Sad to see you two go. I know we didn't see eye to eye on quite a bit of things, but at least we were able to communicate in a civil manner (for the most part 
). I was learning from the both of you, perhaps in ways you didn't intend either, but I respected each of you.
Good luck with RL and all the best to you and yours!

Hey, just because we disagree on some things doesn't mean we can't be friendly. Or gracious when the occasion calls for it.

You didn't get banned?
Maybe your bagelness is just less evident to me nowadays...

As do you, Chris. You, Kwicko and I seem to have similar tastes in other threads and I almost always enjoy reading posts from both of you.
I thought this might go without saying, but perhaps it does.
We all came to this site initially with one purpose in mind: to meet other folks who had a passion for a little show called Firefly. One thing that drew me was something Fireflypassenger said on "Done the Impossible". That going to a shindig is like going to a family reunion with family you never knew you had. That Browncoats all got along no matter what their background, politics, religion, etc. Unable to get to a Shindig anytime soon, I thought this site would be the next best thing.
I was a little dismayed when I came to this section and saw some of the really mean-spirited, vitriolic comments by some to others. I since learned about the history some of you all have, but I sometimes ask myself, why did you all let it get to that point? And then I realize the reasoning behind the old statement about not talking about religion and politics. Then I often wonder if this particular portion of the forum community does more harm than good in terms of keeping the good spirited nature of Browncoats alive?
I saw some "rules" posted on the Firefly Ohio Yahoo group (taking quotes from the show as the header for those rules) and perhaps we should institute similar rules here? Would people be willing to abide by them? Perhaps I'll start another thread about that later on.
At any rate... Don't want to hijack this thread from the original intent. Rue and Sig are the focus here.

Thing is, Ripper, as Finn has pointed out before, this area acts as - in his words, mind you - a "scum trap" to filter out all that detritus and keep it from polluting the other areas of the board.
I'm on other boards, and even though they SAY they're non-political, you definitely see a political agenda shining through. And you only get edited or banned if you happen to comment on it or disagree with it. ;)
This area is a place where we CAN beat each other up over the daily crap, while most of us still get along pretty well in other areas of this site.
Some boards call the RWED areas "Fight Club" - and one rule of Fight Club is that everybody has to fight - no spectators allowed. (Of course, I already broke the *other* rule of Fight Club by even mentioning it, but so it goes...)

Oh, and yes, some of the comments ARE hateful and vitriolic, but a great many of even those comments are a bit of snark, with some tongue in cheek definitely intended.
