I don't think the subtle is working, folks.
One across the bow, methinks.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Just stop feeding him, folks.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Warning given.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The newer posters in FF may not know about our aversion tactics and non-feeding strategy. Griffyn doesn't seem to have the memo.
When the troll seems to have gone should we post that bit of the FAQ in there?

Good idea.

His first post was reasonable, if combative, and people were reasonable with him, which isn't a bad thing. Then he said that Joss was simultaneously having anal sex with all of us...

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Okay, I wasn't going to wade through all 350 posts in Firefly if it was all going to be trolling, but if there's Joss RPS...

Joss RPS
Okay, can I be blind too?

I'm snerking like a thing that snerks.
I'm also thinking I know what brought the troll. Joss asked us to repost his post at other boards. I know there are times (like cancellation confirmation posts on the 13th) that the writers posts will get picked up and posted as news items by other websites, whether we like it or not. As much as we should comply and spread the word about things when Joss asks us to, if he (or Tim, etc.) make a similar request again, maybe we should disremember to fulfill it, or at least procrastinate. I'd be folding money that reposting Joss's post yesterday, is what brought our little friend out from under his bridge.
Sometimes, the reposting isn't going to be under our control, but when it is... well I, for one, won't rush to spread the jossage around.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Couldn't we just repost it without citation? Which is, I know, rather a bad thing, but it seems more courteous than just not passing on a message.
