You bring up a good point. The idealist in me wishes that we can be civil and inclusive in these matters, but the realist in me knows it just isn't possible. Call me cynical, but it just isn't human nature.
My entering into a relationship really allowed me to look on the subject of beardom from a different point of view. I'm not as down on it as I was when the Bears on Bears discussion took place. I think I'm able to enjoy the scene a little more as an observer and differently than I did when I was single. Still, the bear scene is not something of which I consider myself an active member.
Noticed in your LJ that you're a member of AGMC. How cool! When I lived in the Midwest, I was a member of the Gateway Men's Chorus (St. Louis), and we did a joint concert with AGMC both in Atlanta and in St. Louis. It was such a fun time!
