Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

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.)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
t relieved someone else said that, as it was what I'd been thinking too

Well, you know, it was a MOO for homeschooled kids, set up as an offshoot project from a listserv for their mothers, and some of these people were from the far right of the homeschooling spectrum. So. Yeah. That too.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
But what does "MOO," as you used it, mean???

Shit, I used to know! You know. It's a text environment, and you build rooms, and objects, and, and, I am not being articulate girl. It's a MUD. I forget the difference between a MOO and a MUD.

Um-- I don't know what a MUD is either?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
A mud is a Multi-User Dimension (or Dungeon) -- it's a collaboratively built virtual space. Sort of like Sang Sacre. A MOO is something that as far as I could ever tell is exactly the same thing, but with different initials.
