Edited sentence: At the same time, the resident ICF fan boys, who once sung the praises of the pub, did an about face and attacked it, blaming the pub management for non existent high prices and long waits, relying on their time honed technique of blaming everyone but the ICF for it's demise.However, due to the fact that the ICF has wiped out train service on the island, it was not used as a train station, but instead was utilized as a pub named "Fibber Magee's", much to the fanfare of the ICF's resident fan boys.One of the few success stories of the ICF was the restoration of the Nanaimo Train Station.Speculation was rife that the ICF charged too much money in the lease of the building.The Foundation has attempted to whitewash these obvious failures with rail trail building.The dealin's of this shadowy group of scoundrels, which is in no way accountable to anyone, are shady.The efforts of the foundation have ended in failure.The rumor mill in the local railfan community,which is rife with fools, armchair railroaders, rivet counters, geeks, and a naive dreaming hippy who can't finish one "project" before starting another, is reporting that the group is purposely trying to run the railway into the ground, for unknown motives.Their only supporters left are those who work for SRVI and are looking for a public handout to so they can coast to retirement, nostalgic railfans who would sell their own mother down the river just for the chance to take a picture of an empty Budd Car,and a delusional dyfunctional ingrate councillor in Port Alberni who loves to advocate spending public money in order to fund unrealistic socio-economic pipe dreams so he can have a publicly subsidized ride to work every morning instead of paying his own way to work like regular folk without entitlement issues do.This has not stopped the complete collapse of support from the public and levels of Government.This is due to perceived lack of transparency and accountability, and their dismal negotiating skills which has left the railway rotting and disused.Unfortunately, this success was tampered by the announcement in late July that the pub venture had been a complete and utter failure
