No barbie dolls here (and no twinkies, either), but I'm fairly sure I could find out how to say "this IS the thread for the hijacked video, so I'm staying! Nyah!" in Mandarin.

When you hijack a plane, you still gotta deal with the passengers.

Boycotting.

That's my response.

And get over it already hooobity. Join the happy people. Seriously, talk about something else with us.

---You know... I used to play with Barbie dolls. I'd paint them all over in blue and red nail polish so they'd look more interesting. Then me and my friend across the street boiled them in this big witch cauldron she had in her back yard.

Well... not to be pedantic but it's not really the definition of boycotting if you're posting in this thread. About *anything*.

I stand with my shipmates, sir.

The vidders who pulled their works, for which I find it hard to express any happiness. So you'll have to forgive me if I can't go cozying up to the people who went around slapping them yesterday.

Thank you for being civil, (I do sincerely appreciate that) but as far as joining the Other Side, as Mal might say, "It wouldn't be right".

Haken, I recommend closing this thread. While I appreciate your hands-off moderating style, there has already been too much heat and not enough light in this discussion (other than BK's great post), and it doesn't appear that is going to change.

Fine, don't express any happiness, but tone down the unproductive unhappiness please.

And I don't remember slapping anyone yesterday, so you can talk to me. No cozying I promise.

Yeah, I know, my boycotting went down the drain. I'm going with Talrius-- happy thoughts on this thread.

Current conversation: Barbie dolls-
I painted and boiled mine. What kind of mutilation did you guys subject your stereotypical-anorexic-bleached-sex symbols to?

Well, I never had barbie dolls myself, but seem to recall setting some of my G.I. Joe "action figures" on fire...

(interesting choice for a "happy" topic, Kathryn

They aren't.
They are being held responsible for their rude, insulting behavior in which they refuse to concede that they might possibly have done something that people consider wrong,and would consider wrong weather or not that person had made the VCD. They procede in such a way that people keep trying to explain the way it works to them because its a lot like watching a socially inept kid try to play with others, in that train wreck sort of way. Its frustrating to people when someone refuses (possibly is incapable) of displaying an accurate knowledge of basic social rules. Usually its assumed they don't know, and people try to educate them, but its seems to me that they are deliberatly not understanding what is going on, which is very nearly the definition of troll, though I don't *think* that is their intention. What everyone really wants is for them to grow up and get a clue so FF fandom can stop getting laughed at by all the other fandoms for haveing such crazy idiots/trolls in it. Youve no clue how many other fandoms this has turned up in as an example of bad taste troll can you belive these nuts? etc. No one in any of them seems to agree with them. I personally am beginning to wonder if they are older enough to drive, because they certainly don't act like it. I'd say more but i'm running out of time.

I would like to thank Succatash for his apology re: Twinkies. I am sorry that others were not as decent about it and continued hurling insults at you afterward.

I realize that I was not specifically the target of that comment but, I must say that after my initial anger at it, I had to step back and laugh. I hope that the next time someone insults me, they put that much thought and creativity into it.

You have said over and over that you are really more interested in evangelizing the fandom than your are in the egos of vidders.

I think you are correct that many vidders have huge egos. It is possible that you are right that they cannot realistically hope to maintain complete control their work. But, your insistance that you are correct in the face of this much opposition leads me to suspect that you also have an ego. (Now that I know that you also vid, it certainly makes sense to me that you would have one.) ;)

Just a thought - but it seems to me that your ego cares more about being right, than it does about preserving or extending the fandom. Egos are rather troublesome creatures with minds of their own and they often put is in very strange situations.

This isn't the world of Firefly. Unfortunately, we cannot go off and find our own planet when people decide to inflict rules upon us that we don't like. Might I suggest that, even though you disagree with them that you play by established vidder rules when dealing with established vidders. It is much easier to change things when you are inside "the system" than when you are outside.

I hope you get your website up again sometime soon. I, for one, would love to see your vids. If they are as inventive as your insults, they must be wonderful.

Off to watch Smallville. Boy, am I glad I have Tivo.

Oh - and to those who have been objecting to the rehash after rehash I just have to say that this has been better than the OJ Simpson trial. Thank you all.
