To address this in the most general sense: One does not repost private correspondence in a public arena. This is not a rule of etiquette specific to Buffistas, or LJ, or even the internet. I've been on mailing lists where forwarding mail offlist was a banning offense, even lists of 200+.

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Aye. I emailed the fellow to ask him if he minded me bringing it up here. If he minds, I will apologise to him.
I should point out, by the way, I didn't actually mention the email. I very very vaguely mentioned the concept. I didn't accuse anybody of anything, nor did I label anybody rude. I also know the sender. I do not think there will be the remotest problem with the discussion of it.

Aside from the part where the people you want to discuss it with, don't want to discuss it?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Well yes, there is that.

If this were actually what had happened, it would also likely be illegal as a breach of copyright, although it doesn't look like this is exactly what happened. Um, 'cause I know everyone here cares deeply about copyright.
Poor Kevin, just seems to step on one toe after another here.
the copyright freak is going to another thread now...

FWIW, as someone who has (had) no idea what the what was, it wasn't Kevin's post that made it clear there was a backchannel kerfuffle. When you don't want or feel it's appropriate to respond to something, not responding is an option.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Correct. The thinking before posting rule disconnected in my head.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Browncoats,
SERENITY finished it's 4th week with a box office tally of $2,948,411. For its 4th week, it did $222,294, which was 47% off the previous week's total. SERENITY will cross the $3 million mark this weekend in Australia.
Not bad, considering there's only 20 million folks in Oz.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So what are the total box office numbers for Serenity. Did it make its budget back and a little more?
