The weird thing is there was a Bronze (and Beta: Bronze) poster named FASTEddie who is a sweetheart and married to another former Bronzer, and had nothing to do with any of it, as far as I know.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Well, "Fast" Eddie Felson *is* an iconic character.

Oh, I know! I was just surprised to see that name.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Was he even on WX? I thought he appeared here.
I'm pretty sure I remember him delurking on WX. But still.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
You know, all I can do when I hear about undead (zombie?) Gus the Scammy Psuedicide is laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.
I don't remember the creation of TV Tropes involving any other buffista, certainly not two more who had known Gus for decades, and who were there since Salon. The whole story is false, I'm saying.
Well, YEAH. Kind of like his entire presence here.
Sorry. Done shouting. Why am I still so nettled about it all?
Because of how he lied his ASS off and scammed the shit out of us?
...or maybe that's just me.

What was the Gus deal? I was here, but I think that happened during one of massive skip times (i.e. during a release cycle).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Because of how he lied his ASS off and scammed the shit out of us?
Was there a scam? With money?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Sorry; I knew when I typed "scam" that people would think I meant money.
I meant "scam" more in the sense of "big lying faker who lied his ass off." There was no money involved, as far as I know.

Gud, on 12/31/06, a new poster named Kimi posted in Bitches to tell us Gus - a poster of some duration, most active in the Firefly thread - was dead. The saga of what happened next is told in Buraucracy 3: Scrappy "Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?" Jan 1, 2007 12:07:02 am PST

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Normally when I get home from wherever, mine will eventually jump on top of me for skritches within a matter of minutes after I settle onto the couch.
When I come home, my kitty will sit on my lap within seconds of me sitting down. And before I sit down, she gets all impatient with me for wasting valuable lap-sitting time.
