Hate to see ya go, but people come and go from all sites for many reasons. I have other interests then Firefly. I know Firefly isn't likely going to return other then in comic book form, Joss, Tim and the rest of the cast are busy with other projects that will keep them busy for years. But this is a great site about a great show that I miss so if you return I'll likely still be here.

Waaaaah!

I'm leaving because I'mma pussy, who can't take any arguing, and I'm mad that I'm not automatically respected, that people don't sing Kumbaya here while saluting the flag for which I want it to stand and anyone who argues with me MUST be a troll so I'm going to throw a hissy and pretend I never came here and delete everything...


'Bout sums that up.

I told you not to come in here if ya couldn't handle it. Looks like I was right.

So long, buh-bye! Hope you find that Tahiti is a *magical* place!

Yeah, 'cause nothing says "respect for others" like calling them lizards and trolls, right???

I never called you names, son. Your problem is that you just can't form a factual argument, and yes- you ARE thin-skinned. It's a combination guaranteed to cause trouble - for you.

Ummm... also, this is the Real World Events forum, not the make-believe forum. Go find some great patches, be a Browncoat in your imagination and Alliance in real life, and be happy.

According to my estimation, 'MIKER' was here to make this place a bit more interesting for a time to the person who created him. But, with mission accomplished, the strain on maintaining any sense of consistency, which was thin to begin with, was a little too irritating. Hence the dramatic and reprimandive flounce out.

Oh, probably. I make it a point to take posters at face value. I don't try to figure out if there are sock puppets and, if so, who. It's something I'm really bad at, so I guess almost everyone else is better at that than I am!

Well, if we do get another soon all you have to do is look for the inconsistencies. Most dimwits aren't very good at thinking like anyone other than themselves. So while IDing the creator may be a bit difficult, spotting a phoney character is pretty easy IMO.

Personally, all I'm looking for is a good discussion. Someone who can offer some info, or history, or idea, or opinion; who can substantiate or explain what they post; read what others have to offer; discuss with others the merits of facts on all sides; and do so with at least some equanimity.

'MikeR' - fails.

Good job Chris! Chased away another one with the sockpuppet/troll accusations. This one was special though, because he pissed off both libs and cons alike, and that's pretty rare.

Oh my god, no, not an american invasion. Does that mean that I might wake up one morning and find there were American bases on our land, and that every where I looked there would be American businesses, advertising, movies, televion, fashion, language. And that our government would have to kow tow to yours on all sorts of national and international issues.

Miker, I could understand your response if you found yourself on a site dedicated to the downfall of America. But your argument doesn't hold water. This is a place of diverse opinions, some here are as patriotic to ol Uncle Sam as .....sorry cant think of an example, but you know what I mean. There's lots of humming star spangled banner with hands held over their hearts posters here, and those who are critical and those who are kinda imbetween.

So you are not on a site dedicated to the hatred of America where you have to delete your posts lest you be put on a NSA watch list. Hell, you're probably already listed anyway. Why worry?

(thinking of a joke I told Kwicko about him being on a list and some G-man standing by a printer all day just to take his file to a superior) *Sniff. Good Times...

P.s. I don't HATE America. I hate the direction we are going, I hate the people who suck it dry, and how it spreads like a plague wiping out interesting things in other cultures because people buy into our plasticity like a fad, but NO theoretically I don't HATE any country. Just irritated, really damn irritated...

Seriously, there is some truth to the hate. As a child, my country simply did
no wrong. We were the best, always the Good Guys. That's what I knew.

The Ugly American, 1958, political novel by Eugene Burdick & William
Lederer didn't dissuade me, 'cause I didn't understand it much.

But the stuff we're doin' lately and now? ... Many true Americans who've
spent their careers serving the USA are probably wondering what the hell
happened to our white hat and our principles.

I want the country I loved back ... without the bigotry & gender bias.

Actually, I am sorry to see you go. It's important to have fresh blood and points of view, because otherwise people are just having the same conversations and arguments and past-history. Even if the new blood riles up both sides, it's still interesting because they find something to unite over and find common differences.

We'll keep going despite losing you, but that doesn't mean the loss isn't felt in some way. Whatever your intentions were. Good luck Miker, and hope you haven't been soured on Firefly.

Seems the right place for this, which I thought after Frem's comment about cat-speak. I don't disagree with him, I know their mews and meows are primarily for me, but then something like this happens:

Sorry to see you go as well. This place stagnates pretty quickly without a jolt from contrary types such as yourself. I thought you were plenty thoughtful and made your cases well - sometimes, when other people don't like what you say all they have is denial and dislike - "I didn't like him," said Small Person.
If I was to be critical it would be: YOU LET THEM GET TO YOU. That would suggest their opinions are worthy of producing that kind of feeling. They are not.
