So long time since i starts a thread here, recently we had a huge and heavy earthquke in Italy, BTW me and my relatives are fine, i just wish to let you know, just in case you're afraid about me. ;D But taking into the point this is an appreciation thread.<3 Between yesterday and today i had a tough experience on another board, an italian board. I've started thinking what's went wrong and why i had been dismissed after just 2 weeks... Despite that we live in world where we shoudl be entitle to express our opinion no matter which one we have, as opinions are simply opinions and aren't disputable, i had to admit, after this experience that is not always possible. I just wish to thank everyone here, from Ally to Stephanie that give us all the chance to talk even straigth off to each other without moderate us in any way, as well as many many of you to whom i have given a hard time in past, with my opinions, with my pointing here and there, with the way in wich i've expressed them. To Evie, mermon, Monica, thank you for simply discussing with me openly, without any issue. Thanks to all of you for dealing with my spelling, sometimes i've typed some hugly and cheap words Thanks so much to Sasha, Lauren wich i send a big slury kiss, to Laura, Els, Marie, mary/Book, thanks to Deyan/chippiz, to Deb, sorry i forget somone, really<3 At very least thanks to everyone who's taking care of me, talked with me, discussed with me. This is an mazing board, and i'm such fortunate and happy to been part of this community, thanks again to all of you! I love you really! Maria!<3

Cara Maria <3 I'm so happy to hear that you and your family are fine and didn't suffer from those terrible destructive earthquakes in the north of Italy! <3 it's such a sad and difficult situation for all those people who have been struck by this natural disaster... I'm so sorry to hear that you have had such a bad, tough experience on that Italian board... Must be very narrow minded people on that board... I always enjoy chatting / having an interesting conversation / debating with you, you have interesting povs imo Don't worry at all about your spelling <3 From the deepest of my heart and soul: thank you so much, Maria, for being such a dear and true friend! <3 GRAZIE MILLE, CARA MARIA! <3 BACI e ABBRACCI, Els xxx <3

Thanks so much Els, thanks for all your sweet words, really it means a lot to me, and thanks even to everyone whot take the time to read this. Life has it's own way to going on, there's nothing we can do about it You always realize how much great is a place when comes hardest time. As for the other italian board i guess that Keanu Reeves deserve a bit more from his followers and fans, funny as i was the narrowed one from the opposite side, oh well now i know that this board has no comparison with any other board, expecially for all the amazing opne mind people that browsing here dalily and that i have the fortune to meet, than slowly know and get confident with.<3

Maria, thank you for your kind words and sincere thoughts. I join you in your enthusiasm for IHJ. It is a wonderful site where we can share our affection for Jake and our opinions regarding what he is doing, or might be doing, and why. Overall, we are a courteous, tolerant community, free of nastiness and trashy language. I have visited other Web sites where people can say just about anything, and they do, and no one monitors them. The level of rudeness and outright viciousness can be very high. These are sites I do not return to. Stephanie and Ally have done a fabulous job of keeping this site as a welcome haven for Jake's fans.
Once in a while we get into squabbles on IHJ. This is bound to happen. The site is visited by hundreds of us--long-time members, newcomers, visitors--and we all have our own point of view. Sometimes the language differences can cause one's meaning to be misunderstood, on both sides. You and I have had some bumpy moments, but we survived them and can still discuss our favorite subject with good will. When nothing else works, we can all, as the saying goes, agree to disagree.
You and your family were truly fortunate with the earthquakes. Last summer, the northeastern seaboard, where I live, experienced a mild earthquake. I was at work and everything was over in a few minutes, with no damage. But it was frightening. The earthquakes in Italy were much stronger, so you must have had a scary time.

Hi Maria! So good to hear from you. I'm really sorry you can't be here regularly as you used to. It's so quite here now. I hope that now you can stay for longer. I love to discuss and have different or common opinions around our lovely subject - Jake and his movies. We can't agree on everything, cause we are different persons with different characters, age, nationalities etc. That's why it's so interesting to talk here. Now it's exciting time when Jake makes new movie and we may "witness" that. I'm glad that you are safe. From what I heard it was a third or fourth earthquake in just few days. I'm sorry for your country. It must be very scary. I'm looking forward for new discussions. ;D

It's so wonderful to read and see you again, Maria. You surely have been missed. I just love this new spirit that Jake has brought to all of us by working again. It's almost like we have all been hibernating while he did not work. Now that he's on a set again, active and in motion, all of us seem to be more active again, too.
I can relate to your experience. I wanted to join a German board about a TV show I enjoy a lot, but the restrictions were just too much for me. Every post was monitored, people got warned if the posted the "wrong" things. Sharing links and drawings and pictures like we do here, was impossible there. So I left again, since the show never had such a strong hold on me as Jake does anyway.
I join Mermon in her hope that we get to talk to you more often again, you sure brought some spice in our discussions. And so glad to hear that nothing much happend to you and your family during the earth quakes.

Thank you so much girls, to everyone, to evie, to Book, to mermon, to Sasha. I guess that here we have the most amazing community ever, surely with open mind and mature people that can disagree but stand differences in opinion. I had to thank you Mr.Jake Gyllenhaal that give me the opportuny to joint this community, really! I hope one day that Keanu Reeves could have a community like this one, so far i know that the italian one is quite monitored, and though is full of people, who share much informationis is more a wiki of Reeves that not a community. My experience is the same as Sasha, but at this time was really hard to stand, hopefully i don't give too much importance to it, not the first time that i had and hard time with italian boards, so thanks for been there, and make me feel welcome, i miss you too! Simply i was banned as i've expressed openly my thought about a so called artist Mayerson, that in my pov exposed portraits quite sick and weak, and also as i was critic towards Reeves next movie. But to come in subject again i love this place, i love you all, i miss you so much, i've been away due to some seriosu health issue, my back isin't fine, and doctor suggest me also to quit wearing heels seven days a week, thanks also to all of you that truly been afarid of me due to earthquake. I was involved back in 1996 in another earthquake, all Italy is almost seismic, now the quakes are moving fasts up to north, in Toscana, one heavy quake was today in the morning near Ravenna. The most hitted country was Emilia Romagna, accoding to some geologists earthquake cona move even to my south to my country, which will be a disaster as Calabria is really a mess with all the rivers that are full of garbage and so it goes... I will keep you posted, and i hope to me more active, i will promise! Huggies to all of you, ance thanks for the support! Maria

Hi Maria ;D It is good to hear from you. Sorry to hear that you had trouble at another site. Like many have already said, we all have different opinions and should be able to express them with being banned. I have tried other Jake site but felt very welcome here by you and Sasha, Mermon and others . Hope to see you here. It is a bummer about the earthquakes. I know how you feel. Living in California, we have them all the time. Most day you don't even feel them. I have gotten used to them.

Thank you for stopping here Jessica and supporting me, it means a lot to me, really! Your comment cheer me quite a lot, as you know after a tought experience you turn back to look at where you went wrong, perhaps even for improving and avoid keep on mistaking and becoming a better person... As for earthquake i know that many of you that are from California are capable to figure out what it means, there's people now that cannot sleep, and that are basically homeless, without no job, lost their company , even the Parmigiano reggiano cheese company basically is closed, i hope that quakes stops shortly so we can think to fix all. Thanks so much really!<3

So it's still shaking? How long it could last?!!! So terrible. You, Italians, living there must live in constant fear of danger. I'm so sorry.
I'm very glad Maria, that you came back to us. You made our forum alive again!

The quakes might be moving along a fault line. Sometimes they can last for a long time. It either earthquakes or Aftershock. Hopefully it will relax soon. I can get u a web site that show quakes around the world. My friend uses it all the time.
