Just leaving in the intelligent parts...

For those who disagreed with MniJ's assessment, thank you. There are times when I agree with his assessment; but I reckon I've got as much right to stand on a soap box, vent, and harass the passersby as the next person. This place is good therapy for me: Intelligent people discussing topics I love (music, drama, social sciences). I do try to treat others with the respect and admiration they deserve. ...Even those whose opinions I disagree with.

The only time I make an exception to this rule is when someone is intentionally rude, like: "Southern accents are definately (sic) not cool", or otherwise denigrates fans of Firefly. ...On a site dedicated to fans of Firefly (hello?). Then I can get a little ungracious, and I'm not particularly apologetic about it. Believe it or not, there are some people hereabouts who take their love of Firefly seriously; I will not stand idly by and see them abused.

Attack my logic, my ethics or my sense of humor if you wish. If any of it sounds like 'reason', I'll debate you. But if you're just here trying p*ss into the community watering hole, well, we got a whole different problem there... I don't think you'll find many on FFFn that will tolerate someone slandering Firefly or Joss Whedon, let alone join you.

Mildly Amused,

zoid

P.S.
I am definitely not MniJ, P'Belly. ...but I was in the 6th grade once, which means MniJ should at least be three times better at that than me. (NB: In the 70's, we used to call that kind of humor a 'cut'.)

AnotherFireflyfan:

Yeah, I thought MniJ's post was kinda cute, too. And like I said, I tend to agree with him: I use a lot of complex sentences ('to many commers'), my reasoning can be convoluted (ask Mmmm-a-licious), and my often perverse sense of humor may not be appreciated by all. Guilty on all counts.

But I don't think I've ever intentionally put someone down, unless they've asked for it by being insulting to the fans on this site. I don't think I'm 'a hater', even if I am -- help me out here 'Lish -- 'twisted', 'convoluted' and with lots of 'cul-de-sacs' in my brainpan. I consider those descriptions my endearing traits.

Y'all could always take a poll. If the majority of the people (who have been registered for at least a month or so, to avoid manipulation of the results) on FFFn don't think I'm adding anything to the discussions and want me to leave, I'll go, and no hard feelings... Lurkers encouraged to de-cloak and participate. If the vote is 1-0 that I should vacate, I'll lose the site's address, forthwith.

Curiously,

zoid

Yeah, but I don't want to be that guy at the party that everyone wishes would leave, either. You know the one...

So we count you as a 'Stay' vote?

P.S.
On the other hand, I agree with you: I would vote 'Stay' for everyone, no matter how annoying I personally found them. 'Differing viewpoints', y'know? I wouldn't ever ask anyone to leave, just to be cognizant that this is a Firefly fansite.

Still, I think this'll be fun and enlightening, regardless the outcome, don't you?

Zoid was kind enough to teach me how to edit my posts so I didn't look like an idiot when I couldn't figure out how to use the underline function properly. He's okay in my book. (And there were no convoluted, run-on sentences involved )

Packer fans welcome.

Sunday, December 19, 2004 3:10 AM

Free will is a bit of a double-edged blade, and whilst some may use it for purposes less than nice... Zoid is not one of those people.

I find Zoid's posts interesting and thought provoking.

So, if we are to copy the lowest form of humor (read Reality Programming) and 'voting'...

I vote... *drumroll for (failed) dramatic effect*

Stay.

I've been avoiding this topic because it's rediculous, but since it's persisted (WHY are you people letting it persist? Why am I?), here I go: I went through and looked at MniJ's posts over the past month or two, and I REALLY don't think this is something you need to worry about. MniJ makes rather inane comments about Mal and the rest of the cast, and just generally seems to not CARE about the show or this community.

Zoid, of COURSE you're welcome here. Not so sure about people like MniJ.

People, get back to talking about things that matter, and leave this topic alone so it can die!

There for a second, I was hoping you were talking about the smallish snake...

But since you were talking about 'Jonas (heh-heh), I'll say I hope he stays. I really don't have anything against people posting silliness, even outrageous silliness. Done the right way, it's entertaining and consciousness-expanding; I give you Succatash as the perfect example (although he's been way too quiet lately). Who will ever forget his Jesus on the cross last Easter, with the balloon, "Thanks for killing me!"?

But like I said, I draw the line at going out of your way to insult Firefly or its fans, without any backing logic. Further, I take exception to those who make a personal attack on others. MniJ did that on one of the other threads, 'Matrix vs Firefly', and I reacted coldly. And I don't apologize for that reaction; come into my house and take a sh*t in my living room, and I'll react the same way. It may be 'boring', but it's true to my nature.

Having said that, I hope 'Jonas sticks around, and stays as irreverent as he likes, short of being insulting. Insulting others without them wanting to kill you is the most delicate of arts; perhaps a different tactic might prove more efficacious...

Finally,

zoid

I just felt in the bumpety-bump type mood - blame it on the alcohol. .

Are we still voting? An emphatic stay for me. I thoroughly enjoy most of what you post (can't say "all of what you post" just because I try not to make absolute type statements, unless it's in a request to a bartender, then it's Absolut away ... Hmmm. Where was I?). In addition, I always get a kick out of the way you vary the closing line before you sign off (what the hell is that thing called? Opposite of salutation? Oh well. But I digress.).

The Fireflyfan community wouldn't be the same without you. Now if we could just get Succatash to brighten our lives with some more wackiness...

Not really sure when or where this Jonas got a bur stuck under his saddle, but I have to chime in w/ the rest of the community Zoid when I say that you are a permanent fixture here and the place would not be the same without you. I find your comments thought provoking and enlightening, so I am not sure what sort of malfunction this Jonas character has, but I cast my vote for ignoring him/her.

That being said, I hate to see anyone leave, but if they are looking to cause trouble I won't ask 'em to stay.

Fellow Browncoats:

Thank you all for your supportive words and thoughtful responses. I took a (not terribly risky) risk, by asking you for an affirmation of what I believe FFFn is all about: Respectfully engaging in discourse with others, whose singular interest is in Firefly. While we do stray into other topics 'in the key of life', our love of Firefly ties us together, and opens the channels of communication to discuss those other topics, on which we may occasionally vehemently disagree. At the end of the day, though, we can all be reunited by that singular unifying philosophy that Firefly represents. (Y'all know what that is, so I won't reiterate our values.)

Frankly, I'm happy to see my presumptions validated. I was fairly certain of the outcome. If I had been wrong, I would have resolutely left the site, as I promised. But mostly, I suggested this exercise to demonstrate to anyone who sought to sow discord, or randomly denigrate persons on this board by using broad generalizations, that this community knows who and what we are, and will not suffer such attempts lightly. No one can just weasel in here and tear us apart, no matter how much 'fun' they might think it would be trying.

And now, I think it's time to move on, with no grudges held against those who have perhaps had a harder time trying to figure out how to fit in... A harder time trying to say something that people will pay attention to... A harder time trying to figure out how to cut-and-paste a thousand emoticons into a single post ... So let's let this thread die now, especially since I'm getting a little embarrassed by all the love; I guess I'm not really 'dedicated thread' material. But I sincerely do appreciate y'all taking the time and effort to say all those nice things.

With that, I'll just say, "Last one out turns off the lights", (*zoid affects Michael Buffer voice*) and turn you over to... The Mistress of the Channel Changer... your favorite ThreadJacker... say it with me...

Mmmm!

Ahhh!

Liiii - shuuuus!

Gratefully,

zoid

Dude, leave embers alone. For the record, I thought embers' post was funny. The part I don't understand is why you felt it necessary to belittle embers in this way. If you didn't think it was funny, why not just ignore it? Why say something uncomplimentary, unless it's your intent to insult?

To everybody else, could we *please* let this thread die? So many good threads disappear from lack of interest, while this one hangs around like a stray cat. And now people are using it as an excuse to be uncivil toward one another.

Dejectedly,

zoid

P.S.
*zoid puts out small bowls of water and food for the stray, until she can find a home for herself; but he doesn't name her or allow her in the house*

LOL...is my face red (w/laughter)
actually in this case it wasn't my spelling that was at fault,
it was my proof reading;
I meant I was on board w/the genius thing...
not that I was bored with it...
but Zoid's response is so funny that it had me rolling on the floor

Montana Girl,

Have we met before? I'm originally from Glasgow (born and raised.) Are you still there in Big Sky Country?

I knew that was what you meant to say, but it was too irresistible to pass up.

P.S.
You are a female, right? It's so hard to write without pronouns, and I really dislike saying 'she/he'. It sounds like the physiology is indefinite, rather than 'I don't know what sex this person is'. Note to all: I do check the Profile page of everyone I respond to, and check for little personal tidbits like male or female. Y'all should at least enter that much. It's awfully hard to be polite to someone, when you don't know if they're a 'Mister' or 'Miz'.

yes,
I hadn't actually thought of 'embers' as being particularly gender-neutral,
but then in the past the boards I have been on (Buffy boards) were virtually all women anyway...
