As a decently long-time suiter, I do think I hold a rather relaxed view of things. I generally try to stay in suit at cons and things, though if I'm just at home, the head rarely stays on. Its just too warm and there's no one to dress up for, so to speak.
I think the thing to remember is that as it grows, the fursuiting community becomes as fragmented as the fandom in general, several groups trying different things, generations clashing, etc. There's no longer one right way to fursuit, and very few wrong ways.
Now I think in spite of this whole drama, all you've done is expressed your own opinion, and thats never a bad thing. You're expressing concern, not shoving it in peoples' faces like certain other individuals. And for that, I thank you.
Things change over time. They grow and adapt and we grow with them. Let the post-CSI furs run around with their heads off. Play on it in character. Make it fun. And know that the old-timers will still be right beside you, heads firmly on and stopwatches running. ;)
