To put it bluntly, neither the otherkin belief system or the interest
in furry is something that I consider to be rational. I may very well
end up an ex-otherkin ex-furry. By no means am I going to become
anti-otherkin or anti-furry, but the things I learned to love about
these things has waded, and due to a lost love (Silvara AKA Moontide)
and an impossible objective (Trying to become friends with a former
member of A.F.D and Alfandria who currently hates my guts) my
enthusiasm is waning.

Sorry to hear such distressing news, Starbles.
I hope that ventures into new interests fare better and may life treat you
well.

I'm still a dragon fan. I still want to be a dragon physically IRL. I
will stll mantain an online roleplaying persona. So I'm not going to
stop visiting this place. But life has taught me to be cold and
rational. There may be no afterlife. There may only be death. Or our
personalities might be wiped clean slate after we're reincarnated.
Otherkinism just isn't logical. Nor is furry. While I always thought of
furry as being an exotic form of humanity, not homo sapien humanity,
but personhood humanity, I realize just how silly it is to have a furry
lifestyle. Being fans of furry creatures is one thing. Changing how you
act to revolve around it is another.
Losing someone I love to the anonyminity of the internet, and being
hated by a self described half bastard troll half furry sex pervert,
are only two of the factors involved. Another one is my loyalty to
serious philosophy, which has caused me to question myself, and
ultimately reject my former ways of thinking.
I hope you can understand. I will also be here to try to recruit help
for my pen and paper RPG GateRunners. That's still something that
interests me.
