Hm. What did you think of the posts on that thread at Teresa's? I comment there occasionally--more often when I have a faster internet connection--and love to read her journal.
I kept almost wanting to comment on that thread, but then was entirely unsure of what I'd say.
Also, I'm sorry to hear the message boards are down--I was just thinking of writing a short and decidedly non-canon (I think) tlands story this evening.
Perhaps I shall write it anyway and post it to my journal when I am done, and/or email it to you.
Story looked good! Prod me again in a few days when I've had time to digest it, and can trade notes with you about TTU.
(Pssst. Don't tell anyone, but even if the forums stay down, TTU is soon gonna have its own discussion space. That's the pre-production version and won't stay at that URL, but it's coming.)
As for Teresa's thread, I have another Tlands post to write about that, but the short answer is that it was educational -- and inspirational, in its weird sort of way. The answers there had less cynicism than I expected, or perhaps just more gentle amusement. For not having a single Otherkin in the thread to speak up in our defense, it seemed to pass surprisingly kind judgment -- and comments like Darkhawk's in particular made me sit up and cheer. There was a lot of Getting It there, on the meta- level at least.
Like you, I have no idea what I would have said had I been there in the thread as comments came in -- but as long as I'm going to have a lot to say and be late to the party anyway, I'm just going to hash my thoughts out at Tlands.
I doubt you know who I am, but I've been reading your journal for a bloody long time. I was thrilled that (most) of your website problems had been fixed, and now even more thrilled that you are as you say, "convicted."
After reading only the first part of the post, I was terrified you'd been convinced somehow, by someone else, to let go of your... sense of self? Your draconity? But I'm glad it merely made it stronger.

Sorry for the rambling.
