You know....
There are furries who do some stupid shit, but they're not the problem with the fandom.
The problem occur when people start a shitload of drama over something they have nothing to do with. Who the fuck cares if someone spent money on commissions instead of rent? Stop attacking people for doing stupid shit. And then stop belittling them for defending themselves when you attack them for no reason other than to hear your own goddamn voice be heard.
I hate people. As a whole, people are scared, stupid little mutations.
I like individuals, provided they show some level of competence. But overall, I just hate people.

Yes, that was sort of directed at his more recent stupidity, but it's also true in general.
I wasn't strictly defending Allan, but all Neoneon was doing was being a douche about something that really had no bearing on him (or anyone besides, Allan, for that matter) until he got himself involved. For no other purpose than to perpetuate drama.
I don't like it when people act like that. Including myself. I end up hating myself for doing stupid things, even though I do them willingly.
Thanks for having enough sense to know what he was doing >.> At least I don't have to lose faith in all humanity
I'm not really protecting Allan either, as, I have talked to him, and I'm really not impressed with the guy off my own experience. My personal thoughts on his situations was he made a human mistake of thinking he can get away with being a con artist, his donors made a human mistake of thinking giving money directly to a stranger would support them (rather than giving to a charity, and assisting him get support from a charitable organization which would have prevented the abuse to begin with.) There's alot of butthurt, the guy did something rather douchey, but short of murder, rape, physical, or emotional abuse, most things should be forgiven in time.
People also need to understand people learn their lessons, but only if theres a positive condition to actually getting better, if he's going to constantly get crap no matter what he does, whats the benefit to changing? If anything, yes, we should be publicly aware that he is a con artist, however, do not treat him any different other than not assisting him. Everyone deserves another chance, socially. I wouldn't give him another chance with direct financial assistance, but socially, I think he deserves that much.
