You're framing it wrong. This isn't an assault. It's a rejection of a branded product.

No, a rejection of a branded product is when you turn it off and walk away. An attack is when you call in to prank the host repeatedly. Do you see the difference?

Hoagland's listeners rejected his product,
Good enough. Then they should have cancelled their subscriptions and walked away.


Quote from: SciFiAuthor on December 24, 2015, 11:39:18 PM
It was a massive one-night prank. Some people then continued to voice their displeasure, but that was just them acting on their own.

Oh, so trying to sabotage someone's show for only one night is OK. I mean, it's just one night, right? No harm, no foul? You do realize that those who pranked the first night created the atmosphere that it was alright to continue, don't you? Or were the posters on the OSOM thread discouraging further pranks? I think not.

What's sad is all the fake defending of Hoagland going on around here.

It's not so much that I am defending Richard as I am trying to show you that it's not cool to be an ass to those on air. Regardless of how justified that you feel that you may be.

But go to 4chan /X/ and look at the shit people are saying.

Why would I go there? Why would anyone go there?

It's like logging onto a porn site then exclaiming "Oh my word! How scandalous!"

That whole thing needs to die and everyone move on.

Is your opinion. I have an opinion as well and so does every other Bellgabber. I don't think that any of us gets to control what others "need" to do.

Quote from: SciFiAuthor on December 24, 2015, 11:39:18 PM
It's died down as far as Bellgab is concerned, but he's got people from 4chan /x/ after him now pranking him. Pranking is a part of radio. It's to be expected.


SAY WHAT NOW??!!

Game over. Drops mic.

All this was reported to the Police, I did not report the call threat, Heather did, I confirmed it to the Police. Jeez all you have to do is read. At the time I didn't think much of it and still don't, it sounded like a kid. As a matter of fact we have a pretty good idea of who it might be but I can not talk about that here and now.

The threat is still real and we are really on edge.

I have no idea why people keep saying no Police report was filed, it was each time. I guess people just choose to believe what they want.

Pardon me, I'd like to hear more of these "porn sites" you speak of. Do you go there often? I'm really just asking for a friend.  :D

Ok, if people want me to leave I can do that. I guess it's easy to leave where you are not wanted. I simply wanted to correct things people were saying that were completely wrong.

Hi Art.

Please stop helping :) We have been trying to stand up and let the complainers and truthers know what's up but really. Please. They're not going to change, they're not going to listen.

Pages and pages and pages man.

Enjoy your Christmas Eve. Peace be with you Art.  :)

No one wants you to leave. That's the problem. You keep leaving when you should be staying.

If you think you know who it is why don't you have that person investigated? Or maybe you are for all I know but can't say.

Would that make it the fourth time you've left BellGab for good, or fifth? It's hard to keep track.

Dec 16, 2015byCasey Morell
Radio host Art Bell suddenly ended his long-running program this weekend, citing alleged threats made against him and his family.

The Pahrump Valley Times reports the 70 year old radio personality called it quits after months of what he has described as "never-ending terrorism."

Bell says shots have been fired outside his residency, and that he has spotted trespassers near his home late at night.

He also says he received a phone call in November saying that if his radio program aired that night, both Bell and his family would be killed.

In December, Bell says he was walking on his property and someone fired shots at him, but police found neither any suspects nor any evidence a gun was fired.

The Nye County Sheriff's Department opened an investigation into the case, but has closed it due to a lack of evidence.

Shouldn't the detractors have also done that with Art in this thread? Would have been nice if they had.

I think not.

It's Richard Hoagland, he's a gigantic, neon, flashing signpost that says "prank call me" and it's been happening since day one. He understood and grew to bet on it actually because it was funny, i.e. leaving his office phone on during the show so people would prank the Braaps phone. He answered it multiple times to calls about ordering pizzas and Hoagie sandwiches. It was great fun. Too bad he ruined it.

Quote

You come from a thread where the entire premise is to be an ass to someone that is, by nature, an ass. Just sayin'.

I sympathize, but look, if you knew how bad the attacks are then why are we disagreeing?

Hey why don't you just leave.. so you won't have to burden your over taxed brain with keeping score.. Boy give it rest .

Quote from: Art Bell on December 24, 2015, 10:16:07 PM
Thank you! It is true I have a lot invested and now I don't mean money, I really put my heart and soul in to this and it is heartbreaking in the way it turned out. I wish the best for Heather. At least she has a shot at trying Radio and if it works, and it may well work, it provides a alternative.

As for the situation here we are still very much on edge. I am glad I am here with the Girls.

People ask why I didn't hire a Guard and the answer is I did that before on Coast during a time of serious threats and it was no way to live, very intrusive. I moved here because I love privacy and as you can see it is a double edge sword.

I wrote the long post only to explain those things people were saying that were complete BS. It's been a rough few Weeks. On top of everything else my arm is cut to shreds from that Drone accident. So things are bound to get better because they sure hit bottom. One thing is clear, I am my own worst enemy, I always just say what is on my mind at any given moment. Of course I should have said Heather will fill in till this person is caught or the threat abates but I reacted like a idiot in the emotion of the moment.

Art

Its sort of not fixable due to how it was handled. Had it been handled properly things would have been much different.

Its just unfortunate and depressing how the whole thing ended.

You posted the police reports Art. Understand that some people are not motivated by what the reality of your situation is, you've made it abundantly clear and backed it up, they are just motivated to kick you when you're down because they get some kind of enjoyment out of it. They are trolls.

Your real fans sympathize with your situation, I find it scary as hell, and I hope they catch the stalker and you can have some peace and quiet. I hope you can at some point do more shows, that would be great. But safety first. Happy holidays.

C'mon Art, why does the vocal minority carry more weight than the majority of people who would like to see you stick around here?
Don't waste all that time focusing so heavily on the negative.
Remember there is an Ignore feature on the board, it is very useful. I've used it and I'm sure it has been used on me  :-X

Stick around. We want you around. We're you're fans. We're just awash with trolls.

That much is clearly my fault, as I said I was on edge, a complete lack of sleep I was scared and still am, the stress level was crazy and I said something that went too far after talking to my Wife. I have spent 25 Years living here but am considering a move if this keeps up, it has really screwed up our lives here.

Just relax art. If your scared for your family safety may be you should move. Until that time why not have your family with you when you do the show.

Understandable. Have there been any more incidents since you stepped off the air?
