I finally took the advice someone gave me 6 months ago, and started my own Jack Kirby Facebook group.
I kinda had to. This one [PERSON I DON'T LIKE], one of the 2 reasons I stopped contributiing to the GCD site 5 years ago, managed to fool one of the moderators at The Jack Kirby Fan Page group into making him a moderator. Within minutes, he kicked off the other moderators, kicked ME out of the group, made it a "private" group, began being rude, obnoxious & insulting to a large number of the members, and started kicking out anyone who disagreed with him.
A few people are looking into contacting Facebook to report the problem.
ANYWAY... at least 3 new Kirby groups have sprung up in the wake. Glenn Fleming & John Bray have JACK KIRBY -- THE KING OF COMICS, their attempt to recreate the old group, only with ZERO tolerance for the kind of trouble-makers who'd been causing chaos there for months on end, while I started up KIRBY LAND, a Facebook version of my old Yahoo group. Glenn & John's group is the "general", chaotic but fun group, while I'm posting my LONG-WINDED reviews at mine, as well as anything else I care to... just like I used to all the years I was in KLORDNY (LSH a.p.a.)
Join the fun!!

A friendly warning: anything excessively pro-Stan Lee (including photos of him) are not welcome and will not be tolerated.

Henry--You can make your point about the reasons for creating a new FB page without adding to the "rude, obnoxious & insulting" language, especially when you name the person specifically. I saw other explanations of the new FB pages that didn't have to do that. It always causes problems it's going to cause more, and it needs to stop.
There's also "Jack Kirby!" that was started last week by Erik Larsen, which already has 1615 members (and counting). It's biggest problem is that so many people are posting so much stuff so fast that it gets a big overwhelming.
