There is a way to say what you really think and still be say it in a proper manner.

Also, many were called trolls because their first - and often only - contribution to the forum was to insult JB and the forum. Not a great way to make a good first impression.

 

And many had hundreds of posts (and hundreds of hundreds) over here before they became banned.

I celebrated my 1300th post "down under" with an Al Rio "boob shot".

If you want to know what really goes on there, join the forum and you too will have unrestricted access to all the bells and whistles.

My dissenting opinions are all over this board.  Check the Steve Irwin, Fantastic Four Movie and a half dozen or more religion threads, just to name a few.

The atmosphere is so...welcoming, and friendly. A complete lack of the pissing matches that are part of parcel of every message board in existance.

They give MBs a bad name. :p"

Us IMWANkers take that as the highest compliment. :)

Serge is right. They shit here and keep their own home clean, at least on the outside. Reminds me of that David Chappelle skit of Rick James and his dirty boots.

It's more stuff you can take back to your secret board - the one separate from IMWAN. Where you guys praised JB here and made fun of him over there. I know because I was lurking there years back. Hypocrites.

Wait a minute. A secret board made up of John Byrne fans to make fun of
him behind his back? That sounds bizarre.

What guys from here are in it, Joe?

It was weird. They called it "The Great Refuge" after the city of the Inhumans. Many of them were previously banned members. One was actually the head moderator of this board. Most of them are no longer on this board, though.

Thanks for the explanation, Joe. Sounds kind of strange to me.

I'm sorry to sound so angry. I found it by accident around when they first set it up. The difference between the "public face" they presented on this board and opposite attitudes they expressed privately was stunning. That's the final bit I'm going to say on this thread.

What's secret? John Benson posted very clear directions to it at the top of this page. And believe me, nobody who's making fun of JB over there is praising him to his face.

 One used to be the head moderator of this board? I know who you're talking about! She was banned? Really? Joe, If I may ask,what did she do?  Does this 'Great Refuge' still exist?
