Browncoats have a pretty mixed rep, but our characteristic brand of crazy is the generally positive kind, not the kind that gets you taken off the streets for your own safety, and the safety of others.

The most appropriate way of dealing with this would not be to acknowledge the patient's delusion, let alone interact with him on that level. It'd just reinforce the problem.

Well with this kind of delusion this poor guys is suffering from, he could believe that he's anyone like Luke Skywalker or Napoleon Bonaparte. This guy didn't go crazy because he was a fan of Firefly, he went crazy because there is something seriously wrong with him. He probably believes that he's Malcolm Reynolds because there is this subconscious part of him that needs to believe that he's that kind of strong, independent character. Someone like him forty years ago might have thought that he was John Wayne.

There are people with malicious intent who come here, or this site wouldn't be getting hacked so often, and a little story like the one which started this thread can be blown out of proportion and start showing up on the regular News. On the other hand this could be the case where any exposure is good exposure for us fans, but I wonder how the creators of Firefly feel would about this type of exposure.

Well, that's quite clear, to thinkin' folks. However, somebody who cared to could spin it otherwise, and there are always folks who love to spread ill news.

And, no matter how topical it may be to this board, it don't hardly seem respectful to the patient involved to drag the particulars out in public, even without namin' names and such. Sure his family wouldn't care for it. I know I wouldn't, if it was somebody I cared about.

Just sayin'.
