If I was wrong to post what I've posted in Firefly - dearest stompy feet - feel free to delete it. I have to leave now to see TTT. I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I couldn't keep my fingers still. However, if any of you think it adds fuel to the fire, I bow to your judgment and won't feel badly. Take care, all.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

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.

Is anybody else suspicious that our troll has parthenogenetically reproduced?
I was thinking the same thing.

If I only had a brain...
Thank you, Cindy. Much appreciated here.

Can anyone check the web logs and see if we've got two different users posting from the same IP address? Two users who aren't lizards?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dunno. If you're talking about the one I think you're talking about, his user ID number is lower than the one of the "original" troll. I find it... counterintuitive to open one account, then open another one several days later, and then start trolling using the second one. So I don't know if they are the same person.
Again, sorry to butt in the admin thread, being a newbie and all...

That wouldn't necessarily be proof, though, as IPs get recycled, firewalls cover multiple users, etc. But if it's happening with two suspicious users, yeah.
If we boot him out, is the next Firefly thread going to be called "you can take m-i-e-s-k-i-e from me"?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Babe, you're a Buffista. Moreover, you speak sense. You butt right on in.

Good god. We're everywhere. The article on SciFi.com linked to here.
I had no idea.

Two users who don't claim to have anything to do with each other are *so* unlikely to have the same IP address. And if they have the same address in postings ten minutes apart, there's no explanation other then that they are using the same computer or going through NAT, and that means they almost have to be in the same physical place.
