Furries serve a very useful purpose in geekdom.

Whenever you feel too geeky for being really into sci-fi or computers or comics you can look at the furries and say to yourself "I'm so glad I'm not a furry. Those furries are the worst possible nerds on the planet." Then suddenly you feel cool about your life because you're not a furry and that alone lifts your self-esteem.

Just think...this is the same emotional response the jocks felt in high school when they made fun of you and your D&D books. You now know how they saw you. You looked like furry to their ignorant eyes.

Long live the furries. The geek food chain needs them.
