oh jj [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img], the us has a broad range of opinions obviously, but there is a strong fundamentalist tradition here (remember the puritans who founded the massachussetts colony?)…and although we are a democracy, with separation of church and state, there is an equally long tradition of people trying to make their values the law of the land, as in prohibition…finally, the country is founded in violence, like many others, but that founding is only 2or 3 hundred years old, so guns are, for many people, a right and a way of life here…having said all that, there is room for everyone’s opinions, and i really do not know why people can’t simply not watch or read things that offend them…i don’t listen to gangster rap; i find it offensive, but i would never tell someone else not to listen to it…i also do not particularly wish to watch people having sex,but i do watch [i]queer as folk[/i], i am not offended by nudity, and in any case, i can always change the channel [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]…
lexx is shown at 10 pm, on a cable station…so it is both after ‘prime time’, and not always easily accessible…but scifi still follows many ‘network television’ rules…so no, many americans do not find the casual nipple offensive, but those who do, are more vocal about not having it shown [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]oops, yeah it will be in #marty, our little ‘marty simon memorial’ chat room, as he was the first of hopefully many more chats [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]…ellen would like hers to be for two hours, so that should give all a chance to ask a question… [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

[img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] most respectfully disagree frey; the cat and mouse between vlad and kai, with her eventually kicking his ass righteously, is the best, he basically had to beat a strategic retreat [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]…thodin vs kai was good,but too short, too predictable [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

welcome [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] and thank you for posting!…i saw that you had registered, and i assumed you were lurking occasionally like many…we draw upon several sources here, feel free to come and clarify ,amplify, or just be silly with us [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
we do try to avoid ‘spoiling’ the unseen episodes; unfortunately the variety of airing schedules makes it hard not to spoil something for somebody, so we at least mark spoilers as such [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]…love your site , fx

[img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] which they never clarified by the way; when the transport is going by in iwhs, it looks from the windows as if several people are in stasis…then we go inside, and the soldier is going down the row of prisoners, and it doesn’t look like any of them were in any sort of containers…but one is freeze dried…did i miss something?

the first ban will be for two weeks, repeated offenses will lead to permanent bans
why, because i’m the mom-er-moderator [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] and i said so; and all of us are tired of trying to reason with the same four people
now all of you have a happy thanksgiving, goddamnit [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img], and do not come back to post until you can talk calmly

well, hair is not composed of living cells…but the rest of xev’s cells are alive, and probably at low level of metabolic function, which would include ‘exuding’ hair from her follicles…at least she didn’t come out with a mustache [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] …stan of course is the anomaly…and while kai is’dead’ he has metabolic function otherwise he would not require ‘fuel’ or protoblood, nor would he be able to repair the damage he has repeatedly suffered…but since he is no longer a carbon based life form, maybe he is no longer exuding hair [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

actually, quite a few people have mentioned bun shrinkage,i originally thought it was just imagination…but i liked your description of ‘boot to bun’ height, and how you had used that estimate to derive the other sizes you have come up with [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]…scientific or not, it was funny guys…just like the ‘what happens to irradiated cockroachs’ post [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

i am not unhappy about sadboard having an angst forum, and i am definitely very happy about people having a place to vent,off the lexx forums, but with moderators, and a fairly laissez-faire policy…however, i am extremely unhappy with the same mistakes being repeated over and over again…micromary has broken silence(bless her!) and said that there is blame enough for [b]both[/b] sides, so let both sides apologize, and cease and desist…

[i] well, i think the old bun was at least an inch or two higher [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]; there were serious bobby pins in the middle of the bun squashing it down (yes i looked at ALL the wigs, they are real hair, but kind of scratchy/coarse)….but anyway, i think the 10cm difference is mostly because of a best guestimate of kai’s height, which is actually fairly close, given what dt had to work with as far as real info [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [/i]

headgehog, first of all let me apologize, i realized yesterday that i had referred to you as a ms rather than a mr; sheer stupidity on my part…i did not intend a slight…as far as scifi; i went over earlier today when fg posted to see for myself…i was a little surprised at the bad feelings that had been voiced there…that is why i posted my own tired little plea not to invite trouble…
fg really tried to be cheery and welcoming, but there was enough ugliness there to
1)convince me that dealing with 6 popups per post really isn’t worth it
2)the people that are interested will find their way over here, and hopefully feel welcome and not turned offanyway, it’s done;i had been feeling a little raw,but as usual, visiting with you fine folks is perking me up!… thanx fx [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

hmmm, must have something to do with my vision, which frey can tell you is close to legally blind, but i find white on black less headache inducing…if there are any anomalies in the refresh rate or background, i get distracted by the strobe effect on a white background…and although i am not epileptic, i feel prone to seizures with too much ‘strobing’ [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]…just my two cents anyway…
as far as topic order; this must be one of those ‘toilet paper up or toilet paper down’issues; from my standpoint, checking the newest posts for something to reply to is much easier if they are at the top…then i can work my way down to the older posts at my leisurenow, i know this is a lot of work, but is there anyway for us to know when other peeps are on line here at the sadboard, so that we could go to the chat room and play?

[i]sigh…i am not surprised…i merely pointed out that dt asked a question, and i tried to the best of my abilities to answer it…i did laugh about the ‘chocolate tradition’ the same way i laugh about many people equating food with sex, including myself….some came in to clarify, and some, including x, came in to carp…now if you will notice, i did not edit any of these posts…we all believe that having a separate forum might be a constructive way to defuse the tensions of the last few weeks…[/i]
You called Buggy a troll for saying much less than X or “Gelfling”
[i]no i called buggy a troll for only showing up to fight…and continue fighting…the woman has a fabulous sense of humor, and i love her reviews on del’s site; why not share some of that with us here, instead of just coming to fight and then leaving again…why do we all only have to see her ugly side? don’t you guys try to write something interesting and nonconfrontational when you come here? why can’t she? that is my definition of a troll; i don’t hang out enough in other chat rooms and boards to know if that is the ‘preferred definition’, but i think it might have some validity…[/i]
You have NOT seen these women, you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about.
[i]excuse me, are you talking to me? hello, i told gelf not to make such remarks, so why am i getting told i don’t have a clue? [/i]
The fact that you continuosly allow him to vent his searing hatred on this board is beyond me,
[i]again, look at the thread here; no one has been edited…now look at the threads i closed; all posts got edited, including x and aleck…[/i]
It’s this simple…If you don’t like the way things go at one place…go someplace else. No one is obligated to make you happy. Here or any other place.
I for one, am sick of it, it’s juvenile, adolescent, rude and I now have serious doubts about the sanity of someone who would continuously rant over and over again about the same thing…
[i]okay, you have vented, but you are not ranting, are you? [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] there is fault enough to go around here, and i am hoping everyone who needed to has gotten in on it…so now let’s see if we can indeed let it drop [/i]

———————————————
I know that he wasn’t referring to bugbomb, FX… I was pointing out that not all *trolls* *came* from scifi. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]And I DIDN’T apologize to X arbitrarily,
[i]actually, that was directed to gelf’s final line about ‘i apologize…’ but you are right, many people have done the same here [/i]
where were you then to edit posts? Or tell people to not attack ME? I didn’t flame anyone personally — THEY flamed *ME*.
[i]sorry if i missed a flame, i cannot be every where at once, overall we all try to chill things out here, but none of us has the time to step in every event…also, there has to be a bit of slack so that people can ,hopefully, resolve issues on their own [/i]
And who did I flame and how did I cross over the line? WHO did I say bad things about? Admitting I didn’t like someone?
PARTING QUESTION: *IS* there anyway for this to end? Not the WHOLE debate… just the part that makes ppl HATE each other for their different views?
i don’t know elfie, you tell me [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] you may not start things here, but you are one of the more vehement respondents, with a real slash and burn approach to posting…no i am not saying you are the only one, but look over the threads in question and tell me honestly you didn’t come out swinging…
finally, i am trying to be fair here, and thickskinned; that’s what the moderators are all supposed to do, but there is a limit to my patience too…and at the end of the day, i am an administrator whether you like it or not…saddy trusts me, and will abide by my decisions, as you and others have already found out …now, sit back and count to ten instead of just slamming out another ‘i will have the last word post’…i will discuss things openly here with all of you,i do not go behind your backs and you all know exactly how you stand with me… but i will no longer be insulted and called names (that is a general statement, not just for elfie)
hmmm, okay let’s remember the caveat at the beginning of the forum: no flaming
dt had a question, i answered it to the best of my knowledge; i tried not to say anything mean, and i qualified by ‘i am not sure…’ or ‘i think’…i understand the hurt feelings, and the wish to clear the record, but some are going over the line again
gelfling, there is no reason to make remarks about people’s weight
elfie, i don’t think g was referring to bug bomb [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
i have singled out two names, but these are not the only two who were brandishing hurt feelings and anger
and to everyone; saying whatever you like, in very harsh terms, and then throwing out a casual ‘i apologize’ does [b]not mitigate[/b]the hurt feelings and anger you know your post is going to cause
beyond that, i hope everyone feels better about getting to state their side of the issue; but remember, this forum is not carte blanche to be ugly [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img], it is for information and to follow divergences on threads in other forums

well dt, i guess like hypatia says, it’s sort of a role playing game…i am not a gamer, so obviously it doesn’t appeal to me, but i will say that many of the fan fix i have read are very well written, and many are quite…inventive [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] but as i said, i usually don’t bother, as i am trying to find snippets of news to follow up on here, and i read enough books at home anyway
hypatia, i think micromary originated the kaiclones, but then she left scifibb…the rules i have seen are posted by some of the people who are in apec…but i do not know that the two groups are one and the same…as to the chocolate tradition, i don’t know who started that, but it is fairly common to mix food with sex (see ‘the thief, the cook,the wife, and her lover’, oh and how about ‘like water for chocolate’ [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img])…this is just on a smaller scale i guess…

good recap of the early days of lexx…however, dt is not the only peep here, nor the only person in general, who mistakes familial/friendly intentions for ‘something more’ [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img].
on the topic at hand; mm said in chat that ‘xev used to love kai, now it’s just habit’…thought that was a good summation as well, and an excellent observation for life and love in general [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
but perhaps i am just cynical [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]quote:

this would be ‘thebrother’ who refers to me as ‘thetallredhead’? [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] hmmm…don’t think i let anyone take pictures of me in these various get ups (never know where they’ll end up!)…anyhoo, good point about the angst [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

What is “clone fiction?” I’ve never heard that term outside of this board, and I have never seen it defined. I typed it into a search engine, but couldn’t find a definition. Apparently it is something controversial, but what is it? [img]images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]
sorry dt, but i am going to answer it as saddy is in england and probably doesn’t visit us scifi.bb/lexx…clone fiction is one of the (three i think) types of fan fiction that make up the bulk of that bb’s postings…there are very defined rules as to who can write what type of fiction, and when…apparently, there is chocolate tradition, which is fan fiction that involves chocolate and lexx characters (yes, i just typed that [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] ) …then there is clone fiction; several of the posters have gotten kai clones, like cowboykai, hawaiikai, and so forth…they are sort of alter-egos or pseudonyms for the respective clone-mistresses…so the fanfiction that revolves around a particular clone is called clone fiction…one must have an officiallly sanctioned clone, and the proper permissions, to write clonefiction, especially if any other clones are involved…then there is the standard fanfiction…again, if you are going to use any named characters from the board, you must have permission…the fiction can involve any lexx character…
if you went to some of the other groups, like keb (kai estrogen brigade) you would run into a whole new subset of kai fiction…some of the fiction being heterosexual, some homosexual, some violent, some not…at any rate, not my cup of tea, so i usually don’t read it…but usually, the fanfictions, whatever flavor, are well marked, so that you can read it or not, as you choose…some of the animosity here over the last few weeks has involved members of the other boards, and long time posters here…and that is why saddy was making a joke…in any case, if you are interested, go to scif.com/lexx, and visit the bb; there are usually a few fanfix up if you wish to look at them…on scifi, they tend to be a bit tamer than in some of the other groups [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]“Isn’t sanity just a one-trick pony anyway?

My feelings are that such complaints are unjust and that FX acted very well (leniently I thought) in what was developing into a silly off-topic argument.
Hopefully the offending posters will get the message. If not, I’ll ban the buggers!
LOL! [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] girls will be girls saddy, and this is exactly the sort of silly backbiting that has rendered x and slop insane! i tried to explain to him that this is the way a lot of women act, and the best thing to do is to ignore it, but men can be silly that way [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]…nevertheless, they have proved disruptive, whether or not they instigated all the sillyness, they have certainly fueled it (particularly those two, right frey?)…it’s a great idea saddy;kudos to you, and i am ashamed i couldn’t come up with something more productive than editing/closing, as i do not like playing [b]ilsa she-wolf of the ss[/b]…particularly as my thighboots and leather bikini are a bit snug these days…smooches, fx

good job saddy, passion is good, but lately things seem to be a bit lacking in [b]com[/b]passion here; this gives people a chance to vent, and to still mind their manners…well done, kisses fx

see dt, although you may not have meant it to, that statement in response to a sympathetic letter, seems a bit dismissive [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
regards the imipramine: it is one of the older class of antidepressants known as ‘tricyclic’s’…this class of drugs has many unpleasant side effects including sedation, disturbances of autonomic function, and also [b]weight gain and sexual disturbances[/b]…that is why the search continues for the ideal medication; each drug works differently for each person…and many people do not tolerate the side effects… if your ocd is well-controlled, then good for you, but don’t discard out of hand that you might not ‘change your mind’later about things, or that some of your emotions may be colored by the medication [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]…and no, don’t get angry and say that i am implying you are not thinking clearly; i am just pointing out that there is the possibility that your physiology might be somewhat blunted right now… [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
now can we finish talking about the original thread, whatever it was? [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
