I actually think we are neither, nuts or enlightnened. I truly believe we are just 'normal', (whatever that is!), people who have found a different aspect to their personalitys, and lifestyles and who are brave and convinced enough in their actions to either expose themselves to possible ridicule or risk damaging their relationships.
From 'societies' point of view, if it had a sliding scale of 'nutiness', then we'd probably be somewhere between Trainspotters and Trekkies/Trekkers. Who, like ourselves are also just 'normal' members of society expressing an interest in something which the mainstream don't accept, approve or embrace.
