Dude;

I'd be FUMING too, if it were my name!

I would contact the originator of the petition (or at least webmaster of the site), inform them of the shenanigans, demand that your name be removed, and that the individual(s) who can be traced as having posted your name be censured in some way (say, with a Chain Of Command).

Then, if you've got some time and money to burn, you might consult with (shudder) an attorney, to see if any redress is available (whether criminal, for ID theft, or civil, punitive-wise). This last should not be done lightly, as the courts are clotted enough as it is. But I for one wouldn't judge you for going that way. One doesn't have to lose money for ID theft to still be a Big Deal, IMHO.

Have at 'em!

Someone read your name on this board then put it on that petition. Had to make sure they didnt do the same to me. Since they picked on you it might be someone you know. Have you broken up with anyone lately?

I am not worried about the bullet with my name on it. Just the thousands marked "Occupant".

Yes, I think you're right. Daniel (and any other whose name has been stolen), I strongly suggest you contact Petition Spot and tell them what's going on - they're not interested in rogue petitions, as it undermines their own reputation.

Though I can't help thinking it's more of a sarcastic black humor that's behind this than bona fide hatred of the show - check out some of the comments, e.g.: "Bill the Janitor: dis sho wuz like somfin offa my mop. I eat poo." or "itsgonarain: And children's parents will throw feces at them from the rooftops??" or "Grandpa Joe: My grandson made me watch that show and it gave me hemorrhoids! Thanks a lot." Can't take those too seriously.

I know for a fact that one of the names on that list is an alias of Succatash (a member here)... and he would also never say the comment that they have him saying.

I'm sorry but what stupid fool would even waste their time doing such a petition - I mean each to their own, and I think it's all actually quite HI-larious myself (apart from those here that had their sigs snatched) but the shows been gone from FOX for over a year so why waste your time trying to stop it returning to FOX - most likely Joss will take it somewhere else anyway - not to mention that- why would FOX care anyway they're the ones that canned it in the first place.

The whole thing is quite silly really, with no real purpose or effect.

and yeah I agree, it sounds very much like someone (1) wrote the whole thing themselves - get a life, if ya don't like a show, then watch something you do like - it's that easy dumbass.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.


I wouldn't take it too seriously UCLAMathGuy. Looks like nothing more than one or two people who have some mad on for Firefly and are making up or stealing names & making idiotic comments. Just reading the foolishness they wrote should tell you that no one anywhere, especially at Universal, will take this trash seriously.

It sucks they stole your name, and I would definitely send an email to the PtB over at the website to let them know you did not sign the petition and you want your name removed. The least they will do is remove your name. The best case scenario will be that they remove that travesty altogether.

Okay... this is clearly a practical joke. I don't know who is behind it, but no one could possibly read these comments and take them seriously.

I will agree with one thing, though. Firefly should be kept off of Fox. It ought to be aired where it will be appreciated and treated well. Hell, I'd rather see it on HBO. At least they're favorable to Westerns and Original Thinking there.

My name is on it as well so somebody forged my signature.

I sent an e-mail to the site. Hopefully something is done immediately.

My forged signature was #14 'Richard Kenneth Lenseth' which is my full name.

I am also going to ask for the information of the people that forged my signature and get a lawyer knocking at their door. This is illegal and is considered identity theft and if someone doesn't catch at something like this then they will most likely forge credit cards and social security cards to steal someone identity and money if they aren't already.

I'm going to contact both my District Attorney today and see if actual legal action can be made against these assholes.

Gorram alliance moles. Got a pin in us for sure.

However I doubt your DA is going to do anything about a posting on a petition website. I'm no lawyer but I doubt that counts as identity theft.

As an attorney I can tell you two things.

1. The courts may seem overcrowded, but I say we need more lawsuits. My student loan payments are terrible.

2. Unless you have alot of your own money to spend on your attorney (like some celebrities), then losing money, and I mean alot of money, is the only way you'll find an attorney to help you.

Bill the Janitor was me. I thought it was funny. Jimmy the farmer was me too for the record.

And yes I do think MB has nice boobies, however she does also have some other very nice qualities.

Hi,

Thanks for letting me know.

I'm going to e-mail the website but I don't think that I have a case as its not my real name. However hopefully it might support the rest of you that he used the full names of.
