
assume I support M1. Some would assume I at least don't oppose M1
strongly enough that I would prefer to see it removed from the BF web page.
But I do oppose it that strongly. "I remember when maximum cruelty was a
bad thing", as someone said recently. :X)
Some people take the attitude that if anyone misunderstands your
statements and actions, it's THEIR fault and you should blow them
off and not worry about it. But my attitude is, if you want to
communicate, whether through art, writing, movements, manifestos,
or computer games (which I delude myself into thinking I've gotten
published), it behooves you to think of how to express whatever you
want to express in the clearest way possible, to minimize the number
of people that will misunderstand you. (There'll always be a few,
but hopefully you can KEEP it few.)
I think a spot to indicate that I support M2 and oppose M1 would cause
fewer people to misunderstand my position than if I could only indicate
the former, and get lumped together with a bunch of people who have
widely varying opinions on M1 but all support M2. We've all seen that
groups on BOTH sides of any argument will tend to unfairly stereotype
any group of opponents they have that hold widely varying opinions, and I
don't want to get stereotyped any more than I already am thanks. It's
bad enough that people think I have the same spiritual beliefs as every
other person that's into sticking bananas in their ears. That's just not
true, we're all very different. All 3 of us. :X)

I would probably just state my opinion on the newsgroup instead where I
could say "I support M2 and oppose M1". But then, I suppose I just did
that, didn't I? Ok, you don't need to put ANY place up for me to sign my
name now, I'm all done. Go ahead and put up a place for other people to
sign their names to tho if you want to.)

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and I've decided to drop outta
furry politics despite being ahead in the polls. Besides, there's no
telling when someone is gonna dig up those pictures of me in a
compromising position with Xanthar, so I better quit while I'm ahead.
Oh freedom, horrible horrible freedom! The pony is unleashed now!

This is nothing compared to the nuzzling that went on in the Dr. Otto's Moldy

were serving unidentifiable potted meat products at last year's Secret Furry
Order of the Ceramic Dalmation Party, and started flaming furries because
they replaced all the Tickle Me Elmo dolls with a bunch of ceramic
dalmations, and people were threatening to steal that giant Hummel statue
over in Tarrytown, NY or build dozens of screaming snowmen on the railroad
tracks. Someone even went so far as to put a near mint condition Wurlitzer
jukebox on roller skates and send it down the entrance ramp to the Cross
Westchester Expressway, much to the chagrin of NYC commuters.

*******************************************************************************************************
Into paradise go those aged priests and those old cripples, who all day long and all night do cough before the altars. With them I have
nought to do.
But in hell I will go, for to hell go the fair clerks, and the fair knights, there go the fair and courteous ladies, who have friends two, or three together with their wedded lords.
And there pass the gold and silver, the ermine and all rich furs, harpers and minstrels, and the happy of the world.
*******************************************************************************************************
In a related incident, a person or persons unknown recently made off
with the whole of North Tarrytown. Authorities are baffled as to a
motive, as the street value of actual streets is quite small. Some fear
this may be a sign of a new international blackmarket trade in NY
villages.
Rumour has it that the hamlet of Chipmunk was one of several such
communities spotted last month at an auction in japan, where such items
are often displayed in the home as a sign of prestige.
The real answer though, may be far less glamourous. According to NYC
police spokesman and veteran officer Francis Xavier Lipshitz,
buildings have also begun replacing the hood ornament as the status
symbol of choice among inner-city gangs:
"Oh yeah, those brownstones and stuff are real big with the 'bangers.
I remember, a couple years ago we busted this one kid who had the old
Waldorf-Astoria on him. This kind of thing happens more often then you'd
think. They just shove 'em in those big pants when no-one's looking and
walk off."
Officer Lipshitz refused to speculate on whether Urban gangsters may be
expanding they're tastes to include rural towns, though.
To this date, however The village of North Tarrytown NY has yet to be
recovered. The entire story will air next month on a special episode of
America's Most Wanted to be hosted by Bob Villa. Anyone with information
leading to the whereabouts of North Terrytown is urged to contact their
local authorities, or Old Home Journal Magazine.

I quote MYSELF for YOUR BENEFIT:
"You are ENTITLED to your opinion".
Nobody is required to like your opinion, however.
Some may think you foolish, and say so. I do.
Also, if you lie, no one is required to believe you.
Stop the presses! North Tarrytown is still there, they just changed the name
back to Sleepy Hollow again. They're planning on replacing that section of
Route 9 by the Old Dutch Church with a covered bridge again and erecting
(boing!) a monument to the Headless Horseman.
It's a little known fact that Legend of Sleepy Hollow was originally going to
be a nice story about an anthropomorphic stallion who got a job as a
schoolteacher. But unfortunately Washington Irving's first draft of the story
was met with such harsh criticism he rewrote it so the horseman was a
headless monster instead.
In later years the story changed so it was a headless human soldier riding on
horseback, and not the dreaded "horse-man" which they thought frightened
children too much. Headless humans throwing pumpkins were much less scary.
Actually kind of funny, when you think about it.
Some of the rare, really OLD copies of Legend of Sleepy Hollow actually have
illustrations showing the original "headless horse-man" with a tail. You may
be able to find one on e-bay.
I think Washington Irving should be guest of honor at the next furry
