Please at least try to spell correctly when you post, re:'Cruelly'. Look it up!

Spelling doesn't count here, I don't think.
My boss's spelling skills aren't worth beans, but he is still one of the most brilliant optical test engineers in the world, I do not exaggerate.

I'd also like to let you know, a lot of the information posted is from Web Warlock, who is NOT a Dark Angel. Web Warlock gave the Dark Angel fans that information and, knowing it would probably be biased, I came here to clear it up and see what the REAL story is.
And Web Warlock is a major creep with serious reality issues. He's one of the more vocal of the fans scorned by the death of Tara, and has been out to destroy everything Joss Whedon since the big incident. He's somewhat detatched from reality, and nothing he says should be considered rational.
And I think it's hysterical that Joss Whedon has been accused of being some huge mysogynist, when in reality, he is one of the biggest feminists in the entertainment industry. His development of "Buffy, The Vampire Slayer," was as a feminist statement, as he's repeatedly said, and his major intention with that show was to stir culture to respect women as strong individuals, as he has also repeatedly said. Even the female writers of the show, known feminists in their own right, have been consistantly shocked by Whedon's respect for women, with Marti Noxon saying "He's more of a feminist than I am" when refering to Whedon's plotting of season 7.
Whedon should be getting a big kick out of all of these absurd anti-feminist agendas he's been accused of, I know I am.

Incorrect spelling makes posts hard to read.
It's like being neat- nothing to do with professional skills or intelligence! I wasn't saying you're dumb.
End of topic for me.

Spelling is much like writing, singing, flying an airplane, and lots of other things in that you can study till your face is blue, but a portion of your performance always boils down to the "knack." Some people have a gift for it, some can study to get pretty good at it, and others will always be abysmally horrible at it no matter what they do to improve it. According to my Senior English teacher, she read that if a person wasn't a good speller by the time they were in high school, then odds are they ain't never gonna be.

Ok, the whole thing about spelling, message boards aren't exactly known for being the best place if you're a perfectionist about spelling. Just letting you know not everyone here keeps a dictionary handy to look up words so they can keep their posts neat and tidy!
I just want to make it clear that the Dark Angel fans to not appreciate the people going over to the Dark Angel Reflections boards and trying to kill the hopes of our fans. I'm just trying to make peace between both groups of fans.

wow I had no idea that there was some war between Firefly and Dark Angel fans. How silly. I never liked Dark Angel but I feel bad for you guys having to lose your show. And if it's any consolation (I'm sure it's not), us FF fans are probably going to know how you feel before long. Which depresses me so much.
But anyway, I'm new here. Seriously in love with Firefly. Thought I'd chime in re: Web Warlock. That nutjob has been doing all he can to attack Joss ever since the death of Tara. WW, as a previous poster said, is very removed from reality and should never be taken into consideration. I feel sorry for him, but I get sick of his insane rants too.
And for the record, I think Firefly has wonderful female characters. The show neither exalts nor puts down it's characters whether they are male or female. Rather, the characters are treated as human, with many levels, faults, and strengths.
I love this show.

It was a mostly one sided war. Some horribly immature Dark Angel fans took it upon themselves to "crush" the developing Firefly fanbase. It was their belief that Firefly canceled Dark Angel or some such nonesense.
These fans began trolling the Firefly message boards, throwing around horrible insults and whatnot. But the best part is that the show hadn't even aired yet! It was a pretty irrational tirade.
We had some encounters with Dark Angel trolls here, and the official message board was saturated with them. Thusly, an image of immaturity and irrationality was associated with the Dark Angel fanbase, and some of the early Firefly supporters tend to attribute all Firefly bashing to the efforts of the scorned DA fans.
I'm really proud how maturely *most* of the Firefly fans reacted to the situation... but there were a few who inevitably wanted to strike against the unwarranted provocation by the DA fans. Fortunately those people are few and far between, and most of us realise that the Dark Angel fans with so much time on their hands, who dedicated such intense efforts to trolling, do not represent the whole of Dark Angel fandom, simply the rabidly immature, socially handicaped "children" who wanted someone to blame for the cancellation of their show.
It's mostly over by now. Every once in a while we'll get a troll raising half-baked complaints and throwing more irrational insults. But yeah, whatever, it happened months ago and it pretty much over, like I said earlier.

Spelling counts everywhere, because if you spell a word wrong, people could have no idea what you're saying, or a totally wrong idea. But as long as what you're trying to say comes out alright, I think it's OK. Then again, I've been known to spell my own name wrong.
