hoping they will luck into a working spell again out of sheer repetition.
It is my opinion that fluffies exhibiting this symptom are the most irritating.
11) Lack of respect for other religions.
Pulling the "Totems" from Native American spirituality, mixing it with Quetzocoattal,
adding in Finnish runes, using the didgeridoo of the Native Austrailians (especially if
female) and then dissing the Koran as a hate book is one example. There are many
others. These are the people who will gladly pull from any tradition and practice, even
mutually antagonistic ones, without regard for propriety or cultural taboos. They are the
ones who will walk up to a Native American Medicine Man, and call him a witch to his
face (okay, this is a little obscure. To the Native American mindset, to my understanding,
a Witch is one that causes harm and kills by Medicine techniques. Doing this would be
equivalent to walking into a meeting of the NAACP and calling everyone there a
"nigger" because it's what the homies call themselves. It shows a fundamental lack of
respect.) and think that this is a high honor.
Does this lack of respect actually matter to the average fluffie suffering from this
symptom? Not in the least. She won't understand why the Medicine Man won't talk to her
anymore. She doesn't understand why no one will teach her how to play a didgeridoo,
and why people laugh at her when she proudly claims that her Goddess is Kali and that
her God is Gilgamesh (she heard the name in Star Trek and liked it).
Never once does it cross her mind that there may be taboos that don't allow for a woman
to play an instrument meant EXCLUSIVELY for men, or that her Goddess is a killer, no
matter how many flowers she puts on her, or that totem animals are friends and
companions and reminders, not deities. None of this seems to matter. If talked to about it,
she will pass it off as being Eclectic, which is a good thing, right? I mean, let's forget that
the Romans came in and killed the Celts, conquered them and that the Roman
legionnaires called upon Mars to help them do it, and let's forget that the Celtic Goddess
of War was called upon to help the Celts defend themselves, let's put Mars and the
Morrigon into the same ritual, they are both deities of War, right? Let's forget that Loki is
a god that caused the Midgard serpent, and that the same serpent causes Thor's death in
Ragnarók let's put them together in the same ceremony to promote peace on Earth since
they USED to be friends.
This attribute pairs nicely with the lack of research.

12) An inability to take constructive criticism constructively.
They always take it personal. Any criticism is a bad thing. You are surfing the Internet,
find a fluffy page, see the HUGE factual errors about 9 million dying in the Burning
Times, send a polite e-mail to the website owner in question suggesting that they may
want to check out THIS LIST of 50 pages from reputable people who have come up with
about 50,000 victims, and you get a nasty gram back. Come on, this has happened to
YOU surely.
It always confuses the living daylights out of me since the initial e-mail was polite to the
