*shrug* It's true, its hard to have a serious convo now a days but if yall are looking for a RP go to the "Live Gaming" section, these are convos from people who are serious.

Well, Wolf admits to being a werewolf all the time. He just doesn't run around saying things like "My mother was of the Fianna, and ran off with dad, a crazy-ass Wendigo, about 15 moons ago from last Wednesday"

Or.. something like that.

And it's according to what a Werewolf actually is....most Werewolves don't claim that a person can transform into something else. In fact, claiming it without evidence on most major Therian sites can get you expelled rather quickly. There is certainly reason to believe that there were people who considered themselves Werewolves in the Early Middle Ages and before but I can't find any first hand accounts of anyone transforming - just people several times removed. The ones in the later Middle Ages were obviously mentally ill. In other words, Modern werewolves can't p-shift.....but neither could the original Werewolves. That's not primarily what makes a Werewolf a Werewolf.

that's why Silver was suspected to  be the cure. It kills bacteria and germs

That's one reason many Therians favor therianthropy to lycanthropy. Psychologists would generally go for "zooanthropy" for the generalized form of "lycanthropy".

I suspect that many clinical lycanthropes are actually therianthropes with other problems. There are not many of us around in comparison to the larger human population but there are still plenty enough to have a lot of variety. I know of three Therians who also have schizophrenia. Since the only Therians that psychologists ever see have mental illnesses (since they wouldn't be at the clinic if they didn't), I would be surprised if they didn't think that therianthropy was a disease.

Yeah, I really dislike when I come on these sites and people are pretending to be werewolves. They actaully think they are werewolves, but would a real werewolf admit they're a werewolf?...I don't think so.

But the part that bothers me is the way they continuously talk about irrelevant things.

Well what do we have to hide on the internet? If we say we are a were-wolf then what is anyone going to do about it? Think about it man.

White fur?

Yes I agree with WolfMontana. Anyone that is a real werewolf would not openly say it. But then like what WolfeVC said "what is anyone gonna do about it?" and with the juxtaposition of what punxnotdead said about "no one taking forums seriously anymore" it makes a whole new ball game. Hypothetically, to say that one is a werewolf on a site and to just release some built up frustrations that one has about not being able to tell the truth to the people around him/her; and that werewolf posts that he/she is a P-shifting werewolf. The seriousness that you are a werewolf and no one will believe you over the net is just a victory for the werewolf, even if his account is banned. One can easily make a new email account and start all over again. Its that simple. What you all are denying is the possibility of physically shifting werewolves actually existing! This is all hypothetical, but I assume you can understand where I am coming from. Expect the unexpected, and do not simply deny the existence of something just because you, yourself, do not understand.

I'm a Werewolf and it didn't "happen to me". I was born that way.

I think she is using the definition of a physical changing werewolf.

On the internet, we essentially have to take people at their word.  I mean, if I were to have come on here claiming to be the transpecies triathlete 150-year-old great-grandfather of the Earl of Gloucester, who could really and truly prove me wrong?

Hey, I was born a werewolf ,had always dreamed as one, and I tend to act and think 'wolfish' there you go...
