Embrace your inner troll, RK. 
Try being a true-blue "Firefly" fan who didn't exactly think "Serenity" was all that. I catch a troll arrow on occasion myself for unpopular comments.
I think the experience of being a Firefly fan is just a bit trying for some folks and they lash out at anyone who doesn't reinforce their particular vision of theonetrueway. It's all good. They're just a little touchy from the frustration of seeing something as amazingly good as Firefly disregarded in favor of the junk that is successful on television these days.

Hey all, we don't need an in-fighting between Browncoats. We need to stay unified, even if it means letting someone else have a differing opinion. I read and was saddened by the posted article, but was glad to read it. I was also glad to see the responses. And if it got posted twice, hey, the man made a slight boo boo.
I am happy to see we have such a mix of ideas and opinions on this board. And seeing Browncoats old and new is great.
What would be handy though is to have a proper definition of a TROLL somewhere on the board, and if anyone has questions about it, they can go there.

Don't get your purple, battleshorts in a bunch....half of these so-called Browncoats are on medication prescribed by their prison doctors.
Firefly is/was a great show, but the idiots in charge deemed it not enough to sustain their crack habits, so move on. Try Battlestar Galactica, its a good prescription for Firefly withdrawl, and there are more than 14 episodes.
This "real" fan vs the fake fan stuff is really getting on my gorram nerves.

Amen RKLENSHTHRKLR (or however you spell it).
I am supreme troll of the verse. Well, I get called it alot even though I rationalize out my criticism and back it up with facts and/or reasoned arguments.
But, when people disagree with my arguments, they dismiss me out of hand with the magic "T" word. Kinda like the "N" word. Make someone less than nothing with a mere utterance of the magic word.

and PS ~ I have YET to see anyone debunk that story. I believe it's true. Prove me wrong.
No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

A troll is someone who posts messages on the internet, often inflammatory ones, to disrupt discussions or to upset their participants. Whether or not the messages are backed up by good reasoning is irrelevant. If the person posts disruptive messages then that person is a troll.

I don't know what a troll is, and to be honest it seems kinda childish. Kinda like back in high school. I don't know if there will be a sequel to Serenity, but I hope there is. I have heard that people did not like it as much as the series. Well it was different fromm the series, but Joss did say that when he wrote the script for Serenity, the fanbase was not thought of. One must think of what kind of audience is going to watch the movie. Some have seen Firefly and some have not, so you can't really make a movie with answers from nowhere if some have not seen the show. I had not seen the show. I remember vaguely a comercial about the show. But never saw the show before the movie. Its not my fault either. I never followed Buffy or Angel. I am not a Whedon addict even though I think he is an awesome writer. The truth is we can all predict what may or may not happen. One can talk about it or do something about it. Before something was done and a movie came out of it. I believe that if something else is done then another movie can come. That depends on the fanbase. I have purchased three movies as xmas presents and some firefly giftsets also, but there must be more that I can do. I think that we need to think bigger. Lets stop ragging on each other and create something. This talk of trolls is childish and personally I'm sick of these stupid games that the norm play. Its time...."I aim to misbehave". Keep it Shiny!!!

There is a great devide that lies between being a boor and being the bearer of bad news. Any group, organisation, society that can not withstand healthy criticism is itself unhealthy. I loved the series and I liked the movie. If that is all I ever get then I will be thankful for it and get on with my life. The difference between fans and fanatics is sometimes extremely small, sometimes less than two syllables. Fanantics are dangerous and we could do without them for they pave the road to hell with their good intentions and disregard reality in favor of philosophy to the detriment of all. In the end they can do more harm than "trolls" for they will not listen to reason and denounce those who would as unbelievers and heritics and so misdirect attention away from themselves.
