PR - don't leave us. You were one of the first people to reply to my posts and make me feel welcome!
I'm gonna miss your shiny icons and everything.

Oh my goodness, this is not good. DancingNecko I hope that you will not feel that way after this!
You are a welcome part of this family. First off, we ain't got no fine china or family heirlooms, just us here in the black.
Just us, here.. on this site.. liking this show and these stories. Feeling like family, cuz we admire a crew that made themselves into a loving family. Sharing a loss of something we love so much and would give anything to have back. That's what brought us here.
The friendships we make are what keep us here.
(Well, that and Mal's good looks j/k --- couldn't resist.)
Seriously, the friendships are what are the icing on the cake. Because these friendships are over the internet and because we can't see each other, I think it takes special care to develop them and keep them.
Ahhh, but when we do, look what we have.
Look at Done The Impossible and you will see what those friendships meant to those folks.
And what good can be done with those friendships.
You are a part of this family. Nuff said.

threads about convincing PR she's wanted, which she blatantly is, not about making me feel better, i'm perfectly secure in here, and plan on sticking around like the proverbial bad smell.
very like, come to think of it

Nooooo! You can't leave PR! 
Ain't been here very long but I know that you are an important part of what makes this site special. I know that right now you may not see it but you are.
Who cares what some ignorant posters have to say. It takes everyone to make this place special. You are a large part of that. Even I can see that and I have just scratched the surface of what this site has to offer.
Everywhere I look you are attached to a thread and inserting either some valid and intelegent points or the needed tension breaker. Not to mention the emotes. (I love emotes just don't know how to make them).
I do understand your fustration also. Since being here I have seen some strange postings by people. Some off color comments or just plain rudeness for no apparent reason.
Yet almost imediatly afterwards you and FMF and FollowMal and Mags are there to comfort the person that was attacked. That is impressive! That will be missed along with everything else that you contribute. You cannot give up. If you do then they win.
Also you will be sorely missed by all.
You do it so well. So I guess it is my turn to try....
Don't listen to them they are just looking for a fight. You cannot judge this place by these Trolls. This is the best site on the web or else we would not be here. If you go there will be less good people and sooner or later the Trolls will rule the 'verse. Please stay

Hey Cybersnark and FollowMal:
Thank you for your comments. However, it's a situation that I've noticed. Post a comment or a question on certain threads and if you're not interesting or popular or something you're ignored.
If you post a flamin' complaint in a thread (even if it's not aimed at anyone in particular), it's been taken as a personal insult and lead to threads and PMs about how "wrong" and "uniformed" you are. Go back and clean up the comments after being asked to, and the feeling is still that you're a pariah -- little better than what's been accidentally been stepped into.
(If you're in doubt, check out the last snafu regarding RiveR6213 and Kaneman. Whilst I thought the whole flamage at myself was cute and toasty, this website chased off another member on one person's say-so. While it wasn't a long time off, the fact remains that the person was chased off, and that certain persons thought they needed to play "mommy" and/or treat everyone else involved like they were under ten.)
...And (to tie into the whole thread), I looked up PheonixRose's post on the thread mentioned. The first post may have been abrupt sounding, but it was simply a refrence. The follow-up posts from others were so * snarky that I'm tempted to butt in (and probably start another round of angry threads.)
[insert incharater threadjack here]
...as for the eyeballin' me funny 'round the fine china and the heirloom silver...might've been when we were visiting those Core-bred folk to help them smug..*ahem* transport their finery to their new home. (Y'know, now that I think about it, I do beleive that the labels had "F*X" on 'em...maybe that's what Cybersnark means...)
[end incharacter threadjack]
As for the being an outsider vs. insider/"family" -- maybe the best way to put it is feeling like the cousin that most of the family can't relate to for some reason...it's nice to see him/her at the reunions and parties, but interacting with them for 15 minutes per event is enough thank-you-very-much. Love 'em as much as you like, they're still somewhat of an outsider. I don't mind enough to throw a fuss, or bother caring, but I do notice it and I'm sure that others do too at times. (It's human nature, we tend to like others very closely like us more than others.)
Edited to add:
*gentle tone to Kelkhil*
Kelkhil, what if it's one of those who supposedly come rushing in every time for everyone else's defense that starts throwing out the barbs? Because the thread name is from a snarky comment made by someone who "defends" others. This isn't only the trolls who pull things.
