Even though his rants and vandalizations of these forums are quite bad I still wouldn't recommend members here causing general harassment of his family and certainly not in the name of OT.Com.
Jay being owner of the site is fully within his rights to call down the wrath of the gods on the little peckerwood though.
On the other hand, what forums members do with publically available information and on their own time is their own business.

Also, how many comics did he write for it? Just the three? I would hope that there were a LOT more stories to be told!

I agree as I said... I guess my friend just found it easier to relate to River's character.

From Gaffer Tape:
I'm now not sure if I want to see anymore Firefly material because I just don't see how it will be as good without... well, you know.
I'm now not sure if I want to see anymore Firefly material because I just don't see how it will be as good without... well, you know.
Actually my thought was that you could do a couple of 'fill-in' movie/specials... focusing on what happened between the end of Firefly and the start of Serenity. That way ALL the cast could be there just as they were originally and other characters' stories could be focused on.
Speaking of- I think I've mentioned this elsewhere but I'd like to know what various people here think: From watching Firefly *first* before the film, I perceived the show to be mainly about Mal- about what led him to be where he is and about how his convictions and his new 'family' would help him find his place in the universe (though he may not have known he was looking for it). I saw River's story as being important, but just one of the tales of the extended family and essentially a plot device that would lead to a season's worth of stories.
A friend who watched and loved 'Serenity' but never saw Firefly perceived the overall story as being about River, and Mal and the rest were just devices needed to tell River's tale. This would again cast Mal in a 'Han Solo' type supporting role to River's 'Luke Skywalker'.
So my question is- if the series had lasted, whose story do you think it would have been?

On Topic, 3 films I really have to agree with are Star Trek V, Jaws: The Revenge, Caddyshack II. Those were painful to watch. 
Though ST V is gloriously bad, it has grown on me for the sheer hubris of Kirk taking on 'God'. All I can picture now it Kirk and God, each with ripped shirts, engaging in fisticuffs.
Well that and the 'Where No Fan Has Gone Before' episode of Futurama in which Shatner talks about what a great performance he got out of himself.

I was browsing online for pics from the 1994 Diamond Comics Retailer Seminar in Baltimore and found some folks who had written up a blow-by-blow of the seminiar. For me, the most enjoyable evening was spent at Dave Sim's indy comics hotel bar party. The following document gives you a good feel for the night. I'll try and post some of my own pics from the event as soon as I dig them out, but for now this is an amusing read:
More reports from the seminar HERE.

Sunday June 12
Dave Sim's Radisson Party #1
9:15
After cruising by the parking garage to drop off the day's freebies
& pick up more signables, we wander to the Radisson Hotel bar. The
atmosphere is smoky but very comfortable and friendly. There is a
large wide oval, with Dave Sim at the center of the far wall.
An approximate seating chart: ^^^^^^^^^^ [to Wizards -->
| [to the bar] of the Coast]
| +--+ Rick
| fans | |Veitch (jeff mason)
| fans +--+
| fans fans fans (patman) (me) +
| Brad +---+ +---+ Mark +--+ |
| Moore | | fans | | Hempel | | Colleen|
| +---+ +---+ +--+ Doran |
| Batton Jim Steve Dave James Mark |
| Lash Valentino Bisette Sim Owen Wheatley (george z) fan |
\--------------------------------------------------------------/
Of course, everyone ended up moving around for signings & booze.
I'm about to hit the bar, so I ask Colleen if she wants anything.
Several people express interest in seeing Colleen drunk. She yells
at Dave for his 'bunny in the headlights' picture. Someone produces
a copy for her. "This is my best known photo, and I look terrible
in it! Besides, I don't drink! It was a setup!" Dave is laughing,
pleased at his success.
Food arrives, Patman & I help Colleen with her cheesesteak & reuben.
Colleen is easily the most bouncy non-drunk person in the room.
She's also making a bundle of money right now by selling original
art. She mis-estimated her taxes, and needs the cash to pay for
next issue's printing bill.
James Owen swings by with a box full of comics -- several issues of
Starchild & A Distant Soil, ready to be signed. I'm waiting for
the TPBs.
Jeff & Pat sent their sketchbooks into the loop a while back, and
are getting a look at the preliminary results -- damn good. As
Dave Sim has said in the past, the higher the artist to fan ratio,
the better the sketches. Jeff shows me some interesting jams.
I finally take a time out & pass my Jaka's Story up to Dave. He
signs it for my girlfriend.
Jim Valentino seems like a decent guy. Up until the moment I watch
him draw a Captain Everything, I didn't realize he is the creator
of normalman. Wow! To get his start under Dave Sim, this explains
why he donates Shadowhawk's back cover to small press books. I
suppose everyone already knew that. :-\
Mark Hempel is skimming through a copy of _Comic Book Artists_, and
is rather annoyed that he isn't in it. Mark Wheatley tries to
console him. It's really just a mainstream listing. Mark is
taking a break from standard comics after The Kindly Ones ends.
Mark is designing a humor comic called Tug-n-Buster, and hopes to get
it printed in Details magazine. The rate per page as a magazine
cartoonist is high multiple times that of a comics artist. Also,
"DC pays better than Vertigo pays better than Pirhana." So there
will definitely be no new Gregory unless a story really grabs him.
Mark *would* like to do Tug-n-Buster as a creator owned comic, though.
He's not really ready to self publish, so he's looking at Blackball,
maybe Dark Horse. Who are Tug-n-Buster? "They're just these two
dumb guys, but they're MY two dumb guys! I think they'll be really
funny, with more mainstream appeal. Sort of my Simpsons to Gregory's
Life in Hell."
At 10:45 the Fantagraphics crew arrives. They take a corner booth
near the bar and snicker a lot. Not the friendliest atmosphere; I
don't think they were expecting all of us to be here. Peter Bagge
reluctantly signs my Bradleys TPB. They leave within an hour.
I'm hanging out with some friends from Geppi's when I hear someone say
"Jim Lee is here." I look around, saying "where?" when I realize he's
walking right past the booth. "Hi, Jim!" He smiles & replies "Hi",
but it's obvious that he wasn't expecting so many of us. He retreats
from the bar for a minute, then regains his composure and wades in to
the crowd to sign. Nice guy.
Rob Liefeld is behind him, but I don't see him signing anything.
Shortly after that, Larry Marder corrals the Image guys, including
Jim Valentino, and takes them back to their suite for a staff meeting.
At 11:10 Jeff Smith & Vijaya Iyer pull up to the bar & get some drinks.
Apparently Jeff Mason has been chatting with them regularly by phone,
so he monopolizes conversation for a bit. Jeff Smith is pretty goofy,
but a nice guy. As various people point out, he's Fone Bone with hair.
Vijaya is friendly & quite articulate, an excellent choice for chief
executive. They are moving back to Columbus Ohio & buying a house, to
save on taxes & cost of living.
Jeff moves into a back to back position with Dave Sim. A pair of lines
snake towards them, apparently they are deeply engaged in a sketch war.
Neither one looks up much.
Next on my schedule is James Owen, who is experiencing a lull at 11:40.
He's still working hard to stay on schedule & win Dave Sim's bet. Last
night he did new pages in his hotel room. Starchild seems to be paying
off, because he's planning to buy some land in Ireland & establish
residency there. Irish law says artists & writers pay no income tax.
"Summer in Ireland, winter in Arizona." Good life.
Swinging around the room again, I hear Colleen ranting about how clerical
errors at Diamond screwed up the release of her ADS starter packs by
four months. Most of the delays ADS has experienced over the years were
due to the publisher or the distributor, not due to slow art. And now
that she's the publisher too, her only problems are Diamond & Capital.
At midnight Scott McCloud shows up. He chats with James for a bit, then
Dave. I get a cute signiature/sketch in Understanding Comics, with
Scott spouting a word balloon full of icons.
I ask "When did you start working on UC? How long have you thought about
this stuff?" A lot longer than I expected. Scott has been researching
the comics medium since at least 1983, before he even started Zot! He
never stopped studying, and eventually he had enough material for a
serious book. Gee, that sounds easy enough.
Back at my Baltimore locals table, we share beers with Jesse Falcon, a
sales rep for Toy Biz. Jesse got into the comics biz by writing random
applications to companies. One of his letters was mislaid on the right
person's desk at Marvel, and they gave him a job. Now he plans to
accidentally put other people applications on his boss's desk, and
continue the cycle.
Jesse was at the Marvel table during Frank Miller's speech. He wanted to
laugh his head off, but was afraid for his job. He suggests a slogan:
"Toy Biz: we're not the Evil Empire, we're just their sister."
About 1:00 I'm starting to fade away, and I really want to catch Scott
McCloud's talk tomorrow at breakfast.
On the way out I hear one more Colleen Doran rant -- she's been making
them all night, a multitude of reasons why self publishing is the best.
"I make more money from 10000 copies of A Distant Soil than from 100000
copies of Silver Surfer. Marvel's royalty program, excuse me, Marvel's
incentive gift program, is a joke." She explains the myriad conditions
and limitations that Marvel puts on its artists. Original art is not
returned because they have to, it's returned out of generosity. She
says DC isn't much better.
As I head through the lobby, I stumble across Wizards of the Coast.
They've been hanging out all night, playing Deckmaster & other games
(not necessarily their own) with passers-by. It turns out they won
the 'Best Game Product' award, but TSR maintained its sweep of 'Best
Game Company'. Nevertheless, they're damn happy, and why not? Magic
has made them rich.
I decline to play, and claim apathy to The Addiction. One of them
wishes he were immune to it, and asks me for a blood transfusion.
Another hands me a rulebook & some brochures, lest I escape their
spell. This week I bought my first starter pack...

I *will* be picking up Book of Lost Souls soon as it does look really good. Plus Colleen Doran is a cutie.
(I'll have to post a pic from when a group of us went drinking with the indy press guys and gals about 10 years (and for me about 50 lbs) ago. Fun night!I think I am as officially caught up on IC as I will be, having read:
Return of Donna Troy
Day of Vengeance
Villians United
The OMAC Project
Rann-Thanagar War
Prelude to IC
Countdown to IC
Superman Sacrifice
and finally last night reading IC issues 1-5!
***possible spoilers for those who haven't read Infinite Crisis 1-5 yet below***
Overall I am very much enjoying it with, imho, the weakest parts being the 'magic' and the 'space war' story elements. I dig the magical parts of the DCU but the whole thing seems wasted or just tacked on. I know I'm probably missing something out of the whole pile of crossovers that I haven't read but so be it. I AM looking forward to the 'Shadowpact' ongoing series but mainly because I'm a long-time fan of Bill Willingham and it'll be great to see him writing AND drawing a title again.
The 'space war'... meh. Other than positioning a bunch of heroes at 'the center of the universe' I don't see much point for it yet. We'll see.
The issue of IC that had Superman confronting Batman- wow. Powerful. The 'last time you inspired anyone was when you were dead!' line.....
I can smell what they're going to do with Superman of Earth-2 and... well... I just hope its suitably heroic. I like him- a lot. Though I've never been a Superboy (in any incarnation) fan I hope they go into more about why he went ape-shit. I guess being caught in a bubble would do it but he IS the same person as the other Supes, with the same upbringing. I also liked Alex Luthor in COIE so its a shame to see him become yet another Luthor villain (even if his intentions seem just, which comes more and more into question). I'm guessing *our* Lex will end up helping to save the day, no matter how reluctantly.
As far as Flash goes... they damn well better leave Barry alone. Was that him? Dunno. But leave him dead. PLEASE. His was the most valiant part of COIE and should, again INHO, but the pin that keeps all Flashes if not all DC heroes who knew him anchored.
I also hope that Ted Kord, aka Blue Beetle, gets the props he deserves. 'Countdown' was really sad in as much that he really was always underappreciated and everyone just blew him off and dismissed his opinion. The best humanization of a character I've read in a mainstream book (outside of an Elseworlds, What If, etc) in quite some time and of course... BLAMMO! Even the cover on 'Countdown' was a tease as of course his body was cremated and all that was left was his mask. I actually wish that cover scene would have taken place- it would have really galvanized the heroes.
I didn't pick up any of the OYL titles this week. Its funny- I'm just getting re-interested in where they all are *now*, and then the editorial staff at DC mandates that everyone has to change after IC.

Its my Scandinavian roots- when your people had to sit around in a single-room dwelling for something like eight months of winter you had to do *something* to amuse yourself...
photoshop... trashing the land that would be Great Britain... throwing rolling pins... its all the same.
