I agree with Jinx, yeah, you're in the right... buuuut.. yeah, you should also try not to post the stuff. And if you -have- to post it, keep the poor guy's name blanked out so they might not be bothered if they happen upon the forum :/.

Edited for the preservation of the other party's privacy and moved to the appropriate thread.
We're mere mortals--we all like to have a little laugh at others' expense or share an incident with the more...eccentric elements of our fandom which has really weirded us out, sometimes. But it's common courtesy to blank or change the person's name when they are in no position to defend themselves and not deserving of having rumors spread about them.
That said..you shouldn't find it weird that that was the only reason he friend-listed you for--sex is a primary, almost single-minded focus for many people in this fandom, particularly those of the younger under-exposed standings who only got in it because of their passions. And if their very NAME involves the fetish they are involved in, you can pretty much place a good bet that that's what their online avatar exists to fulfill for them. This particular person exhibits symptoms of what I've seen from furs before..those who seem to utterly forget--or not grasp--a single thing you tell them, and simply default to what they want because there is no means by which they can grasp that you are simply not into what they want.
I refer to them as LWFs...or Low-Wattage Furries.
Just nod and bid them a good day, and move on your way (and if you are so inclined, be vaguely flattered or amused that you were sought after in such a way). :3

I am going to omit names and share this story with my friends, because it is hilarious.
Oh crap, is it coward-killing time already?
