I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


Yanno how the parent says I'm not angry, I'm disappointed?

Well, that's not me. I'm both disappointed AND angry.

I don't expect to be believed. In fact, I would be rather disturbed if you all just took my word for events that I post about.

However, I would hope that you liberals would give me enough credit to at least look things up for yourselves. What I've discovered from your recent behavior, however, is that instead of looking at the evidence as it stands you seem to think that if you can argue with ME you'll somehow make the facts "go away". There is hardly a smidgen of objectivity or intellectual honesty to share amongst yourselves.

I'm not your intellectual errand-boy, to be finding facts and information that you're either too lazy or too propagandized to look up for yourselves. I'm not your political whipping-boy either. If you want to keep an eye on events, you have to put in SOME effort yourselves. Don't expect to stay undisturbed in your comfy-cozy cocoon and still be able to perceive truth, because yanno what? The truth is sometimes hard, and it often runs counter to the narrative that we like to tell ourselves. So bird-dog the truth yourselves, or stay uninformed; it's on you-

not me.

If you think this is a giant FU, you're right. If you think it's undeserved, you're wrong.

Signy, there's a LOT of fighting these days, and not just here- most every site I frequent has gone all personality attack as opposed to fact/subject debate. I for one truly appreciate what you present & discuss here. You were only wrong on one issue once, and I don't recall what that was, but I'm guessing you HAD to be wrong at least once.
I think the whole fucking world is one big bowl of snot & stress now. And it's seeping into these sites too.
I had to take a vacation from here- sounds like you may need a short one yourself.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.


I've PMed back and forth with Signy.

It's not the right wing here that's the problem.

It's the liberals who are as firmly entrenched in their own propaganda as jongsy and rappy are in theirs. After having repeatedly brought to people's attention over the years that the stories they like to believe aren't true, the Ukraine topic was just the last straw.

When shown actual photos that did prove that the narrative they were so heavily invested in was flat out wrong (ie ANYthing anti-Russian) did they investigate? Check out various sources? Sift out facts? No. They said the photos were too obscure to interpret. Shrugged them off. Said she was mentally unbalanced. Called her PN.

I've been saying to her that maybe the difference between the right wing and the liberals was that while the right wing was totally resistant to facts, perhaps liberals could be moved with more exposure.

But I sense that while some people may be moved to admit that perhaps some things that occurred in Odessa they originally believed were misrepresented, the total narrative hasn't changed. At best they might say it's an unfortunate difference of opinion in The Ukraine, rather than a $5B effort on the part of the US to destabilize and overthrow a democratically elected government using Svoboda boots on the ground. Because, despite all the evidence, the US must really just be an innocent force for good just trying to help out democracy.

I'll truly miss Signy. Her departure was one she was considering for a long time, and which I tried to gently discourage her from. But she is fact-driven if nothing else. And the fact is that facts don't count here. Not with the right wing, and not with the liberals either.

Fwiw, her posts are, were, the main reason I come here anymore.

That the video's show pro-Ukrainian forcing pro-Russian protesters into the building and throwing Molotov cocktails, no I don't dispute that.

You want to draw other conclusions from those video's I might.

And shooting at them. Can't forget that. Just a smattering of your posts. Rather than check out the FACTS, you chose to defend your preferred propaganda and attack Signy and the sources. http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=57980 This: "Kiev Neo-Nazis shoot and club people escaping from burning building...and INSIDE ... raped, shot, doused with flammables and set on fire. Pictures (WARNING) and proof." was true. And you turned out to be wrong.

Whatever. I'm not going to bother with you either.


SIGNYM is starting to go the way of Pirate News.
Funny that both sites you linked to ties to one side of this crisis. RT stands for Russia Today, which has Michel Chossudovsky on as commentator all the time. Chossudavsky runs Centre for Research on Globalisation.

I'm not going to claim the pictures were retouched. They however do not prove what you claim. We know people died in that fire, however how it started and how thos people dies is not proven by those pictures. If it was that clear no one would have have to add arrows and circles and captions to them.

You seem to have taken a side in this and are unable to move from it. Don't you get that you are posting a pro-Russian naritive from pro-Russian websites? Does that seem a litte off to you?

The pictures can tell different stories depending on who is telling them. There was no doubt a fire and those people died. Those pictures tell us that, but they don't tell us a great many of the other things RT and you are claiming they do.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


Wow, I guess I've missed a lot. None of that pertains to me, must be something from some of the many, many threads I no longer bother to read. I don't bother to read a lot of threads because they're about stuff I already know and about which I have nothing to contribute. I don't spend much time here anymore.

Just wanted to pop in and say hey, ho, those are a lot of nasty, sweeping statements, none of which has anything to do with THIS "liberal", thank you very much. I tend to investigate anything I'm interested enough in that I find here to see what I think of it, so I kind of resent some of what you wrote.

Just sad to read this thread, that's all.

Please save me the "I'm not going to bother with you" bullshit. You've said that to Rappy and others many times but you still respond to them.

As for being proven wrong were did that happen? Signym's post was making a lot of claims about what happened in the building and how those people died. Those pictures don't prove those things.

Right, but in her original hissy rant she ...

1) Says 'fuck you' to her LIBERAL friends.

2) Tells her LIBERAL friends they're all lazy idiots with no "intellectual honesty".

3) States that she is the ONLY ONE who knows the facts, and she is the ONLY ONE who can be right about everything.


Maybe now some of those same LIBERAL friends will finally see what a delusional egomaniac she is by her own words....

You still don't get it, but I'm done trying to explain. I'm rapidly losing interest in you, and unlike you with Rappy, that means I actually will stop the dance.

Really, I have not been as interested in Ukraine as much as in your bizarre behavior. Your personality has undergone quite a shift. And the way you've reacted to this confirms it: big emotion, inability to *grok* anyone not fully convinced by you, and finally taking your ball and going off in a snit. Yes, I understand you're not leaving the site, but you certainly want everyone to know that you're giving up on "discussing." Seems a weird thing to do in RWEDiscussions, hey? Kind'a like what the religiosos did when their beliefs were put to discussion, hey?

If you think that bothers me, you're assuming that I'm as emotionally invested in this thing as you are. Sorry to disappoint. I found you interesting, entertaining, and informative in your prior personality, but this new one.... bleh.

One more before I move on: you really ought to not take the internet so seriously. We're not the U.N. here. We make no policies. The piddly info shouted over by the piddly few of us who still show up on occasion (and there certainly are less human beings involved in RWED than there are screennames) have very little effect on anything in the RW.

The BAD news.

Just for the record, posting shit like PN comparisons or fat girl pictures pretty much says what needs to be said by the POSTER themselves about THEM.
IE: I can't argue coherently.

Yeah, some Libs can be just as dense as any Con. Stupid is equal opportunity.

LOL! That's really funny. And always a good way to improve communication: make broad sweeping statements of blame and blindly throw a label on folks.

Oooooh. "actual" photos! That must be absolute proof that everything Sig says absolutely must be true!!! /sheesh

Now, I didn't call her PN, but everything else you're saying seems aimed at me. I'm operating under that assumption, so correct me if you didn't mean me.

If you did: LOL! again that you think I'm anti-Russian. Like I said, I don't have a side here. I don't know enough about it to claim a side, and I don't believe that anything I find on YOUtube or biased governmental news sites or biased media news sites is going to make me an infallible expert on a war on the other side of the world.

I'm a little disappointed that sig thinks this is possible, but she's been completely one-sided from the get-go. I don't think she's pro-Russian, I think her new personality is gung-ho to hate on every American policy, and she hates the Western media enough to take any side against it.

Hating the media: cool! Me too. Jumping blindly onto any other side: not my cuppa. And yes, blindly. I recall the first thread she started about this that was all into RT because sure, they may be biased but the West is REALLY biased so RT must be telling the truth.

OK, this has been fun. Really. One of the most interesting things about this site is the chance to explore you bizarre figments of the internet virtual reality. Whether you're "real" people or invented personalities, you can be entertaining for short stints here and there.

But now I'm done with this one and the Bruins are on. Go B's!

Some times we react a little worse to stuff when we're under stress. I know I do, that why I took a break from here. And I'll take another when I need to. But yeah, this is just a discussion group with a few hardcore anti-whatevers floating about, nothing to lose you pretty floral bonnet over.

Not even close.

I'm sorry if you feel singled out. I didn't have you specifically in mind.


"I think her new personality is gung-ho to hate on every American policy ..."

Well, there's an extended list both domestic and foreign to hate. Indefinite detention? 24/7 spying on the US? Kettling Occupy? Prosecuting whistle-blowers? Drone murders? Backing the Egyptian army? Trying to arrange a UN or at least NATO attack on Syria through bogus chemical attack claims? Do any of these strike a chord?


"Jumping blindly onto any other side ..."

You lost me. I meant you blaming "liberals." Which is really funny, but not surprising. Sig has done a whole helluva lot to keep Rappy alive and wriggling on this site: she's always been up to engaging him, giving him ultimatums year after year after year, despite his obvious... um... shortcomings. And yet this one exchange with liberals who didn't bow to her wisdom made her throw in the towel.

Whatever. She should just have fun dancing with Rap. It seems to be what she likes.

You posted that she "posted actual photos that did prove that the narrative they were so heavily invested in was flat out wrong (ie ANYTHING anti-Russian)

She posted photos so she is right and everyone is wrong. That's what you said. Your words. Same thing she is saying: that what she posts is all FACT though it comes from YOUtube and RT and every other damned source that I do not take to be fact.

Hey - I know some other posters who believe everything they post to be FACT.

OK, thanks. Still, I don't see that anyone went all out anti-Russia. I think what people objected to (certainly, what I objected to) was this assumption that the horror of the photos was slam-dunk proof of all kinds of other stuff. You are still saying that. "Actual photos... prove.. anti-Russia... is flat out wrong."

You don't know me at all if you think I have western news with my breakfast. But thank you for showing me that you operate on such blind assumptions. Reminds me that any criticism you aim my way is completely meaningless, as you have no idea who I am. You're just fighting some figment of your own internet virtual reality. Have fun with that!

OK - I was trying to be a little literary with "with your breakfast" - it wasn't meant to be literal.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...


Okay, after reading all this, I can't resist popping in to ask a question. I'm not about to read what I've kind of guessed is the thread that started Sig going off the rails, but since Sig started this thread, and did so as a way to say FU to people here, I'm not going to start a new thread to ask my question, I'll do it here.

My question is this: When the map stuff came up, about Rap being in Georgia, etc., I played with the FFF "Browncoat Map" for a bit. Found it fascinating; most people were exactly where I'd made note they said they were. The one that had me saying "huh", and I asked about it at the time, was Sig and Kiki. I never got an answer, from them or anyone else.

If you go to the "Browncoats Map" on FFF, and look in the Los Angeles area, you see this:



If you click on that "12", you get a close-up view. Putting the cursor over each flag brings up a name. Here are the two which fascinated me:





Now, in the past Kiki has written that she lives in "San Dimas", which is North of the L.A. area, and Sig wrote she lived "near Long Beach". Neither of those places is near what is shown on the map. And there's TWELVE supposed "Browncoats" in that one "block" on the map. The other names are

VEEJER
YT
TONYP
IANR
MOJAVE
CAPTAINHAMMER
ANOTHERCOATOFBROWN
DRAGONWINE
PLATONIST

So I've found myself wondering; do we have a whole bunch of sockpuppets at work here, or what? Certainly, as I wrote at the time, where I'm flagged on that map is close to where I live, but about three miles East, so it's not absolutely accurate for me (others might check and see how close it is for them). Everyone I looked up at the time was at least in the same CITY as they'd previously written they were.

But twelve Browncoats in one block, and Sig and Kiki being flagged right next to one another and quite a ways away from where they claim they live? While Long Beach isn't that far from where they're flagged in L.A. (and NewOldBrowcoat is right there in Long Beach, as he's always said, by the way), San Dimas is quite a ways North of the L.A. area…

All this is, of course, totally unimportant. But Sig going off the rails in this thread, as it certainly seems she has, and Kiki being so intent on defending her, made me think back to all this. So, having nothing better to do for a few minutes, never having forgotten my curiosity about finding this before, and given the content of this thread, I just thought I'd toss it out there in case anyone else is interested.

Oh, and I didn't miss Kiki's "and of course there are the ones who claim to be fact-based who stayed away in droves and couldn't be bothered at all". Dunno if that's aimed at me or not, but I found it interesting when I compared it to--I may be wrong, but I BELIEVE Signy--railing on me for "refusing" to answer a question from her at least twice, which questions happened to be in threads I'd never even read. To both I say, just once, that the day I feel COMPELLED to read and respond to any specific thread on FFF is the day I truly DO throw in the towel! I read what looks interesting to me, and don't even respond to most of that…anyone who takes this place that seriously, well, has serious problems.

…and I'm off to more interesting, worthwhile pursuits… Enjoy.

the maps are not accurate. I've checked out where I am supposed to live and, although in the same city, is nowhere close. I dont know how they determine the exact location, but maybe its something to do with the IP? I'm guessing here.

FWIW If you think I'm a sock-puppet then of course you'll mistrust whatever I post. And if you don't then I don't need to answer your accusation. That IS an accusation - right?

But for the record - I'm not anyone's sock-puppet, nor do I have any. I live in San Dimas. And I have no idea where that place is that's pictured, or who those posters are.

Yeah, duh. Your implied meaning is that I am led by the nose by the Western media. Your implied meaning -- and also your explicitly state meaning in this thread -- is that the only reason I doubt Sig's conclusions is that I am a blind sheepy slave to Western media.

Combined with Sig's input on this issue, this is what I'm hearing from you folks: if I want to prove I'm not a slave to the Western media, I should be a slave to RT, etc.

Cool. All right then.

OK, by "everything" I mean everything in the Ukraine story.

Again. Third time. You said: "When shown actual photos that did prove that the narrative they were so heavily invested in was flat out wrong (ie ANYthing anti-Russian) did they investigate?"

Fourth time: "the narrative they [those anti-Russian RWED "liberals"] were so heavily invested in was PROVE(D) FLAT OUT WRONG"

The photos showed a few things, not "everything." "Everything" refers to what you call "the narrative," the one that you say Sig is right about and the "liberals" are wrong about, though I still haven't seen where anyone posted any kind of anti-Russian narrative. Just a refusal to bow to sig.

You know, which is why she loves to dance with Rap. He makes her so very right so very always. I guess she's gotten used to that.

3-1 starting the 3rd...

Gorrammit, Sig, I'm gonna miss your presence. Your stuff is ALWAYS worth reading. I may not agree on some issues or concerns, but you're always thought provoking.

As to the Ukraine thing, I've stayed out of that one mostly. I'm still an old school anti-Russia guy: I see Putin as being as aggressive and imperialist as Hitler, only using a sneakier technique, and the Ukrainian insurgent government as supporting freer free choice, as between the EU and Russia. And I remember the old Cold War days, when anybody who could, wanted to get out of the USSR. While pragmatically, I don't see much the USA can do, without starting WW 3. And I'm not suggesting that there have not been abuses and atrocities on both sides.

So I don't know, and I've tried to stay out: it's too far away, and of too little effect on the USA. I'd like to see the folks a lot closer over there step up and do some heavy lifting.

The narrative:

the pro-Russians started shooting
the pro-Kiev moved in and forced them into a building
the pro-Russians threw Molotov cocktails and set the building on fire
the pro-Russians died in the fire or when jumping to escape the flames

Now, there are pictures I didn't explicitly discuss - I know my eyes are bad and my visual processing is faulty, but I assume that if I'm having difficulty trying to figure out a photo, then everyone else is too. But there are photos that OBVIOUSLY don't fit the narrative. The men with blood pools under their heads. The woman bent backwards over a desk with no trace of fire. The woman who was raped. The many videos add convincing evidence - the narrative provided by western news was false.

BTW - if we both have the time and interest, maybe we could go back to that thread (probably where this belongs) and look at the responses.

I've never looked into the map. Interesting. Does it show everyone, even if they didn't put their location in?

I was not thinking SIG = KIKI, though that's an intriguing idea. I have other theories that are even more entertaining. ;)

Will I ever know? Nah. But it's fun to play with. A meaningless little mystery to investigate. Because no matter how clever people are, patterns establish themselves over the years...

Kiki - perhaps, re returning to the Ukraine thread. Thing is, I really am more interested in what this issue reveals about RWED posters than I am in the issue itself. I don't mean to say that what's happening in Ukraine isn't damned important, much more so than this silly meaningless (in the long run) website.

But I have no control over Ukraine, and nor should I. I'm an American. That doesn't mean I have any right to pass judgement over another country's struggles and tell them what to do. I'm not smarter or nobler or wiser than any of the people who are out on those streets right now. I don't know their condition or history or personal hopes or struggles. I have no right to decide who to blame.

Wouldn't that be something as far as crushing barriers?

People shot is not some big revolution, there was shooting going on from both sides. The women bent over the desk is not burned, but could have very well died of smoke inhalation. The one picture of a women burn and her legs spread does not mean she was rapped.

I have also not hurt the narrative you are saying is the western one. I heard there was a clash between the two sides, the pro-Russian one was forced back into the building and in the chaos a the fire started. Yes, the Ukrainian government is painting a picture that blames the pro-Russian side for everything. That is what all governments do. The media however has not simply parroted that.

No, it was a question…something that didn't add up to me. I never thought you were a sock puppet before, but some stuff just didn't make sense.

But obviously the map is NOT correct; as Magons says: "the maps are not accurate. I've checked out where I am supposed to live and, although in the same city, is nowhere close. I dont know how they determine the exact location, but maybe its something to do with the IP? I'm guessing here." and "I'm also listed as living in a tree with 3 other posters that I know nothing about." I too am guessing IP address has something to do with it, maybe, but I can accept that the map is at least somewhat off, which pretty much puts that whole question to bed.

Magons: as to "I don't think ikiki is signy's sockpuppet. I mean why would they bother?". I have never understood sock puppetry or why anyone would bother.

So, forget the question, and go back to sniping at one another. Like Chris, I'm sad to see it so I don't think I'll return to this thread. (Sadly, Chris, I don't think suggesting cooling down will have any effect...) :-(

I couldn't find you Magons. Or myself for that matter.

But I don't think the map is supposed to be super accurate - that would be very creepy, if it gave your actual house. It just gives your vicinity - hence why people are on top of each other.

And I do find it curious that Signy and Kiki are in each other's vicinity, according to the map. There's is a relationship I've wondered about.

Oh - part of that cluster. Well, assuming it's all university-related, that makes sense. There's probably more university people who like firefly compared to others. But the location?? Not even remotely close. I mean welllllll over 10 miles off.

So, it does seem to be IP address related. Interesting. But the discrepancy with geography is an interesting quirk that would be fruitful to puzzle out.
