Just read back through the thread to catch up. Fortunately what I was going to randomly say fits in with the conversation. You do get a lot of hate, but I think it's more a misunderstanding of the culture because of media. Fortunately, most people don't know what to do when you turn to them and say "Yeah. I'm wearing a tail. And don't pretend you don't want to touch it and play with it." My dad says something every now and then, and I tell him he's got a pass for being an old man who doesn't even understand how we learned to control fire, but you're going to have to get over it and get over it fast, or I will eventually not be able to tolerate even you. Let me get you two rocks to bash together. My point is you're a dinosaur.
My dad puts up with a lot. X.x How does he even love me anymore?

I'm about to go write a short story on the thread, but Peg, I'm so happy to hear you're adding more to it! I can't -wait- to read what you come up with!

What everyone comes up with! *hops around all excited*
