I hope that the Real Secrets crew opens a restricted forum for subscribers only.

It'll keep out some of the riff-raff who haven't subscribed from spoiling it for others.


An excellent idea!

Thanks toberman, I'll suggest it to them.

Mr. Drop, You are SO right! LOL!

Funny thing about Brad's timely return: When someone first suggested that Brad posts the way he does because he's envious of people who signed up for Real Secrets, I thought that was a weak argument. The old "You're just jealous" gambit. But now I'm thinking envy may be exactly what's driving him....

Just as the first of April arrives, and people are posting about getting confirmation E-mails and logging into the members-only part of the RS web site, sirbrad suddenly shows up again and makes one of his angriest, most bitter posts yet. It fairly drips with the juices of the sour grape!

As someone who didn't sign up for RS (for reasons I've stated before and won't belabor), I'll be interested in whatever reviews people see fit to post -- but I want to assure all RS members that I won't be harassing you guys for details about what you received.

Of course, that's an easy pledge for me to make -- I'm not 14 years old!

Weird - Whois is showing 2014 now. I swear an hour ago it said 2012! Seems we're being watched!

Funny, I was not angry or bitter at all. I believe someone else also said that you fabricate and twist what others say just so you have something to argue and post about. Nice to see you are still stalking me though. Yeah I am REAL envious about a product that I have no interest in ordering, and even could have gotten for free. You figured it out. Smile

I still want to know how old you are. I'm guessing 14.


Unfortunately, he must be older than 14. He's been a member for 8 years- I don't think his parents would have allowed him to post at the age of 6! No offense to a mature person of 20, but today's 20 year olds seem to have the maturity of a 14 year old, so I'm going with 20 for Brad.

Do you actually think what you have posted will happen? Your brain seems to contain a hateful little universe. Do you sit and spin all your little revenges on the world inside your head? That seems to be your entertainment. That, and saving us from ourselves, of course.

Wow you MUST be psychic! Yes that is my age, only 8 years older than you and 10 years older than frenchy.

Heh. Yeah, my estimate of Brad's age drops a bit every time he posts, too.


As does my estimate of your I.Q. Oh wait I am being mean and vile now. Even though it was a direct response to a mean and vile stalker. But you groupies all wear the same blinders.

If I posted the way Brad does, I think I'd want people to believe I was 14. It would at least give me an excuse.

I can't believe what just happened! I just received an email from Real Secrets saying my membership was denied because I posted on this thread!

I find that hard to believe, you can't even stop harassing everyone publicly. Sounds like you are "bitter" because you wanted RS and could not afford it, but you agree with the "trolls" in reality, but you want it "both ways". Smile WEAK! You're boring and predictable just like I said. So go back to sleep.

I just visited the RS website, and there is nothing new that has been added as of todays "launch date". Please- no negative comments from Gary or Brad. So what?, is all I can say. Although I would have expected some additional activity on the site by now, that's MY timetable, not theirs. One thing they have done is removed the 3 comments that were posted (one of them by me- it was really nothing, I made a mistake! The other 2 comments were probably mistakes also- one I know for sure was a mistake). My god, I think the site was hacked, and the hacker removed 3 dumb comments! You still can add comments, though.

I wouldn't expect to see much going on online. I think this is primarily going to be an offline venture.

Well, I would think there would be "members" stuff. And don't forget- they do have something up there to sell products, both for the general public, and for members only.

Some of the discussion does bring up the quandary of keeping anything secret in the world today. I have had packages from oversees opened and thoroughly inspected for no apparent reason- magic stuff included. I have friends oversees who warn me not to send them anything because it is all handled before they get it. Big Brother is everywhere! Jeesh, I'm paranoid!

I'm amazed at how tiring the people that don't want to join are. We understand your point, and
obviously don't care what you think.... the first dozen times.

Well, Mr. M, that is the world today. I don't think Customs are going to sit there and play with your stuff to try and figure out how it works, and then post a you tube video, though.

Brad, you are probably too young to know who Sybil was but I suggest you might want to change your name to SirSybil.

I said from the beginning that I did not doubt that the material would be great, I just like to know what I am buying and who I am buying from. The idea is cool but risky, much like a lot of other things as well.
…
So if I offended RS or anyone else I would like to apologize, which is something I rarely do online
RS seem to be decent people and again I apologize for making any assumptions that may not be true, but that is expected with such a lack of information. I am still on the fence and time is running out so I doubt I will be subscribing at this time. Maybe later, and if they did have back issues I certainly would consider it then.
…
I have no hard feelings towards RS or anyone in this thread so I just wanted to squash the beef.
…
Either way, to those that ordered I hope enjoy it and that it lives up to the hype. It certainly does sound mysterious and exciting.


You might want dust off that apology. It didn’t take too long to make it look like total BS.

But you also have to know when to stop, and be open to change if you really do feel a certain way. I always keep an open mind even if I am against something.

Supporters will praise it and haters will bash it. I am not really either, I am actually leaning more towards supporting the project.

Yes, you need to know when to stop. Maybe now might be a good time. (Although about a month late.)

I suspect this is the biggest reason behind your posts. I’m not sure which celebrity you’re shooting for though. Lindsay Lohan maybe?
