"Internet People" in general can't stand to have bullshit called on them, their ideas, their decisions, and their activities. Add to that the standard 'furry' archetypes: unpopular in school, poor social skills, effectively zero 'power' or 'control' over anyone in real life. It's easy to see why, when they now have REAL ULTIMATE POWER (over an irc room or forum or popular fetish art site) they would treat any dissent or criticism with a sort of panicked paranoia. It's like flashbacks of Vietnam, only in their case it's flashbacks of getting slammed into a locker and given an atomic wedgie. YOU DON'T KNOW MAN, YOU WEREN'T THERE!
