Can there be any more debate about quality of their character? The guy who started the thread has a moderator's hammer, for Christ's sake. Also, note that they get their news from the BBC. I mean, come on... _________________________ -OMAR

I know more about what happened than you do. And I can testify that Ken Applebaum wasn't the victim of anybody other than Ken Applebaum. I'm not saying any more about it than that. You shouldn't either. I'm pretty sure that I've known Ken for much longer than you have. There is a whole other side to the story you may not have heard. As it involves the attempted seduction of a married individual - and the steps that eventually had to be taken to restore normalcy to a household whose only fault was that it was too willing to open its home to those who claimed to be in need - I'm not going to get into details. _________________________ -OMAR

Hey, just ask Steve Bissette about the treatment he received there. What could possibly be their problem with Steve? _________________________ -OMAR

That irony wasn't really missed by anyone reading the forum. Thus the Stalin and Ming monikers given him. The real Stalin wouldn't have lasted long in any other dictatorship, either. Oh, and Mr. Ellis? Yes. This (forum) IS a zoo. Much like real life. And so? Life goes on.

Alan David Doane Member Registered: 05/25/01 Posts: 450	There's a brilliant summation of the WEF up now at Movie Poop Shoot. Here's a sample: "If Ellis had this amazing body of work, then maybe… If Alan Moore were to come to your house and shit on your lawn (which I understand he’s quite capable of doing), how much could you object? He’s ALAN fucking MOORE! He’s got the body of the work to shit on your lawn. Hell, he could shit on your grandmother after Chapter 4 of FROM HELL. Alan Moore could come to your Thanksgiving dinner, and violate your Thanksgiving turkey. Alan Moore could grab your girlfriend and they could create a comic called F FOR FUCKDETTA right in your brand-new car -- they could ruin the new car smell. Alan Moore could shoot the President. Fuck that -- the President could SHOOT ALAN MOORE, and Alan Moore would just turn around and put out an issue of PROMETHEA about how much death reminds him of Tarot Cards that we’d all still be too stupid to understand. Alan Moore could paint a giant black spot into the side of a mountain, and a train would come out and run over Warren Ellis and five of his friends, Chuck motherfuckin’ Jones-style, bitch. Because he’s got the body of work to back it up. Because he’s Alan Moore."
