Okay. Im sorry if others dissagree but I'd dont really see that any harm has been done. It provoked more posts which I find a great remedy for Firefly withdrawal and at the same time shows the great level of tolerance browncoats have for those not so Firefly savy and there will to help those who are unsure of areas of the show.

Oh we've been had once again by the mordant and canny wit of our one and only Succatash!
You ain't gettin' kicked off this here board: who would replace you? I personally promise that I will bring the full sinister and oppressive power of the PRH's Office of State Security to bear on those who might harrass you!
Have a nice day!

To you I bow! O great Succatash. May your forehead grow as the mighty oak.
You think I look good now, wait till you see me in my new "Browncoat T-shirt"

It's alright. You have no idea who I am, because I just joined the discusion. As you learned, it's "Mal", not "Mel". Don't worry, I don't know that much either. I just observe and answer the best I can.
And, if you want to know my opinion on Mal, it is that Mal is Mal. He's doing what he can to make a living, whether it's legal or not. He has lost a war, and feels somewhat cheated. I think. I think he does what he does to stay alive. That's all he's trying to do. I think.
Keep flyin', don't get too down. I didn't, but I've never been accused of being wrong, but...you get what I mean.

With the DVD and movie coming out, this website is bigger than life itself.
I’m amazed that Haken hasn’t kicked me out. It’s okay to joke around, but I sure crossed the line and abused this forum. But instead of punishment, I receive forgiveness from everyone, it’s amazing.
Teelabrown, along with many others, deserves a big apology for my poor actions. Here is another nice person, new to FFF, soiled by my lies.
I cooked up a big crap hot dog and fed it to everyone, and I’m really sorry.
I hope everyone knows how seriously I take Firefly and the Browncoat Prime Directive of returning the series to television. The last thing I want to do is offend newcomers, and the FFF members who come here all the time.
I still have a lot to learn, and every day is a new adventure! I’m glad you are all my friends and can teach me along the way.

There, the burn of absolution is delivered...
Feel better ?

Which gets into the definition of good and evil. A question that has plagued philosophers from time immemorial.
I think that as long as you ain't hurting nobody, nor scaring the horses, you are doing alright. And that anybody includes yourself too. If you are hurting yourself, that ain't good. If you are hurting others, that ain't good neither.
A lot of times our views of good and bad, right and wrong, depend on our perspective. What I consider good may not be good for you. A friend of mine finds jumping out of perfectly good airplanes a good thing. Me, I wouldn't enjoy it, and if I were to get hurt, it would affect my family and kids in ways that would be bad for them.
You gotta treat folks the way you want to be treated, in order to encourage them to treat you the same way. You act like a jerk toward folks, they'll treat you like a jerk. Which would be bad for you, whether you are really a jerk or not.
I think Mal is basically good, does what he thinks is in the best interest of himself and his crew, which he takes a personal responsibility for. Screw laws or moral conventions, he sticks with what he sees as higher laws and rules.

Hell, I would've done it if you hadn't beat me to it, Tash. Consider yourself absolved.
