Hello list, I am the infamous Ivan Fan. I just joined the list (although I was here under a different email address a few years ago) and was a lurker on the MWH board. First my deep apologies to katteal123@yahoo.com as I didnt realize she would be accused of something she didnt do. Although I was registered as a guest, I did list this email address although I guess it's hard to verify now. Also, my apologies to anyone that enjoyed the MWH board if it was indeed my post that led to the board's closing.

I kind of cringe when I look at some of the comments I made in my post, but please understand I only made those comments after Stefan ripped apart a fan whose only offense was making an honest opinion about the new album. To act so rude to a person that has looked up to you and supported you for many years is unacceptable in my book, so I thought it was time for Stefan to finally be put in his place. If this was one incident (hey, we all have our bad days) I could maybe understand it, but Stefan has always come across to me as an extremely rude and arrogant person and that post just sent me over the edge.

I know I will now be seen as the anti-Christ by some now and I understand that. After all, it is only natural to be defensive about your idols. However, when this idol rips apart the people that support him then I find that indefensible.

So once again, my apologies if it was indeed my post that led to the closing of the board. I have sent an email to the MWH site stating I would never post there again if it would mean that the board can be opened up again.

Ivan Fan
