Here's a thought. There are no new episodes for awhile. Why don't we just all unsubscribe, and let him talk to himself for a couple of days. Maybe he'll take the hint.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Hmmm. There is more than one person in FF I'd ENUF. Perhaps I am cranky. But there are Firefly supporters in that thread who are still on my last nerve with their behavior and off-topic Ohio/Michigan jokes.

I think just ignoring him will work fine. It's not like he's posting a lot.
What's needed to get a filtering feature moving?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'd love to see the one who's doing nothing but trolling be stomped. Not sure what I'd suggest for the Just Plain Idiots.

Frankly, it makes me avoid the Firefly thread.
Again, that's just me.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
I've been skimming the Firefly thread looking for F:IA news. Otherwise, it's just way too off-topic to wade through most of the time.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I think y'all are talking about two people. One is clearly a troll. The other is often rude but also contributes. I know that DX posted a warning to the troll on FF, but was he sent an email about it? I think that would be an appropriate step. Not sure what to do about the rude one.

Our wings are not tired.
I am 730 posts behind there already. I will have to wait for a day when I can do a massive skimmy read of about 100 posts per page. I usually don't mind ignoring and refusing to feed, but when the post counts get so high I just don't have time. Sigh and grumble.

Speaking only for myself, I *was* talking about 2 people. And, really, my issues are minor -- I just don't read the FF thread. I just thought I'd take the opportunity to mention my love of the ENUF filter-to-come.

Okay, I see our original troll came back. My feeling is to give him the boot with our big stompy foot. I warned him. I didn't e-mail the warning, but it was posted immediately after one of his posts.
