did I read that right?  that's awesome if its true!!

I did see it on Twitter, but then I saw a reply on his MySpace from someone that said congrats to his engagement….

I think a lot of people have probably misunderstood, but if you look at his twitter post, and click on the name it contains, you’ll see someone else posted the original message.

I have a feeling that now this is started, it's a rumour that's going to be around for a long time.

Considering he felt the need to post:

Guys. Chillax. That was a retweet. Someone else's tweet reposted. Someone else got engaged. (Ironically, @idiotradar) A RE-TWEET.

It may stick around for a while. I think it's pretty sad that he felt the need to post a clarification. I still can't believe how quickly people react to something without reading, or more accurately comprehending what they're reading. It really shouldn't surprise me, but it still does… and will continue to drive me nuts.

I feel sorry for the poor guy, I bet he’s had hundreds of “congratulations” posts because people misunderstood him.

Nathan's twee reply LOL

NathanFillionGuys. Chillax. That was a retweet. Someone else's tweet reposted. Someone else got engaged. (Ironically, @idiotradar) A RE-TWEET.

WOW akajb…little harsh don’t you think??  It’s not that people don’t understand or comprehend what they read, its that they misunderstood that it was re-tweet….and not a tweet from Nathan.  So the misunderstaning stems more from not comprehending what they are reading, but from not totally understanding the whole twitter/re-tweet thing. 

Sorry, I just see this same sort of thing again and again – on forums/message boards, comments, articles, etc. And this time I just snapped.

You’re right this time, most people didn’t realize it was a re-tweet. However, most times it’s people reading something too fast, or skimming, and then immediately making a judgment on it and they don’t actually understand what they read.

ETA – I don't think I was too harsh. It does sum up my feelings on the subject quite well.

I was surprised when he did the re-tweet because I got what he said the first round. Sometimes my friends flip how they retweet things and he was one of them but it still made sense to me. Then when he retweeted I was like 'wow I never even guess that.' But I can see how it could be read wrong. I just didnt notice it the first time around.

Hm, this is the first time I've seen this. I know when I post it says something about moderators, but I believe my posts show up right away visible to everyone. Are new posters first posts guarded until they've been checked and then the poster gets added to some sort of "safe" list that lets them post unguarded?

Oh- Nathan had worse stuff happen to him in the past unfortunately.  He has been engaged before so this isn't new to him at all.  I seriously doubt he is going to lose any sleep over this.

I think it is amusing how many people care if he gets engaged or not.   I keep checking his tweets for any hints at a Dr. Horrible #2!

Interesting… I feel really bad for celebrities, specifically the ones who don't try to stick themselves in front of a camera, but just try to live their lives.

I'd be ecstatic if there was a Dr. Horrible sequel. I've heard rumours that they're planning one and I really hope it's true. Although, now that Dr. Horrible is in the evil league of evil, what would be his next goal?

Well, I think it would be incredibly ironic for someone in the evil league of evil to make a "life-ray" for a certain someone, if you know what I mean ;)

EDIT: here's one place where Nathan talked about the rumour back in 2003! (you may need to sign up to be able to view it) http://forums.prospero.com/fox…..g=669.7472

LOL I love Nathan's comment "I have so much to learn abot me?", Was probably a case of he was seen in public with the same woman twice! I realise actors are by the very nature of their job are in the public eye for they have the right to a private life too.

Its so cute that he signs off as "Cappy" LOL Nathan obviously has such fun with his fans but I suspect he's a dreadful tease, little bits here, little bits there.

That was from around the time Firefly was on the air, he and Adam Baldwin frequented the official Firefly Fox boards. Nathan didn’t post a lot but Adam Baldwin stayed around for quite a long time I believe.

I know in past interviews if Nathan was ever asked if he was single, he’d skilfully avoid the question without being rude about it, I respect him for wanting to keep his personal life personal.

Can't say I blame him, I'm sure he doesn't want to see his personal life spalshed all over the world's magazines for people to drool/gloat over. I'd rather read articles about his faboulous new show than his personal life, particularly if things aren't going so well.
