Trolling for sex at a science fiction convention is hardly limited to furry 
fandom, nor, alas, is carelessness anent bathing at al at conventions.

Have you ever actually attended a furry convention?  Or any science fiction 
convention, for that matter (fan-run, not one of those CreationCon 
thingies.)?  One incident can multiply itself astonishingly via the rumor 
mill - I've been to every one of these things and have not personally 
witnessed half of what's been reported.
