No...I was typing as fast as I could, too.
ASSHOLES. I just don't get the hate for NZ. Jealousy? Just plain mean spiritedness? Bitches. (Of course, I'm assuming they're women.)

I went over to FX and found what you were talking about. I don't know if there is any truth to the allegations that have been made, but I do know that if enough people pass on gossip, pretty soon everybody believes it.This is unfortunate,because stars experience so much intrusion into their lives that they have to pull back in order to protect themselves and their families. Life was probably a whole lot easier for Timothy when he was less well known.
Here's an example: I related somewhere that my husband used to chastise me for talking to strangers.(I'm a friendly person by nature.)I stop in the supermarket and exchange recipes with people and talk to folks in the cat food aisle about what my cat might actually eat if I bought something new. A movie or tv star cannot do that. Everyone wants a piece of you, so you become very private. This is considered snobbery by some, while really it is just self preservation.
Imagine if Timothy were to read our thoughts about him. He might well hire full time body guards or join a monastery. But we mean him no harm---just the opposite. We love him from afar and dream about what it would be like to know him, both literally and biblically, but we don't stalk him or do anything that would harm him.I really wonder if some of these posters are just jealous or if they are mean spirited by nature. How sad..

That tool "hockeyfool' posted the Olyphant's home address in several different forums again. I hope they have a Rottweiler....or two. I reported it. FX might knock out the whole forum . And then we would lose all of our documented wisdom from the last 2 months...oh nooooo!

My husband's college buddy lives in Venice, CA. He's surrounded by 'celebrities' all the time and thinks absolutely nothing of looking over in a restaurant and seeing someone that might make us gasp. So I think the whole recognition thing isn't as much of an issue where they live, at least I hope not, because that could be a real bitch.
Thing is...people's lives are...their lives. Just because someone is in the public eye for whatever reason doesn't mean we have a right to know ANYTHING personal about them. They aren't our friends. What we do know, through the press or assume through watching them do interviews and such as 'themselves' may be true, or it may be a huge act. We don't and can't know.
BTW...Not Rotwielers...too friendly. LOL. I hope they have a couple of Akitas....in my experience those are the most territorial and protective dogs around. Even my best friend's dog barks and bares her teeth at me until she tells her to lie down.

Sorry, I had to post a comment in said thread. But I love it how an obviously trollish thread has turned into something of a civilised discussion . Maybe that's the best way to kill the trolls, politely converse them to death! "More tea, Vicar?"

I think you may be on to something there Anyways. I'm not quite sure anymore what they get out of it. We're past being SHOCKED by it. Nobody really gets ANGRY in their replies and like you said, we usually just keep right on talking as if nothing's been said by the OP, lol. Pretty funny really. If it weren't for the fact that their posts usually have such nasty titles, and our replies mean that it sticks to the front page, I could ignore them forever.

On the FX board I keep seeing negative posts pop up. I just overlook them. I wonder when they the trolls? will finally just give up. It is so like a play ground with bullies and that I find not real nice or cool.

You what is Karmic, that nasty post over at FX by 'adwill' turned into all of us trying to invite giselle back over here to our little party. How ironic.
'adwill' is a disturbed, childish hater, and her post attaching Natalie Zea just served to further isolate her. She got ignored and someone else got invited to the party. She's probably all worked up and fuming in her parent's basement.
Welcome giselle, and I hope you are in good health soon. BTW, what is the avatar from that you use over on FX??

You know, I posted a link to the tvline interview with TO on the Justified FB page and even though he calls out NZ as one of the actors he enjoys working with no one has commented negatively. I consider that a small miracle.

I find it kind of scary. The other day there was a post with a home address on it again. It was gone pretty quickly, but sometimes it seems like it is more than the usual troll stuff. At first I thought it was just an Ava fan who was mad at anybody that they saw as limiting her time on screen, but now it seems to be more directed. The internet can be a frightening place. I hope that everybody involved has some security in place.

motorcitymade, I'm feeling a lot better today. Thanks.That is an interesting thought/comment about Karma you said. I hadn't really thought of that but I guess it was. My avatar is from The Walking Dead. It is Andrew Lincoln and he is my second obsession next to Timothy. The character he plays on the show is a lot like how my man is so I use his icons.

I just got The Walking Dead on dvd. I've heard really good things about it. I'm anxious to watch, but my husband opposes anything with zombies, so I have to find a time when he's not around to watch. He actually said "I've watched the damn vampires and werewolves (True Blood, not Twilight...gag me) but I'm drawing the line at zombies." I'm still hoping to get him to the theater when World War Z comes out.
Have you seen The Crazies? I really liked that, too.

The Walking Dead is my second favorite show. It really is more about the survivors than zombies but it is graphic and intense at times. For being on t.v, at times it is a little like Dawn of the Dead but that graphic at least to me. And I do have Dawn of the Dead it is a good movie with some comic relief at times. I love The Crazies, I just saw it again twice on Tuesday on Starz Edge and I own it on dvd but keep watching every time it shows. I love his character David Dutton.What is interesting is that it is scary at times and graphic for being rated R but The Walking Dead is a little bit more .I'm surprised how much they show and are able to get a way with.

I hereby do solemnly swear that I will never again post on the FX board while PMSing. Gawd. What a mess. Why couldn't I just shut up?? Please, any of you who jumped in today, accept my sincere apologies. Ugh.
Now, I'm going to have a nice glass of wine and watch Falling Skies that I dvr'd last night.

wkw99. You shouldn't have to apologize for speaking your mind you have that right. As I said on the FX board just not today and not this week. I find myself struggling and trying to survive through a very long and difficult week for me and my emotions are everywhere. I can't see any light through this tunnel I am in until the week is over. Only hoping that everything will be okay and work out.And when I went there and read another post that wasn't nice I too just...

wkw, have you recovered from the nastiness over on fx.? You know that you and I disagree sometimes, but I value you posts, as I do everyone's. I just get upset when it gets ugly. I don't know why I go over to fx anymore. I keep hoping that there will be some fun discussions there. Silly me. I'd like yo get Elaine over here; I gave her the web address, but for some reason, she can't connect.
Keep on expressing yourself and let the others rant. We all have to vent, I guess.

Giselle, I'm sorry that things have been difficult for you lately. It sounds as if you are carrying a difficult burden. We are here for each other and hope that everything turns out okay. I just was reunited with a friend at church on Sunday. She was a regular member for many years, but has not been coming for a long time. She just found out that her son has Lou Gehrig's disease. He is in his forties. She needed to reconnect with people who loved her. We all embraced her and will support her through this terrible time. Whatever your burden, we are here for you.We have all experienced hard times and can understand. We have lost parents, husbands and friends to terrible situations. Don't feel that you can't reach out; we all care. God bless!

giselle, I am so sorry that you are having a difficult week. I hope that things work out and look brighter for you soon. My husband thinks it's silly, but I have gotten a lot of comfort from people he calls my 'imaginary friends' online. LOL. We are here for you. I'm sending you lots of positive energy and prayers today. I've been asking myself why I react so emotionally to those kind of threads/posts. I can think of two reasons. One, I really DO like Winona and I want her on the show as long as the show is on. I think her story and Raylan's are interconnected in a deep and irrevocable way and she is necessary. Two...I was bullied as a kid, and I've had my reputation threatened by false rumor and innuendo as an adult and I hate to see that happen to anyone. The very title of the post just made my blood boil. It's nothing to what you can read about her on other sites, and I wonder what it is that inspires such hatred, or if it's just one disgruntled person or a couple of people who have a beef with her....and/or TO. If I read one more suggestion that the only reason she is on the show with an expanded role is because they're having an affair I think my head may explode. OK...done. I think. I'll let you know later.

I am officially retiring from the FX board. It's just plain nasty over there. I don't think I've been a bully...I start my posts with "I think..." and I try not to get personal. dman and Knapp are just plain nasty, but they baited me and I took the bait, so it's my own fault.
I think I'll just stay here, where it's nice.

I've only learned 2 things from visiting that board for the past 2 years.
1. There are some really sweet people who are truly dedicated fans of Timothy and Justified, with whom it's a pleasure to converse. 2 There are some others whose sole purpose in life is to rile people up for their own amusement, with whom having a rational discussion is futile. I speak to the first, ignore the second, and live happily ever after on both boards.

I can do that 90% of the time...but obviously the last two days, not so much. So I'll give myself a break and go back later when I've gotten control of my urges. LOL.

I honestly don't know why I went to the FX board today. Thought things would be better over there, was I wrong.Some people who shall remain nameless just enjoy arguing and fighting I guess. Thanks mondayschild and wkw99 I do appreciate your thoughts and concerns.
