Doctor Tom Brent and His Flying Nurses
Get Marwood & I replied to Get Marwood & I's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
This is a good thread marWoodSir 👏👏🆒 it’s just there not too much demand for Brent an his nurses👎👎🙁 maybe if a movie was in the works ‼️‼️👏🆒😜 You're right Fog, it was wrong of me to call this thread a whole heap of horse sh as horse sh can serve a useful purpose. Yes, on reflection, dog sh would have been a more accurate description. -

Dear kav: Be honest, that one guy was never you, was it. -
Nice to see you back. One of the best threads on the boards is this

Thanks Mark Respectfully, Rock, I think you're tearing the arse out of all this. I know you're upset at being moderated against as a result of your interaction with Ben last year but it's not the great social injustice you're making it out to be (to my eyes at least). I've been moderated nearly 20 times in my short time here. Most were fair as I was being silly, usually masking rude words for comic effect in jokey posts. Tourettes is a crime around here you know. Some were less than fair and a few were clearly unfair. But I took them all on the chin. Some poor soul has to moderate this place, probably alongside other forums, and it must be a tedious job. Be honest, your name must come up every week given your contentious posting style. The mods must be as sick of seeing your name as they were of mine until I bit the bullet and changed my ways - and you've been at it for many more years than me Rock! The real story is somewhat less dramatic than you seek to portray. You upset some people, they reported on you (ner ner de ner ner) and, surprise surprise, the mods / CGC backed them as you have a self confessed history of trouble making on this forum (you've said yourself many times remember that you were one infringement away from a total ban). You know it, we all know it and the mods know it. So please, don't try to portray a three week ban from a comic chat forum for being habitually arsey as anything more than it is. Moving on to Ben, again, you're going way over the top here in my view. Ben is a passionate comic enthusiast. He's put a great blog together to share his passions. Many people like it and contribute to it. It has so much to commend it. He's made some mistakes on his blog, for sure. I'm confident that he would have willingly worked through them with you had you not rubbed him up the wrong way from the word go with that 'holier than thou / nothing less than 100% accuracy will suffice (to your rules) / you are disingenuous' ball breaking routine of yours, the one that gets you constant moderator attention and, on this forum, countless otherwise decent threads locked. But now he refuses to engage with you - rightly so some may think - and he is forced to rely of the testimony of Chuckles and others until someone with 'answers' can come forward and debate / clarify with basic human decency. So Ben doesn't deserve to be lambasted by you at every turn I feel, just because he refused to engage with you because you spoke to him like he was a half wit. You can have all the factual right in the world on your side Rock but if you can't find away to get it across to people without upsetting them, your efforts will drown in a sea of self inflicted hostility. You know this. As for John McClure, no, he did not discover the 30/35 cent variants. I like John (based on our email discussions) and have respect for the work he has done and tried to share. He is actually very humble, despite the claim appearing to prove otherwise. I agree that it was - is - unwise of him to say he 'discovered' them. I think the scenario is this. No one person or persons have been accurately credited with discovering them. It's not like they were some new country and he was the first to land on it. They were all over the place and many, many people will likely have 'discovered' them at some point. What John did was promote their existence to the fullest extent. He was the first to do that. I did not discover L Miller indicia variants. The board member ewanuk did, when he posted the first picture of one. But he did no more on it. I did not discover them, but I sure as hell would lay claim to be the first person who investigated and promoted their existence to the extent that they are now known. So I am a little kinder to John for his conceit here than you are Rock. He made the most noise about them, and no one person or persons (to my knowledge) had their own claim to fame cast aside because of it. My advice to him would be to drop, or at least amend the claim. But I'm not going to cast him as the Devil, or a thief as you put it, for his failure to do so thus far. I like Ben and John, having had good dealings with them personally. The things you accuse them of, I have put an alternative view point on, that's all. Others can make up their own minds. You can come back at me all you like Rock with either the disdainful no comment, the 'unexpectedly' terse comment, or the full blown line by line dissection that you appear to take pride in delivering. I won't respond to one word of it as you are incapable of giving one scintilla of ground on anything. Ben and John can take up the bat from here if they choose, but I suspect they will keep their distance for the same reasons I now will, if indeed they are even aware we are talking about them (too busy having lives I would suspect). Rock, I tried unsuccessfully to engage you on a number of fronts because I wanted your views on the things I was interested in. Your comic knowledge seems deep and wide reaching. But you have a tendency to turn everything into a confrontation, however well intentioned the party before you is, and, from that point, You. Can. Not. Be. Reasoned. With. So you have had a go at Ben and John, I have put a different slant on it and then have had a go back at you as you - in my opinion - deserve to hear it. There's been a history on these boards of what others have called 'calling out the BS'. I've had it done to me, with some justification, looking back. Rock, I'm calling you out on your BS today. To the reader - look at my 'about me' page, then look a Rocks. Decide who you think is just trying to share comic knowledge in a fun way here, and who is an obsessed conspiracy theorist who wants to lecture everyone. Then put yourself in Bens shoes, and try to see why things turned out as they did here

Greatest supervillain of all time any universe
Get Marwood & I replied to Hollywood1892's topic in Comics General
I thought death was a woman and thanos married her? Never mind all that, the wheel was at least seven foot tall. He could sit in it and wheel along really fast. Obviously he could do wheelies, not much choice on that front really, but my God, what do you do with a bloke in a wheel? How do you fight that? -

Ultimately, Death will have an admirable success rate, polishing off the super heroes. So he can't be easily dismissed. But don't forget the Big Wheel, who was arguably as fearsome. I mean, look at that wheel of his. Really big. -
Advice on Restoring a Trimmed AF15

It's a nice looking copy and you'll be the envy of many for having it. Welcome on board Foosman -
I thought mine was "No" I remember reading the Target novel, and drawing the lobster for DWB. But I don't think I ever saw the actual episode, alas.

You rather like her, don't you Bats I remember the 97 version of her in Shooting Fish. I saw a lot of films in 97, and remember her in that one. I can't recall too much about the plot or anything like that, but the one overriding memory I do have is "phwoooar"
