If I cut and pasted say... "the bible" here do you think anyone would read all the way to the bottom or would everyone just scroll down?

...I'm still trying to figure out if this is a joke or not. Oh well.

This is just too funny. I seriously thought you were joking for awhile today, Steve.
I don’t mind saying that that was my conversation with you. Whoever your friend was, thanks for having Steve remove names later today, it was a nice thought. But, yes, I played the part of “TROLL”. Hehehe. I didn’t know you would be saving that old talk we had for the future to make a case against regulars on this board who you are calling trolls. If I knew it was going to be posted for everyone else to see I would thought a bit more before I typed, not simply typed in a quick conversation style as I was. If you remember, I didn’t want trouble started on the main board, and since you couldn’t get in to chat, we choose to speak in the bigger firefly tag log thingy, off of the main pages, in a place where I had hoped everyone else wouldn’t have to be dragged into it.
The first time I saw that you posted our old conversation, I thought you had simply copy and pasted the entire thing onto the page for everyone to read, (which I still thought was a bit rude without asking permission, but more understandable) but later when I went back to read your whole message I realized you omitted things from the beginning, middle, and end of our talk. You didn’t post the part where we were civil and said hi, or where you had asked me to tell you why I thought people were upset with you, or where I mentioned that these were all my personal opinions, perhaps not what everyone thought. You removed the parts where I spoke about the chat room, and I said hi to a few people for you. You left out parts where I apologized for being blunt because I was upset. You didn’t post the end of our conversation where you said thanks to me for giving you the heads up and where we fairly nicely said goodbye about six times. You also wrote me in as “TROLL” next to things I didn’t say, you did. Not that I wanted that posted here in the first place though, I thought that to be a personal conversation between just the two of us. Silly me, I even thought I was helping you out when you asked me. Telling you why people were upset when you asked in hopes that it would help you get along with everyone better.
Even though now when I look back at it, perhaps I would of worded things differently, I still stand by what I said-- if you cant stand this board or it‘s posters, leave, go to another board if you want, no one is holding you here.
Everyone was a little weird and panicky those first few days after the fox board went down. OB’s lost their board, and many of the Fffans felt like there was a flood of new members on their board. It seems like a few people are still holding to their hard feelings from the first few days since the board went down, but other than those few, it looks as though the OB’s and FFFans have mushed together quite nicely.

She's lucky that ruttin chat was fubaring my copy/pasting
,she was extremely arrogant ,condesending ,rude and
full of it to say the least.
Even though I didn’t think we were friends, I thought we parted on friendly terms, again, silly me. I hold no hard feeling for you Steve, if I knew where you were in Ohio I would kiss you open mouthed. I might just have to find you for that. *wink, wink* And whoever that was who called me a bitch, foxy something, I’ll kiss you too.
Oh, by the way, what did our conversation about the tag log and someone calling me a bitch have to do with Tzegha posting fan fics and Tash not liking the people in a chat room that isn't even this boards chat room? I’m pretty confused too, Maniac.

I'm not exactly sure what happened with Tzegha, only that she felt hurt enough by what was said that she felt the need to pull all of her stories from this site and post them elsewhere.
As is our custom, she came to the Loon to share her feelings and get some support. I don't know if you have ever spent any time in the Loon, but it is a place where all are made welcome, even those you may be arguing with in another thread. She did not go into details, but just told us she had removed her stories.
Steve spoke with her privately and felt the need to defend her somewhat, apparently he felt he had also taken some flack here. He emailed me your conversation and while I may have overstated the case by calling you a bitch, for which I apologize, you must admit that you weren't very nice.
I think he used your conversation as just another example of the poor reception some people feel they have gotten here.
I'm not saying our forum is perfect and that we all always get along. There have been fights, nasty ones. And I'm usually one of the people in the middle trying to patch things up. But, for the most part, we treat each other with respect. Afterall, we are all Browncoats, we all fell in love with the same show. We have, at least, this one thing in common.
I have made life-long friends in the forum, they have already seen me through some tough times, and I like to think I've helped them too. Isn't that much more important than proper spelling and punctuation?
I'd like this to end here, and hope in the future we could all get along, but that is probably a pipe dream.
Just the same, take care, keep flying,
Karen (northernredfox42) aka foxy, red, and in the forum, simply redfox42.

I do agree that by the time I had this conversation with Steve I was not very nice. Steve and I had spoken before, short messages on the tag log and such, so by the time this conversation came up, I felt like I was beating my head against a wall, repeating the same answers to questions he had asked over and over before.
I also want to point out something Mag mentioned the day before, we’ve always had disputes on this board. Heated political threads, long ass threads that shall not be named, and so on, but from what I remember it was not such a personal thing. Of course you may remember the name of the person you disagreed with and argued with for weeks, but in other threads, you were still nice to each other and didn’t insult them outright for something that went on in a completely different discussion. Lately that’s changed and instead of letting go of those bad feelings from the first few threads and being civil to each other in new posts, we are holding on to a pointless resentment from I don’t know, a week ago? And dragging it into every new thread that pops up. I’m not blaming it on the members of the official forum who came over here, but I do think they noticed it as perhaps being different from their board and took it personally while some of the regulars here were more apt to let it go. Then everything snowballed from there and everyone went on the defensive standing up for their friends and their board. But I think it’s quieting down now, probably because everyone is just too tired of it.
And lastly, as I beat my head again against the dent in my wall, the spelling and punctuation was never that big of a deal. Some people have just taken that complaint and run with it, I think it’s when other people can hardly understand a word that you’re typing that it becomes really annoying.
Oh, another "lastly"-- I don’t see why we cant be friends, though. I still think I’d probably kiss you if I met you.

That's why yer so dang cool Kayt. You'll make up with people who annoy you and even think they deserve a smooch! What a great gal! We need more like you.
And as a side note, since you and Steve posted in the area where I usually jabber on with sweet Koffee, I saw everything that you wrote. I was in fact lurking at the time, watching you both type.... sorry. (Thought you needed some alone time.) Anyway, I did notice an absence of completeness to the reposting, just as you said. I would have liked everyone to see that you and Steve left talking on a "tolerable" footing.
I also want to say regarding the spelling issue, that I purposely spell incorrectly when I am typing here, because it's fun. I have a degree in technical writing, but danged if'n I'm gonna spell like a computer when I'm tryin' to get across my colloquialisms.

I dont believe steve intentionally left parts out.
I think he just copyed what he could.

Except that it seems she wasn't lucky, as it sounds like the parts that got left out (or fubared) were the parts that showed how cool and thoughtful Kayt is.
