I wasn't trying to tell this like I was proud of it. I've had some other issues in my life recently that have put me in a negative disposition. My friends know that, and sometimes they just like to see how many buttons they can push before they get me going. It's not like I don't do the same to them in return, we're guys, sometimes we interact in obnoxious and violent ways.

I guess in retrospect, it's not so much that they were making fun of a fictional character or an actress, but rather that they were purposfully trying to irritate me. It was their intention to make me angry that made me angry, not just the words that they were speaking. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else, but I've seen it be the agitating factor in more confrontations than not.

mink, you got it right when you wrote "but rather the teasing of himself and the slight on his interests.". When people try to down you and you back off, then they feel like they've got the green to do it more often.

This is really going off in a direction I wasn't intending it to. It seems like everytime I try and post a thread about something, it turns into a thread about people cross-examining me. The irony in this is that half of them claim that I'm just trying to get attention, which they could have avoided if they just hadn't said anything to begin with. In short; if you don't have anything to add to the topic, then don't add anything at all.

Even though it's mostly ruined now, I'm still interested to hear anyone else's stories of FireFlyFanaticism.

I once stormed out of my flat at 3:45am roaring drunk cos my flatmate said 'In the end, Buffy has no deeper meaning to it'. But I got about 20ft down the street and realised I had nowhere else to go so I went back.

Does that count?!

Nope, no stories. Well, maybe a little one. My wife thinks I'm obsessive (correctly) and gets irritated when I demonstrate excessive interest in something that to her is not so compelling, which gets me irritated in turn.

My family (Dad) just built a non-commercial co-op winery and we laid in a whole mess of grapes this year, so in about a year and a half we're going to be swimming in wine. I had this brilliant idea that I was going to make a special "Firefly" blend and create a Firefly label with the series logo and the ship's silhouette on it. She thought that was lame, I thought it was cool, we got mad, we argued, we got over it. Business as usual.

Sorry this thread backfired on you. But I guess I had the right idea. Those guys were being dicks to you at a sensitive time, that's what it's really about.

You've got to accept that other people have other opinions, frequently very wrong opinions. For example, my favourite show since I was a child is Doctor Who. And when I invited my father to watch the first episode of the new series with me, his response was "God, no. Doctor Who was crap and always will be crap."

Even those closest to you can have no taste but it would be a dull world if we all thought the same.

I don't agree with how you reacted to it but we are all sensitive about certain things and your friends probably knew that Firefly was the right button to push with you. I know it's all so easy to say "Don't be too sensitive or thin skinned" but sometimes you've just got to call the other guy an asshole and ignore him.

I'm a guy too, what's your point?

Basically, one day you're going to have to grow up and realize that we no longer live in caves.

And quit posting stories like this indicating that you are proud of the Neanderthal BS that you do and then contradict your first post saying that you aren't proud of it. I for one and getting tired of this neanderthal BS. After all, would you not be proud of what you did and post:

SerenityinScotland - Most deffinately! In fact, you get extra points because you're (pressumedly) Scottish.

Mink - Not as awesome, but still pretty much the kind of response I was looking for.

Sigmanuki - You got problems with what I say, stop reading my posts. It's as simple as that, cause I ain't about to cater to anyone just because they don't enjoy reading what I have to say.

But in answer to the original question. I do not defend. Those that don't get it are below my notice.

Well, yeah, calm down, it's not that serious. A little obsession is nice, you can bond with people about it, but too much obsession leads us to punching our friends. And that's not good. Don't let you're friends get under your skin. Especially about this. The only kinda obsessive thing about me is that I practically mention Firefly in everything that I email to my friends. I only got into it like about a year ago, so my friends are getting used to it now. Plus I always use quotes about it as subject lines. Oh, and I followed Nathan Fillion home one time.

...

Is she kidding?
