Wow. I was too busy at work last week to comment while the troll discussion was going on (plus, I don't read the Firefly board), but I just wanted to say I love the way you guys handled it, and think you set a great precedent for the future.
I'm in the slightly-bothered-by-the-idea-of chibi!lizard camp, I guess. This just doesn't seem like a place where I'd want my future theoretical 10-year-old to read, with or without an exceptionally mature big sister by her side. But I guess that's a decision for Mama Lizard to make, and I'll respond to Rebecca's sister as I would to any other poster -- based on her words, not her age. (As a side note, tho, what's interesting is that 10 bothers me in a way 12 or 13 wouldn't, I guess because 10 is still a doll-playing, Crayola age in my mind.)

(She's really not really reading all that much, or posting very much at all. She also doesn't completely get the structure of the board-- she's more familiar with text enviroments like MOOs-- so I *have* to be next to her when she goes on.)

t relieved someone else said that, as it was what I'd been thinking too
