I never went to AFF, already had a vibe about it being too elitist.
Back a few years ago, I probably would have thought AFF was a reasonable concept, but now I feel that such an attitude they exert doesn't do us any favors either. I see the same militant attitudes as obsessive political/religious groups have, and that can't be a good thing. No can hide behind a veil of superiority, and pretend their group is better than anyone else. Usually that actually symbolizes inferiority, as it shows that you need some kind of excuse or justification to think your better than something else.
In truth, if you did feel truly superior, you don't even need to waste your breath saying it, you just live knowing it.
