My old website has been defaced...

General
Every once in a while I get little reminders that so many of my so-called kindred humans have little more than pretense for morals. Usually it comes in the form of some idiot getting drunk where I work, and while they were sober come there with absolutely every intention of driving home intoxicated. Yesterday, however, it came in the form of some mindless and faceless bastard hacking my old furnation website and then gloating about it in that very place.
I ask myself just why someone would want to do it, and I pretty much understand the reasons... if you want to call it that. People like the "Goons" who hacked into my website think that what I do is evil, that what I am is somehow disgusting and vile. Some may condemn them for such an opinion but I wont. I think everyone has the right to think how they wish, it's that principle that drives me to hate what the bastard had done to me. I would never want to rip down his own site, I would never want to smear his own opinion or take away his right to speak his mind. What worse enslavement could there be than to make a thought criminal?
I don't do *anything* that is evil, and the only will I defy by my actions is the will of those who wish to take away my freedom to act. He may disagree with me being a fur, or my persona being a hermaphrodite, or a bi-sexual, or a secular naturalist, or whatever label that fits me, but he/she is a monster and a fool. He loves power and seeks it, I imagine his morality is in seeking the favor of his fellow "Goons". He doesn't realize that by his own ways that he took could be singled out and hurt. It is a vile cycle that will repeat as it always has untill broken.
Morality is not a popularity contest, it's seeking out what helps one live in the world they are presented. I make it no secret that I don't believe in a God, and if my website were not censored by that idiot you could easily see it. I don't need a powerful being to tell me to be moral, I am moral because what it does for the world.. one I must share with kindred and not. Of course I can't say there is no deity, I actually hope there is one, and if there is I want him/her/it to know I am Moral because it's good, not because my other "Goons" or even a huge "Goon" dictates to me what is right, or what should be defaced because it insults my paper thin ego.

I had no idea they were also a bunch of pencil-dicked 4channers with the desire to hurt any furry just because of our chosen and often less-than-showcased lifestyle. I wish there were something I could do to help you from the inside, but from the sound of it I'd just be a minnow in a sea of sharks trying to find a specific one. So instead I'll just boycott the group and hope not many of my friends and co-workers will be brought into their folds, swelling their numbers even more.
I'm sorry that this kind of thing happened to such a kind and wonderful person, but please believe me when I say it looks like it was completely random, and you're just an unfortunate victim, not being sought out for any specific beliefs or acts aside from having a webpage on a furry server. *Snug*
We are often least moral when we tell people how to be, thus limiting them to a nice small existence we can easily manage.
So often we do this to ourselves to fit with the larger community, that most of us know nothing else.
I do not hold the morals of some book sacred, or even important other than how they empower man to greater things. For this some would put me to death. I live the life that they preach and fail to live them selves and for this I am alone in my home, my work, my community and my heart. What greater slavery can there bee? Yet I lack the courage to break my chains.
