You are now a member of Torfur-Debate...scared yet?
Heyas! Welcome to the Toronto Furry Debate Mailing List, or TorFur-Debate. Here we discuss the more controversial topics of furry and world events. Basically, discussions that are not fit for PG-13 TorFur are brought here, which is unrated and open to anything you need to rant about. Keep in mind...everyone is entitled ot their own opinions, which means they're also entitled to comment on yours, so if you come here to talk about one of the many incendiary topics - the definition of furry, spooge art, burned furs, politics, religion, etc. etc. - be prepared to 'debate.' Members span from the Greater Toronto Area to London, Ontario, to Magnetawan way up north, to south of the border (oh yah, and Guelph too [shameless plug]). Here are a few bits o' info to help you along... If you're a seasoned mailing list greymuzzle, I suggest you skip down to the 'REGULATIONS' section to see the specific rules of this list...
HOW TO SEND A MESSAGE:
Easy! Just write it up and send it to torfur-debate@catsden.net! From there it will be sent to all the members of the list.
NETTIQUETTE and UNRATED LISTS:
This list is unrated...that said, you can say what you want but try to be respectful of other furries opinions. If you need to rant and fill up the screen with four-letter words, go ahead. If you want to do an academic discussion on what it means to be furry, go ahead. If you want to tell another fur they're wrong...back it up, or expect a flame war.
Also, it 'is' a mailing list, which means each time you post you're posting to about thirty people. If you only want one or two people to read your message, send it to those people. If you are unsure if the message is suitable, please contact Potoroo. Spamming people isn't nice, so make sure you're posting for a reason, not because you're bored or the squirrel outside did something funny.
Follow the rules of nettiquette: respect the members of the list, NEVER respond to the list in anger, avoid 'Same here' or 'Yes' messages, and if it's best left to private email then email privately.
REGULATIONS:
That said, there are some rules specific to the list. Sometimes furs try to be 'helpful' to the list and instead harm it, so we ask that you do NOT do any of the following:
1) Forward any message, including the email addy, to another forum or with some sort of spammy forward email. This could open us up to be spammed.
2) Subscribe this list to another mailing list...someone thought that would be fun one day and it took a long time to fix the damage.
3) Click the 'unsubscribe me from this list' button on spam sent to the list..that just lets them know we're here.
If you're unsure about something, ask me: potoroo@catsden.net
OTHER LISTS:
There are two other lists in the TorFur group: events and TorFur:
TORFUR is where you subscribe if you don't mind hearing about furry goings on or see multiple responses. It is for discussing furry events and helping each other out. It tends to have high traffic at peak times. Subscribe by visiting:

EVENTS is where you subscribe if you don't care to hear about furry goings
on or see multiple responses, and just want the lowdown on an event in
Toronto. It is spam free and very low-traffic. Subscribe by visiting:
http://mailman.catsden.net/mailman/listinfo/torfur-events
So, there you have it. Have any questions? Send 'em to Potoroo at potoroo@catsden.net
Thanks for choosing torfur-debate...this message will self-destruct in...uggh, cliche cliche cliche...
