Daniel,
What difference did it make for me to read the thread? I made the same post here as I did on the Firefly Spoilers thread. Luckily your peers on the thread were good communicators and helped me understand the relevant issues.
There are superceding concerns that have not been addressed and others on the spoiler thread were able to sum up the issue a whole lot better and concisely - without complaint - than you were able to do.
I understand you feel frustrated, perhaps you can better understand how I felt not really following the reasons for changing the function of the thread.
Daniel,
so was the apology in the Firefly spoilers thread sincere, or is the sarcastic one above the one I should believe?
Have a good rest.
The one in the thread is sincere. The one above was my snarky response to your dig at me.
I am deleting the one above.

Suggestion to Stompy Feet
If we're not going to give the UK it's own FF thread, then perhaps the slugs of the NAFDA Firefly and Firefly Spoilers thread should be changed to reflect where UK posters are supposed to post on the unaired-in-the-US episodes, and should temporarily reflect the restriction in the Spoilers thread, on discussing episodes the UK posters have not yet seen.
Also, perhaps some sort of asteriskical ought to be a word attention getter in the Spoiler policy section of the FAQ should reference some note about our temporary policy change due to these special circumstances, and said note should link to modified slugs of both threads.
DCJ, there's no "e" in Nubian.
Do I take it from reading the overnights here that a decision of some sort has been made to use the Spoiler thread for the lucky UKers? If so, can we get some sort of announcement in Press and the main Firefly threads? I don't want to go over to Spoilers to get the details because I don't want to get, well, spoiled.
Do we have a consensus, then? I'm happy to discuss in whitefont in the mainthread, or to discuss eps in spoilers and just suck it up if I get spoiled for one of the 3 eps I've not seen yet.
(I'm kind of treasuring my limited notspoiledness, but it's not worth pissing on everyone's parade for.)
I don't think it would be fair to make the main thread include unairedintheUS ep discussion, really, because there are people who want to remain unspoiled until they've got the DVDs.

Except - UnAmeiricans had to put with this for years in avoiding the Buffy and Angel main threads if they wanted to be unspoiled. Turn about does not seem to me to be wrong in this instance.
For me, it's got nothing to do with being fair to Unamericans vs. Americans. It's about inconveniencing people for the shortest period of time. Putting the unaired ep discussions in the main thread inconveniences one group of people through the end of the year. Putting it in spoilers inconveniences another group for less than three weeks.
