It's not just random posters who never contribute anyways, it's not a single incident, I've been thinking about this for almost a month, it's a combination of things, it's the site itself and it's anti-furry policy.

A lot of you normal users may not have seen enough to really get the situation, but I know some of you will. Sorry I wasn't as clear with this in the first post, I know a lot of you don't post nearly as much as I do (and won't have seen nearly as much shit as it happens).

I'd don't understand.

You're leaving because of what people saying something about furries?

I'd just say screw them and move along.

Really, I wouldn't let something like that take you down.

I think you missed

http://gbatemp.net/t299435-the-abnormality...ing-intolerable

and the release thread for whatever the hell that one game was.
I've seen and posted in both, I even argued over with someone over avas like his.

But, I respect your decision, though it's kinda sad to see you go. You're one of the people I like seeing here.

EDIT: Oh. I just saw the thread.

I feel sickened at that. Absolutely terrible. How can people not tolerate others for something they do? Oh my god... Just...

You're one of the main reasons I like GBATemp.
Same here.

I haven't personally found it to really be an anti-furry environment. I haven't noticed as much things pertaining to that though, well, primarily because as you stated, many of us are not on and do not post as often as you. I consider it, in a way, eccentric. People can't always appreciate that, and I won't lie, I can't personally appreciate it. Doesn't mean I'm going to tell furries to gtfo, and I personally have not found you to offend in anyway. At the end of the blog already linked to in here, Vulpes mentions it is not pro or anti furry, but rather, the site and staff attempt to hold a middle ground as to not scare anybody off. Regardless, you have obviously made up your mind, so it's all fairly irrelevant.

Now, as for the site itself, I could find a plethora of reasons to leave myself if it came down to that. I just ignore or troll people who annoy me though. Guess that probably makes me part of the problem.

Do you understand what a furry is, in general, by definition? An avatar of an animal or dinosaur, or anything like that is not any defining factor of being a furry. Hell, it's not even a factor.

I don't even fully understand what this furry stuff is all about tbh? Is it people who's into bestiality?

Sounds like a silly reason to leave if I'm being perfectly honest m8.

Oh well, good luck.

Yeah... I think I understand Bro. I know and have seen...

I'm sorry you have been hurt by us here and I really hope you'll be good with all your endeavors. I'll miss you, man, it won't be the same without you here. I hope you'll be around sometime. Don't be a stranger.

Google for the definition, or check out Urban Dictionary. You should at least get a fairly good idea of what a furry is. You have the wrong idea there.

Well if you truly do leave I want to say thanks for all the help you have given the temp. Your answers were always the easiest to understand and you can tell you sincerely liked to help others. You never down talked us noobs like so many others do. Hopefully you can use your knowledge to take you where you wanna go. THANKS!!

I was kind of assuming that it was just a bunch of flamers that insulted people for the smallest things (examples like having animals in their avatar). But then Rydian gave us a clearer definition. So, yeah. I do know what a furry is, too.

And I couldn't care less. I can easily tolerate furries.

People will dislike a person as much and as long as they want, Rydian. It's a fact of life that every one just has to deal with. The site's anti-furry policy, in my opinion, is probably for the best. Some immature people will take advantage if there were none, unfortunately.

Leaving just makes all of those people sigh in relief while you pay the price. Giving them the satisfaction and throwing in the towel just gives them one more reason to do it to another all over again, simply because they've defeated you.

I'm a bit disappointed, since I considered you one of the strongest members(When it comes to tolerance) and one of the top contributors of the site, but I suppose everyone has their limits. It's a shame the good members/contributors are leaving quicker than I expected, but it can't be helped. However, you shouldn't let a few people's opinions matter more than the many that support you.

You know where to reach me, Rydian.
Take care

I always avoided doing that incase it was some sort of slang for bestiality and I didn't fancy seeing someone fu** a horse or something.

You...haven't been on the internet long, have you?

You can google things safely, easily.
Urban dictionary only gives text definitions. Thus, why the hell would you...oh nevermind.
