PathWalkers.Net Interactive :: Helping you along your path
witness 60 year old people turning into bratty 5 year olds before your very eyes, you will see your words
twisted like a Chinese metal puzzle, you will witness group attacks that make the Nazi Panzer blitz vs.
the Polish Calvary (still on horseback and wielding sabers) look fair in comparison. You will be called all
kinds of insulting names, your sexuality will be questioned, you will be told that you are NOT really
________ because how could say something like that and be that cruel.
You will hear from the pro-lifers (yes, Wicca has them too. [sigh] ) who will tell you that you support
ripping children out of the womb in late pregnancy abortions and that you have no clue what the Rede is
about. You will be favorably compared with those evil LHPers and ignored.
Mind you this will probably happen in just a few minutes if you are in a chatroom, and you will have no
chance to defend yourself. If it's an e-mail list, you will have it happen in about a day's span, and it will
be a recurring topic for about a week, even when the list-owner declares it too hot a topic to deal with.
And trust me, this is a MILD example. I have had this happen to me personally, and despite clarification
after clarification, restating the original premise, restating my position, they STILL take it incorrectly and
in the worst possible way.
What's all this mean when you put it together? Hopefully if you recognize yourself in these words, you
can take steps to begin to correct these problems. Correcting them will eventually lead to your loss of
"fluffbunny" status. People will actually start wanting to be around you when you approach and you will
honestly have something to say. Who knows what may happen at that point.
Other Resources:
This is the section where I send you out to other articles/essays that are about Fluffy-Bunnyism. If you
were offended by the above essay, you will want to read these resources to get a second opinion of your
fluffy status. All these are important for diagnosing this condition.

Update May 5, 2003: I never thought I would have to do this, but apparently there are some out there
who are trying to "reclaim" the term "fluffbunny" from us "evil people who think that we should all walk
around with hexes in our hands, ready to throw them." (This was a direct quote, BTW.)
THE TERM FLUFFBUNNY IS AN INSULT YOU {too stupid to know when you are being insulted}
FLUFFERS This is not a term to wear with pride, it is something to be ashamed of. It means that you are
head-in-the-clouds that you can't see when someone is kicking your shins, or ridiculing you. As proved
by the movement to "reclaim" this term.
This has been a term of derision for a while now, it generated from the "oh so cutsie" bunnies that are
sold every year at Easter, and then who are abandoned every year at 4th of July when they are not cute
anymore, but no one has the guts to slaughter them for the pot. It came from the trend of little girls (and
some fully grown girls) to collect all that is stuffed like the Unicorns, Dwaggons, horsies, teddy bears,
kitties, dollies and anything that has plush inside it. I first heard this term while playing D&D, and it was
in regards to those who were too stupid to come in out of the rain.
Life is not lollypops and rainbows. Walk down an alley with those hundred dollar bills in your pocket
and see if your "the Universe is a Friendly Place" philosophy will keep the muggers from eating you
alive. I'll stand back here with my karate and gun and not walk down the alley in the first place.
I know many people who are "Sweetness 'n Light ©" people. They are wonderful people and they
