I can't disagree with any of that, that's true.

Fanboys are always going to exist and I guess this is where the perception of the elite comes from. I guess it's whatever floats your boat though as some of the revered furs, I cannot see why people revere them so much. Yet others, who do other things, I have more appreciation for. However, I wonder if there is an aspect of institutional elitism going on as the same names do seem to crop up at all Furry Cons etc.
