That wasn't altogether unexpected really. I was considering which of the newbie's it might be. 
Most imposters never oust themselves though. I think only Tash to date took credit bravely for having a little fun at our expense. Glad your having fun though.

Am I the only one who had the weird mental vid image after seeing South's resurrection?
----------
Southernslayer lies motionless on a table in a torture room. A hulking figure looms over the prone browncoat, pokes him twice and comments "Yup. He's dead."
:fade to black for commercial break:
An old man in a precisely made suit leans down as Southernslayer, resuscitated, coughs his way back to life. "You died, Mr. Southernslayer. But if you die, we Fox executives can't taunt all of you about cancelling your favorite series, now can we...?"
----------
Yes, I've got a morbid imagination, to plaster this situation onto the events of "War Stories".
History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it merely shouts "Weren't you listening the first time?!?" and lets fly with a club.

Hello there,
I gotta agree with your attitude, Maniac. Not a total surprise.
I was starting to see this post thing like the joke that Mal played on Simon in Serenity. Sick and bendy but ultimately harmless and something we can laugh at, but if LoveKaylee/FFF is just here to tell how lame we are then the jokes on her/it/whatever. We might be lame but we're having a blast and we're mighty 'cause we have each other.
"Not as deceiving as a low-down, dirty...deceiver."
You're gonna come with us...

I know what you are saying, but I don't understand what you mean.
Legally, once a person is deceased. That person is no more, the property - including the body belongs to someone else. Be it family, or the state if lack of family. Aside from a will instructing for their wishes and probate court, whomever holds the property can do whatever they please (ok, except for the body, beyond a proper burial, cremation, or donating to science - there aren't much other choices)
So legally speaking, there isn't anything more to anyone but their body and their possessions.
But there is difference physically speaking, there are more to a person than just the body and its possessions. And not because of religion or of philosphy or of moral high grounds, but simply because they once were, they influenced, they are remembered and therefore they remember. It's not a simple transference of possession. Whether you liked them or hated them, their memories live on, because the living have a brain and its there.
Let's say its not a diary, it's grandma's locket or someother thing. Those things are barely worth the $1.02 that the crap its made out of. But we still associated grandma and all of our memories of her with it. So, physically speaking, there is more intrinsic value than just the physical value. I think there is more to it than just saying:
"Aw, too bad, you are dead. Screw you and the horse you rode in on. Now I am going to tear thru all of your personal stuff and secrets to find out what you were really thinking privately all by yourself."

Since the dead cannot, the living must. I don't consider the dead "people". I show nothing but respect to the bodies and posessions, but they are only objects, and somebody needs to be responsible for them.Quote:
If they didn't have the right in the first place, what transpired that made them gain that right?
I'm really fighting the urge to be sarcastic here.
My thinking is that if it was private, it should be private.
If they safeguard it well enough, it will continue to be so.Quote:
And you can thinking about the person as they are without boarding up the room or tearing thru the diary too.
I was only giving a couple of extreme, real-life examples. Don't read too much into these.
It's difficult not to personify the dead. The closer you are to them, the more this will happen.
