I have found that furry fandom is inherently immature and unreasonable about some of the stupidest things... even more immature than the teens who attend Anime conventions, if you can believe that!
That's why I don't play in that crowd anymore.
I think it has to do with the mentality "Furry as a lifestyle" beckoning people to the fandom who already want to rebel against set rules in the first place. The majority of members in other fandoms know that the fandom is an addition to their life, not their entire life as they know it. The majority of furry fans, however, think that being furry is "everything."
Stick with discussing things directly with the Board and you will bypass a lot of the B.S.
