Hey guys... I've not been in the middle of this, and I don't want to be, but it's been clear to me for a while that River is someone with her own problems. I'm not excusing the crazy sh*t she does here, but persecuting her for it doesn't help anyone.

This thing is starting to look like a pack of wolves descending on the weakest one in the herd, and the attack isn't always hitting the mark. (See the recent blog of GUYWHOWANTSAFIREFLYOFHISOWN)

I don't want this web site to turn into a clique, and it gives me a really icky feeling to see someone singled out, even if she's asked for it. And yes - she has asked for it. She's been downright mean. But I think, and I have for a while, that she's wanting to be shunned by the people on this site. I think this is the only social good thing she has in her life, and it says something really heartbreaking about her that she's trying to get herself cast out of it. It breaks my heart anyway.

Please... be nice. Or at least refrain from cruelty.

Thanks Dayve! You haven't been insulting... it was mostly the blog that got me worried, and this shows signs of becoming a witch hunt. I sure as hell hope people are better than that!

*Mav has stayed faaar away from this, until I read this post*

I have to say, I agree with mal4prez...to a point.

I'm much more concerned about the post where she mentions a friend "hacked this site" and she "has a list of everyone's screen names."

That to me is over the edge, and over the line.
*Unacceptable behaviour*
For this, if anyone deserves a ban, it is her.

I don't care who is whom. I think most people would agree with that.

Citizen = Haken = Joe Mama?

So????

After someone attacked FMF last week with the "Dirty Laundry" incident, I decided to ignore those people who post this crap, and embrace those who came to this site for the same reason I did - to be amongst people who are devoted to Firefly as I am. 99.44% of the people I've come across are awesome folks. I can deal with ignoring the other .56%.

I think if there was more ignorin' we'd all come out ahead. It's not easy to do I know, but I think it's for the best.

Trouble is when the the board is lit up with this much discontent and meanness, there isn't much room left over for the good stuff. News gets shoved off the page, new folks get ignored or worse yet.. ambushed. I hope that Haken will solve this problem as only he can.

In between I intend to be nice to newcomers and all alike and hope that River or any one of her alternate personalities will try to get along.
We are all lucky to have this nice place I think.... this is a haven for most and even for her if she'd admit it. I value it. I intend to help it stay the wonderful place that it is.

Hey - ban her. But let Haken do it! Sending hate mail and bashing her publicly only plays into whatever game she's got going with herself.

It will also hurt other people (did you read the blog?) and make for a very very ugly environment. The kind that may scare off as many newbies as River scares away with her craziness.

This was the first and only website I've been a member of, and I love it because this kind of nastiness doesn't happen.

OK

I am weighing in now because I am tired of all this crap. Listen up - the blog is not what it is attempting to look like. As we all are aware PD and Guy go around attacking each other - PD was up late and saw Guy online and sent an invitation.

I can only assume that Guy had his feelings hurt, by a joking comment I made, and then it was compounded with all this other crap.

I have made my apologies to Guy for hurting his feelings- however unintentioned it was and I understand that PD has done the same.

River is doing what River does. If everyone would stop freaking out about it and go about their business she will stop - until the next time.

Come on people - nothing to see here!

FMF is not amused anymore

This is a shiny site - NO ONE should be banned. If someone doesn't play nice - pick up your ball and go home. They will learn.

Mal4Prez,

I appreciate what you're saying, and it speaks volumes for you that you're defending River against mean posts after all she's done. I understand that you don't want people here to be hurt or singled out, and I haven't read GWWFOHO's log, but I'll do that pretty much now.

But when it comes to River, I'm afraid all bets are off with me.

One in five people suffer or have suffered some form of mental illness. I am one of those five. I know loads of other people who are also members of that fairly sucky club, and while I haven't gone through anything like what River claims to have gone through, I do know people with similar backgrounds. And some of them are angry. And some of them lash out. That's pretty much the nature of the beast.

But when they ~do~ lash out, there are consequences. They don't get to say anything they want and blame it on their childhood trauma. They don't get to deliberately hurt people and then never have it mentioned again. Either they are kept away from the people they are hurting until their illness passes, or they are removed from the lives of those who are vulnerable for as long as it takes for them to get better.

I have every sympathy in the world for those suffering from mental illness, but being bullied over the internet is no less hurtful than being bullied face to face. People were targeted here, by River. People were called horrible names, by River. She set out to hurt posters here and to cause the maximum amount of chaos because she wanted to provoke a reaction. This is not okay.

If this is because she suffers from a mental illness, then she needs to be told to go and get the help she needs to sort it, and prevented from causing harm here as much as possible. I say if because to be quite honest I think she is a liar, just another troublemaker out to cause a fuss. As I posted in her thread, she lost the right to be taken seriously a long time ago. It is not okay for her to dump her vinegar mouthed hatred all over this board. We're a family sure, and we'll support each other when things are rough, but there is a limit. There has to be, for the safety and happiness of other posters here.

I don't want this place to be a clique either, I really don't. What I love most about this place is that no one cares if you've been here four days or four years, everyone is welcome to post on everything and everyone is listened to. That is truly rare on a posting board, and it's brilliant that we have that kind of atmosphere here. I want it to stay, and I have faith that it will.

But we didn't single River out. She singled herself out. She wanted a reaction and she got one. She is fast losing sympathy and less and less people are interested in what she says and does. I'm happy that this thread was started, because we have several new people who joined us just today and I for one want them to know that River is not the norm on this board and that she should be avoided wherever possible. The last thing we need is people being put off this board because they think we allow other posters to be flamed.

That's my opinion on the subject. I will accept any and all criticism of it. I only ask that you PM me if it's going to get personal. Lets keep the threads shiny, people.

EDIT - that last line wasn't directed at you, Mal4Prez! It was to anyone who wants to take me up on this.

This is the kind of situation that only a board admin. can handle and should handle, IMHO.

Let's all continue with the care and kindness we usually show each other and get back to what we love doing. I miss us just talking about the 'verse and what we can do to have more.
And that special quality that only this board has... that feeling of home.

Couldn't agree with you more ... and wasn't in any way disagreeing.

I want to talk Firefly and share my love for it with those who agree and those who have yet to enter the 'verse.

Guess that's what I'll do.

Imagine most of you what it would have been like to be greeted by River in mean mode or in alias mean mode when you arrived. Not a pretty picture. Would you have stayed? This is exactly my worry with this.

I don't think any of us want more than for everything to return to shiny times and let's be a happy site again.

*raises hand shyly*

yes, been there too. Know how it feels to be mean and push people away, know how it feels to be around people who can't stop their meanness.

I appreciate and share your feelings. I have written River long mails telling her my story in hopes that it would help her find her way, and to see her getting worse is hard.

I just don't see cruelty as the answer. That's all. (Not talking to anyone posting here, just any lurkers who think that nasty PMs are the way) She's clearly not able to get help right now, and while we can ban her, she seems tech savvy enough to keep coming back.

I like keeping an eye out for her mean posts, to let newbies know to blow her off. Yeah - cause that would have killed me, to get a post like the ones she's left! But there's not much else we can do, like it or not. Let's stop the hate, okay? Deal with it as cool as we can, and keep it shiny.

OK, I'll stop ranting now! Thanks for being nice about it!

I'm not going to support starting a thread to attack anyone, including River. She has however started threads to attack me and has done some other things that are perhaps a little more than Troll like. The best I can say for her is if she keeps out of my way I'll keep out of hers, but I'm afraid I will not hold my tongue to spare her if she goes out of her way to attack me.

Ummm... Where do you think fish pee?

...And then you've got that whole 'procreation of the fishy species' thing...

Still, it never pays to be too squeamish about these things. Humans would do well never to lose sight of the fact that we are only organisms, more or less like any other organism. (NB: Albeit with big brains. I think that's a good thing, but I'll have to get back to you.) If the other animals are not particularly fussy about it, I don't see why we should be.

In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say drinking from a river is probably safer for you in the long run than a diet consisting of foodstuffs bought from your local supermarket...



Respectfully,

zoid

P.S.
On the other hand, in the short run, if you drink from a River without purifying the water first, you'll probably come down with a nasty case of incontinence. Your body just no longer has the natural defenses against such microbial critters.

Just try not to do it in the River, if you do get sick. It's creepifyin' enough in there already...

Diving Duck Blues

(written by T. Mahal)

If the river was whiskey
I would be a diving duck
If the river was whiskey
I would be a diving duck
I would swim to the bottom, but I would drink my way up

If you were a good woman
I would never have to roam
If you were a good woman
I would never have to roam
I’d give up drinking whiskey and I would always stay at home

River go to the ocean, ocean go to the sea
Why you ain’t no good woman
A mystery to me
River go to the ocean, ocean go to the sea
And like a fish has got to swim, you’ve got to make a fool out of me

If the river was whiskey
I would be a diving duck
If the river was whiskey

Ever have a fish bowl when you were a kid? Or maybe even an aquarium in your house, today?

You feed the fishies, and then they make poopie. If you don't keep the inside of their bowl clean, it gets all rancid, green and generally unhealthy. Remember?

Same thing with River, except a lot fishier and full of crap...

There's a little bit of River in all of us, which is why we love her so, even when she's taking a virtual hacksaw to us.

I don't.

And she's making me not want to come here anymore.

If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

What do you suppose the odds are that that's exactly how he/she is trying to make people feel?

I've interacted with 'her' a couple of times, and I will say this without fear of contradiction: River6213, whomever he or she may actually be -- whether poor, unloved 'rich bitch' (by her own admission) or pimple-faced Boy Loser -- is deeply ill in the head.

Whether 'she' is who she says she is, or whether it's all an elaborate act, a well person doesn't engage in the games 'she' plays. And here's the thing with sick people who know they are sick, and do nothing about it: They'll destroy you, in the process of destroying themselves.

I've watched as much of this as I can stomach. Some people think she can be healed through their love and understanding. If they're just understanding enough, she will magically be transformed into a considerate person.

That's called co-dependency. 'She' needs to seek professional help, and well-intending-but-ultimately-clueless people need to stop enabling her predatory and destructive behavior. Period, dot, end of story.

In the meantime, my advice to everyone is to get as far from her as you possibly can. When one of these big 'ships of the head' goes under, it sucks everything near it to the bottom as well.

As to you, Misstressahara: Try to focus on the good stuff. The good news is, if 'she' (or anyone else) tries to mug you, well, it ain't a real mugging. You can't ignore a real mugging...



Respectfully,

zoid

P.S.
I used to kill trolls on this site. But nobody wins when you do. The poison necessary to rid the place of vermin, sickens the rightful inhabitants as well. The best thing to do is starve 'em to death.

Hello Everybody:

I think this is an excellent thread. We all have our ways to deal with issues such as this. And we need to blow off steam.

Friday I saw River6213 messing with onthedrifts head. I don't know onthedrift, maybe younger or older than me, but a Browncoat is a Browncoat. I will help any Browncoat attacked the way River6213 attacked onthedrift. She says she knows she has problems. If you know you have problems, you seek help. I know because I suffer from some. I am a recovering alcoholic. A child of an alcoholic. I suffer from depression. It took my doctor fifteen years to learn I was bipolar. I have seen my share. No. I'm not looking for self pity. Drinking booze was my own choice. Self inflicted wound you may say. But I am locky. I discovered what a horses I was making of my self and got help. Along the way the good people of AA have taught me to help others and not to attack those who are suffering themselves. I never responded to any of River6213 taunts. She can Blah Blah Blah all day and I will not respond. I do not feed trolls! I don't know if I did all the right things friday night, but I got a thread to Haken. I have since learned there are better methods and will use them in the future. I know good people when I meet them, and you are good people. I aim to stay.

Traveler is now going back to the business of this fansite, discussing Firefly, Imponderables, and limericks.


Yes. You bring up limericks again and you will have to suffer through poor attempts at them.
