Wow. Sounds like your negative experience with furries mirrors my experience with Goreans. I don't know, maybe it's the mindset of living so deeply in your fantasy life that a significant fraction of fandom tends to lack social skills, and turns into... well, bums, basically. But it's not just a furry-Gor problem. I've come across these types in all branches of fandom, kinky or not! Trek, gamers, FRPGers, techies, and so on... For a while, before I got involved with anyone, or even let them get close, I'd strike up a conversation, and casually find out of they had a job, an apartment or home of their own, and if they had a car... funny, but once you find out if they are self-reliant to some degree, you can weed out the fannish "leeches" fairly quickly.
