and while I agree with what you said, as you can see, the septics will never back down. Anything that doesn't fit in their paradigm is to be ridiculed. It also doesn't matter that the activity of ridicule and mocking are aspects of bullying. You simply can't tell them that, either.

The problem with GD and all the other big forums is that they are "open" and completely opposite of safe havens. Even though some people may read a great post like Firstlight's, the majority of the responses will be as bad as those we saw there. I feel it's this reason why I don't see the few furries here attempting to discuss that topic, even in an accepting safe haven like our own. The septics simply will not "allow" it, or not without massive amounts of mocking.

This is also why I won't discuss the otherkin stuff on DU anymore, either (it was just as bad on DU2, so it's not new to DU3.) There are enough communities for that elsewhere, with all the kin I could ever wish to talk to
