Thanks Sam, yeh the quote is from War of the Worlds. (Although I much prefer Richard Burton's reading of it)
I used it cos if anyone wants to read some really good fantasy writing (instead of a mish mash) you can't go wrong with old Wells. Or Huxley, willie, even Lovecraft. Hubbard would sound a bit like Mikey I think!
As for the panic Welles broadcast caused I'm afraid that has blown out of proportion and the truth has been distorted through the ages. Infact there wasn't large groups of people marching to meet the Martians. Infact there was only one person who foned to say the machines were marching toward Washington. The whole reaction of the populace was alas a "publicity stunt" created by the radio station. Sorry Sam, the only way this is like Orson's broadcast is, that too lied to people to make them scared enough to listen.
I read this from the Mythconceptions section of (Mikey's favourite mag) Fortean Times!
Now everyone puh-leeze...Mikey is desperately trying to write a final chapter to the corner he's painted himself into and bring all of this together...so come on now...bit of quiet puh-leeze. _________________ "No one would have believed, in the last years of the 20th Century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have believed we were being scrutinised as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few people even considered the possibility of life on other planets, and yet across the gulf of space minds immeasurably superior to our own regarded this Earth with envious eyes. And slowly and surely they drew their plans against us.” |

I, for one, am brewing tea and waiting for what will hopefully be today's instalment. I rarely, if ever, wear socks and I just love everybody
Michael could announce now that he's the chief commander of a intergalatic mission to liberate earth, and not a ghost at all, and it wouldn't make an ounce of difference to me. I'm enjoying the story

WELL SAID ANNA!!!! ..... Mooks,by being so vidictive,you are probably spoiling it all for those of use who are genuinely interested in reading what Michael has to say......I would like to hear the end of his story ( for he constantly reminds that it is just that.A Story.) and I know that there are others who would like the same.OK,so you're angry with him...but the firecracker you have just unleashed on him is,I feel,unjustified.You even say at the end of your post ,(to Anna) that it is just a story!!! Chill, Mooks!!
I agree with Ekaterina..maybe we DO need a group hug!!

I understand what you are saying in the fact that you and many others are still very interested in the outcome of the story. I for one and many others as well have lost interest in THE STORY, as i/we feel the story ended with the e-book. Still i can understand where you are coming from.
In the defence of mooksta. I feel and quite rightly so that his attack was just, in the fact i think he feels Mr Pennington is the agressor here in his Neuro Linguistic Psychotherapy teachings here to make you think, with out consent. Just see mooksta`s post as just that, A POST. I also know of some who have been following, although just a story have been affected very badly. If only you knew and heard some of the personall effects this had had on some people i am sure you would understand. Regardless of the story, the content if looked into can be harmfull to some one with a fragile mind, I am sure Mr Pennington knows this.
I think it would be Best Mr Michael Pennington if your next post was to be the conclusion of your writing here. I am sure and i can see that you are a little frustrated at the thought of you keep coming back here, it has shown in your writings at times.
The only way you will become human again. is if you get some of your DNA from your bones and use the techno that these beings have to create a clone of you, this way you could also the guide of the new you.
Admin,
Why has Mooksta been banned, he was only voicing his veiws on the suject, this has been what MP has wanted all along. MP has said, ok in a more polite manner, many things here that have been much more offensive and desturbing to some people, and yet he is still allowed to write his story. _________________ Professor Badger of Pennington College |

OK just what have we missed. I see I was right about the micah postings then but the rules did seem pretty clear to me. Im just hovering on the border line myself and hanging in here. I hope the beans arent offended. I did have a go at the beans.

Sorry Badger I totally disagree. Not about the content of whatever the post said but in the statement - to make you think with out consent. What? Are we morons or something? Without consent. I find that ridiculous and an insult and as for personal affect if I see a TV program or film I dont like then I turn the darned thing off.
Sorry Mooksta got banned though. In my opinion it has become so obvious that this has become a story that I cant believe that anyone would take it on face value. If what you find in these pages disturbs you then seriously you shouldnt be allowed to surf the internet.
Blame Johnny Vegas. Its him and his sea serpents!

I think if anything this message board proves just how annoyingly selfish and impatient humans are. Why are people getting so annoyed with Michael (wanting wanting begging begging all the time) and if they are not getting they attack! This of course doesn't apply to everyone here but i am sure we have all noticed the behavior. As we keep being reminded over and over again it is JUST A STORY!! nobody but OURSELVES can be responsible for the effect that this story may have on our minds or lives.
If anyone has been severely effected by the story I am sure you will find that is is not a directly related to the story we have heard, but more likely the information people have found behind it when researching the internet with clues from Michaels story. Therefore people have subjected themselves to this information and not Michael himself. _________________ http://birmingham.pagina.nl |

Its good to disagree, and we are all entitled to our opinions. But i feel before you do, you need to understand where i a m coming from, as you stated you did not know what my post was about, and that you dont beleive people dont know this is just a story.
Some people that have read this story have taken it on board, not that they are Morons, just that they as you would put it 'something'
We are being fed material all the time by what we see, without even knowing about it. So to turn of to this, as you would if you didnt like it, would mean you walking around with your eyes, infact all your senses obscured.
The fact that you state we are 'morons' in question form, Is not to be taken as an insult, just goes to show that you really dont know anything about how the brain works or the effects of outside influance on it. That is fine if you just want to self preserve.
To be honest if i thought that people where morons i would have said it. You work for the airlines, i work with people with mental conditions.
From what i said in my post i know to be right. Some people are not like you, in fact we all ,as you know are very differant with our thought process and thinking patterns. And i was simply stating, that some who have a fragile mind and can not, i repete can not turn off have been upset with this. Show some compasion to others who are not as cognitivley strong as you.
I have defended Mooksta simply becouse he has been here from the start. And he also has seen the effects on one other person who has been effected by this. He knows this is a story and he knows it to be one that has developed into a farce. He is in fact a very clever man indeed,
Easyjetter i am not a confrontational person, and every thing i say is as everyone knows who was here from the start all in my opinion. I am after all allowed that the same as everyone else. _________________ Professor Badger of Pennington College |

Freedom of speech springs to mind (or lack of it) my own opinion of course, i dont think mooksta should have been banned after all he's been here since the beginning and he and badger have provided us (or most of us ) with a lot of info , i read mooksta's post and its his own opinion ,just as anyone who posts here have there own opinion , i have enjoyed reading michaels post myself but in my *opinion* it is becoming farcical but it is addictive. if michael is getting nothing else out of all this ,he's certainly getting a reaction, is this your intention michael ? because i think we've been here before
sorry no offence meant to anyone *off my soap box now *  |

What the hell is going on.I go out to the pub and come back to find Mooks banned.Why?
Has someone lost the plot.
Mooks you are the weakest link.Goodbye.
Freedom of speech we've all heard of it,anyone understand what it is?
Tracey here,here.Some sanity.I second that.
Can't write anymore,I'm in an alcohol induced time warp and it's time for bed.
Michael please don't take offence.I am but a weak and feeble woman but I have the drinking capacity of a man!

Well said tracy - couldn't agree with you more.
It's a shame that mooks couldn't share in the end of this when he has been so actively involved since the beginning and I agree with Badger that it is okay to say that no-one should get worked up about this but it does happen.
After all, isn't it Michael who is telling everyone that this is true.
Unfortunately, not everyone is able to separate this from reality and there are people also who have had very unusual experiences in the past who may believe that Michael is explaining them all.
Hope this story does continue but as Michael has said himself this will come to a conclusion soon. _________________ When all you have left is the story - then the story we must follow |

To be fair to 'Admin', can it be confirmed that Mooksta - or anyone on the board has indeed been banned?
I ask as I have read that were a couple of problems concerning the board which is preventing some from posting and that may be the reasoon.
Or am I missing some critical piece of info that confirms certain people have been banned? _________________ So how will it end?.... |

Right then. I'm all for a group hug.
And I think that banning Mooky or anybody else was really rather odd. Everyone is entitled to post their opinion and Mooky has been here since the very beginning. I think it's a conspiracy because'someone' is jealous of how smashing Mooky looks in a yellow frock!
We want Mooky!

I shall have to agree to disagree with you Badger. I have looked back over these posts. Its easy to see where its all gone wrong. The usual thing. Starts off with a nice crowd. Arguments and a split half way through. Moderator makes peace. All hunky dory until volcano erupts again.
Considering your concerns for the less stable of mind why would you draw reference to 11th plain need for human DNA and make comments like - Michael. You have been dragged into something that you will not like. It has been proved over our times with the alien nations that not all are genuine in fact most are liars and there is an alternative agenda.
Now correct me if Im wrong but Michael never said this so who is being the aggressor and who is being made to think without our consent? Are we being fed material here? Things put in our mind.
And then you go and open an unmoderated chat room without an 18 age limit which would have been easy ( correct me if Im wrong and if the badgerset room is not yours - if so apologies ) just to disucss the subject.
Now I dont want to have a go at you personally Badger but look how it seems. Then look back at some of Mooksta comments. Talk about unstable and irrational, he even admits it himself. This will cause people to worry. Look at all the links people have posted. Worrying or what. Not Michaels work I might add.
In my opinion its not Michael we have to worry about. I think its time to hang up our boots. Michael its been great fun while it lasted. Move on to pastures new. Your wasting your time here mate. Id have gone long ago.
Out of the ranks comes Flyspy. What a woman. Finally some common sense. Yes indeed the information people have found behind it all. I love the Dutch. Im going to buy tulips from now on.
Bring back Mooksta! What did he say anyway? |

Sorry but I just have to get my two cents in. Mooks has always seemed to me the joker type, someone who says what he feels some times and other times is totally pulling your leg. Deep down he is a good egg. He might have said some things to offend, but as has been said so have others and not been banned. A certain person that I had issue with is still able to post on this forum after calling another outright offensive names. Why he wasn't banned I'll never know.
BTW, the post Mooks made has been pulled. |

Oh dear --- I've been debating whether or not to get involved in this. Here goes....
For those who don't know, and as Georgie already said, Mooks' post has already been removed from the forum. The content was a little strong but I don't see why admin could not have removed the offending sentence(s) instead of pulling the whole thing. Although the content was most definitely insulting to Michael, I'm sure Mooks had his reasons and I can understand the frustration which probably led to him posting it (wish you could speak for yourself Mooks!).
As Leki said; "After all, isn't it Michael who is telling everyone that this is true." This is SO right, and should be kept in mind. He isn't blameless. Michael has said we should 'take this as a story' but at no time has he said it IS a story. And I think that's the basic problem. For those of us who require proof when such outlandish claims are made, we require a little more. And it's frustrating that Michael won't go that extra yard to either 'own up' to this little charade or give us some proof that it's real.... If you're happy to sit back and take it all in with no ill effects, then good for you! I for one would like to know what/who is really behind it.
I guess now we have all come so far with this 'story' it's only natural we should have strong opinions about it. Many of us has been here from the beginning, or thereabouts, and feel pretty involved So perhaps we can agree to disagree and learn to live with our differences of opinion? Please? I've been reading lots of things here I don't understand or don't agree with but this is (I think) the first time I've felt the need to post about it at length. Perhaps we should all pull back a little?
Group Hug!!!!

And Admin, twice I'm asking this - Can you or Can you not put images into or as signatures?
