Me again!!!! (Sorry. I just get very excited about me.)
Well, it looks like you guys are still flyin' since we sold out all 10 venues in less than a day! Huzzah!
Well, yeah, Huzzah unless you couldn't get in. Then the world is a dark, existential moonscape of lonely suffering. I totally get that, but here's the thing:
The Uni brass just gave me word that certain theater managers who couldn't provide tickets were... how can I put this delicately... THREATENED. Seriously. Which is both touching and, hey, totally uncool. Yes, we need to show our excitement about the film to make the world stand up and listen, but we must use the peaceful, time-honored ways: writing letters and e-mails, working booths and throwing parties, and lining up for months in front of theaters that aren't showing the movie.
This screening is an unual event to say the least, but if it makes more people grouchy than happy, then lameness is involved. So you know I'll be talking to the brass about it. If we can get something else planned for later, suh-WEET but the movie belongs to them and I gotta respect their marketing plan. And we all gotta chill on the theater peeps who have even less say in this than anyone. I'll E more when more is knowable.
We're Browncoats, dammit, not Arsenal fans! (Well, some of us are both. But peaceful, non-rioty Arsenal fans.)
Peace to th' pepps, yo! -j. (Yes, I can too say 'yo'.)

I feel bad that fan behavior has been so bad as to require theater owners to complain to Universal,
and Universal thought it was bad enough to make Joss address us!
Of course I also feel really bad for the disappointed,
but it isn't like the theater owners can do anything to help.

I hope this was an isolated incident, I'd hate to think of the fans and/or the movie getting any kind of bad press. September may seem a long way off, but we've waited this long, have'nt we?

Today, I don't feel good to be a Browncoat. How could a Browncoat have responded in such a manner?

Sounds like Reavers in brown coats.

Grrr... Arrgh. Fools will be fools, and that bad behavior just, well, "Mean People Suck!" Shame on you.
Is there anyway "we" can make an apology on the behalf of the Browncoats community to Joss, Universal, and the theature owners? We really are good people.

That's awful. I hope if people were really being threatening or violent that they are reported to the local authorities. No true browncoat would behave so dishonorably. We're the men (and women) of *honor* in the den off theives, gorramit! Not thugs!!! 
Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

Bah, that's just sickening. C'mon folks, we're way better than that.
Does Blue Sun sponser the Blue Man Group?

So I think we can all agree that the few are doing their best to ruin the fun of the many. The question I pose to you Firefly fans is this:
What can we do to let Universal know that such heinous acts are performed by only the vast minority of supposed 'Browncoats' (personally, methinks they were purple-bellies in diguise)? How can we show them that the majority of fans out there are genuinely decent folk?
The first thing that came to my mind was a petition of some sort, but am at a loss as to how one could be set up. Any other thoughts on this matter?

MAL: This is my scrap of nowhere. You go on and find your own.
SAFFRON: You can't just leave me here, on this
lifeless piece of crap moon...
MAL: Sure I can.
SAFFRON: I'll die.
MAL: Well, as a courtesy, you might start
getting busy on that, cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.
