wow still building floors.. I see that whore "Citizen" is still here.

Keep climbing up and numbering the floors.. sooner or later someone will fly a plane into the higher #s. You're all still in the bartering age so in reality you are 2nd floor material.

New math? Is this that stuff where Pi/64 + the square root of evil - my body fat index * the number of bacon slices on my baconcheeseburger = walking on the ceiling, or more a Sharpie + a cell phone = dimensional portal?

Something like that. Though I think I like elliptic geometry more than hyperbolic geometry.

I always thought so. Geometry was always fun for me. Statistics was not fun, but was very useful.
Elliptic geometry is fun.

wow I must admit.. it's strange to see soooo many familiar names after so long an stint in Absentia(I've been in faraway lands slaying dragons, saving the "Earth that is", etc.). I'm surprised.

Same people, still bubbling out foamy bits of intellectual flotsam and jetsum. Pleasantly surprised. Unpleasantly repulsed at the same time. "Citizen" is like a brutal case of brain-herpes. An ITD (Intellectually Transmitted Disease). His presence here offends my carnivorous sensibilities. All that aside, I'm exuberantly under-excitedly over-delighted to see various names of various people put into these forums for the sole and express purpose of providing me mindless amusement.

Chipchip chopchop sukisuki. Amuse me some more.

right, no maths should get in now!

its been so long since we had a troll infestation - do we ask to have it deleted now or keep it around for entertainment?

where did we get to on chapters - not that i can think if any. just so i know when i do.
oh god i attempted to go blonde - not good, gone a sort of funny light brown with apricot tints. think i shall leave blonde till i'm rich or have a pet professional.
and i got an interview for that stewards job - great timing huh? ah well, of to do some research and watch Green Wing - very very funny.
'cept the staff liason woman reminds me of a girl i went to uni with - scary.

wow citizen I'm shocked. I thought you'd have enough intestinal fortitude to come out swinging but I misjudged you. Hide behind the smug little shield of being "above the fray".

Very diplomatic, very politik. Gee can we have your lackeys threaten to have anything I post relegated to the "troll" forums. Why not? You sent me there a long time ago (about 30-some floors ago). Some of the people who still post here (familiar names) were complicit.

Even after I posted your Serial-killer love-letter reply to me (which was vile and nasty from any point of view), it does'nt seem to much matter. I got trashed by you (publicly in this thread - many floors back), and you defiled my inbox with that nasty lil letter I copied into the troll forums. And now I'm a "troll". Sorry, I have a long memory. And you have a following.

I guess I'll never be popular with these people. Would never want to be. They are your flock. Gutless shepherd. They are the reason no amount of effort could ever bring the show back. What a shame.

Evil is as evil does.

Oh, thanks Seryn, I feel very safe now!

ooh, I never try to dye my hair. Not since the time I dyed it brown and instead of washing out in 6-8 shampoos it went burgundy. And then school bus yellow and stayed that way. Can you imagine how long it took MY hair to grow that out? It was shorter back then, only about midway down my back, I think, but still, that took a loooong time.

I'm sure the apricot highlights are cute!

Wrong poster, I never sent you a letter, or a PM, nor anything else. But it is always good to hear you're thinking of me and that my existance is of such importance to you.

For my part, I'm afraid I don't think of you at all.

Fair Enough. Consider this an official retraction of my previous statement. YOU didn'nt send me the letter. Someone else did. YOU rose to their defense and so in my mind I lumped you in with them. Wrong on my part.

I still lump you in with that guy. You defend someone you become identified with them. You pretend to be a classy guy, you should have acted like such in that circumstance. The both of you hammered me nonstop in other threads like you were on some crusade, so that is the reason you are lumped in the same category. But that was a long time ago and my memory isn't very sharp, least not as much as I wish it were.

LIGHTMEDARK:

I'm actually shocked to hear you say that. I thought you'd drop the hammer on me. Have come to expect it.

Everyone else:

Floor 42 is mine. Skip direct to 43. I proclaimed this a long time ago before being excommunicated from these threads... suspected you'd build floors as you have and that one is mine. It's like the 13th floor. Bad math. What do you get when you multiply six by nine?

6 X 9 = ??

42 of course. That's my floor.

Skip to 43.


-XG

...again Citizen... I apologize. I've reread the old post I referenced and I submit you did not do what I suggested you did. I still despise you none-the-less, but for all the right reasons. ;)


No such thing as gravity. 42nd Floor is dedicated to Xerogravity plots to bring back the show... hell Whedon lost Wonder Woman (thank gawd for small miracles). Time to return to the 'verse.

PS - Roddenberry survived with far more people far-less dedicated than we. And look where Star Trek went. Firefly is infinitely more realistic assuming this bunch of semi-evolved hairless primates manage to get off this blue-green rock.

Firefly has a future. Or it's prophetic fluff that will be forgotten today, rememembered 1000 years from now.

I'm truely sorry if I read that incorrectly. But, it sounded like sarcasm to me. "not you, the guy with the jesus complex." and it was never clarified. I read it with a different tone.

But, what do you mean by "What chance do any of us have?" What chance do you have at what?

I never said you weren't, Sean. I know who isn't. I'm okay with that. I've nothing against you, Sean, regardless of any perceived reasons that I should. I don't believe I've said anything against you. I've been pretty angry with myself for a while, It was easy to think everyone else was(angry with me) too. I appologize for taking the easy way out. Things have improved greatly for me in the past few weeks, and will only be getting better in the next few months.
