They're people who dress up in furry suits and get together at conventions.
Typically homosexual people are furries and the suits are reputed to be
crotchless at their gatherings for enhanced convenience. I don't know for
sure if it's absolutely true though. Does anyone know why I keep getting
religious mail from this "demonhunter" person and how he could possibly know
my existence? I live in Sterling NY...could this be a clue?

Okay, I will...they're people who think they're the animals they dress up as
and then go around trying to mount the real animals relative to what they
dressed up as. If a furry dresses up as a donkey, she (or even he) will
attempt receiving anal sex from a donkey dick. These things have been
documented throughout the World Wide Web.

Who the hell is Demonhunter anyway?

Well, being a furfan myself, I can correct you on a few things ...

1. Yes, some furries dress up in costumes, and a lot go to conventions. (I
went to the Memphis Mephit FurMeet last year, and hope to go again this
year.)

2. Homosexuals are no more common in furrydom than in other fandoms. In
fact, I met three straight furries in my first foray into furrydom, and
three more the next time ... out of fifteen furries. (I didn't ask about
the fact ... it just sort of came up when we started discussing members of
the opposite sex.;)

3. Crotchless fursuits? Whoever told you that one has an active
imagination. Fursuits have to be made of rather heavy material to hold all
that fur up, and leaving out such a vital area would result in your fursuit
falling to pieces around you. Mind you, I once knew a guy whose wolf suit
was anatomically correct ... "knot" and all. But his was an extreme
instance. Most fursuits are sexless.:)

Oh, he's just a nutcase ... snuck up on the New York Howl and chucked a
firecracker into the campfire (with predictable results), prompting Werewolf
of Sterling to discontinue it ... especially after said pseudo-Christian
threatened to do it every time a Howl got started in that area.

<rolls eyes> And of course, if it's online, it has to be true. Sorry,
love, but I'm also a member of furry fandom ... and if you were any farther
off target, I'd be downloading your message from the Siberian servers.

Furry fandom has nothing, in and of itself, to do with sex. It's being a
fan of anthropomorphic animals in art and other media (cartoons, computer
games, etc.), and nothing more.

Yes, some people in the furry fandom go in for bestiality (the "mounting"
you refer to). They're a completely different faction from (and much lower
in numbers than) the fursuiters, however.

Yours in furry fandom,

I wouldn't have discontinued the howl. I would have set up a new game for the
one next year, called "hunt the Demonhunter". It would have been fun.

See, everyone piles onto the guy when they find him, and they pants him, then
set him running off through the woods.

That's better. I'd just never heard the word pants used that way

I'd hate to think what sort of weaponry he'd bring to the next howl if
the chasing doesn't scare him away permanently.

Oh, there's always that danger--but then you have the law on YOUR side. Small
consolation if anyone's hurt, but a permanent end to the problem, and a menace
put where he belongs.

Besides, if you watch for him at the next howl, it's a better than even chance
he'll be caught again--jump him before he can pull anything, and you can disarm
him.

I guess it's just good we haven't seen/heard from him in a long time (have we?).

Better than even. That's a scary way of putting it.

In response to Wanderer's comment...

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU for clarifying that! I, well currently, am on
the border of fandom and wereness (I'm in the process of, well,
finding out my wereness, if I have it, if not, I'm just as happy a
Furry (but kinda disappointed)) and I am not at all a Yiffer or a
beastiality freak and I generally look down upon those who are only in
it for the sex. No one I know face-to-face knows anything about this
yet, and I fear that they will not be supportive. I'll get over it.
But anyway, THANK YOU Wanderer!

(Well there it is. My de-lurking. Hooray!)
