The notion of Marvel forcing Dan Jurgens to recant an opinion he voiced on a message board is ridiculous on the face of it, but to grant the theory more weight than it deserves, it simply doesn't stand up to reason.
The "recanting" took place in February of 2004.
By that time, Michael Oeming had already been slated to take over for Jurgens on Thor. His run on the book was effectively over, and it was the only book he was writing for Marvel at the time.
Marvel had no leverage with which to force Dan Jurgens to recant his private opinions. He was finishing up the sole book he was writing for them, and he had only DC work lined up for the future.
