Art Bell

[Meister_000]

You're right, this doesn't reflect well on you. Maybe you were getting a bit of a vicarious thrill from all the troll action and reaction. If you enjoy observing people so much, there are better ways to do it than watching trolls at work and telling yourself how fascinating it all is, as a student of human nature. Sitting in a cafe and watching people go by while sipping a café au lait is not a bad place to start. Genuine trolls are bad news. No way to sugar-coat that.

Nevermind that DP was the one who drug-up Art's son again and THAT is the reason Art said good-bye to Bellgab again. So ya, lets hope WOTR was suffering from some kind of attention deficit (ffs wotr!).

[Value Of Pi]

I'm fine with this not reflecting well on me.  I cannot be bothered to go through his entire post history- but I do not recall him heavily attacking people on a personal level (yeah, again, he said some not so nice things about Bell.)  I don't recall him attacking Heather nor saying some of the crap about her that others have.

All in all, I would say it was somewhat constructive trolling.  It was others who wanted to dox him and thought that maybe a real life physical beating would take place after that (a fairly extreme reaction to a fairly mild provocation.)

As for sitting on a sidewalk sipping cafe au lait... It just is never going to happen as I really don't get subtle human interactions.  Watching somebody come in, announce they are a troll and watch people still rise to the occasion is amazing.

I may not have thought this if he just came here and called everybody who believes Art a moron or even rehashed all the same crap that I had read for the last two weeks.  However, that was not what I got out of it.  Oh, and I still do believe that Art is probably telling the truth... That does not mean that I cannot enjoy somebody disagreeing in a novel way...

He is, what you might call, a seductive troll, and he succeeded somewhat in worming his way in here. He came off as a regular guy, just like you or me, but unlike me at least, he happens to get a psychopathic rush from trolling people. That's pretty sick -- and I don't mean the "cool" connotation of the word. You may not care how this reflects on you on an anonymous website, but think about the ethics of enabling and helping to facilitate trolling. Or don't think about it. Your choice, obviously.

Who gives a shit..

Obviously you do, twat, if you take the time to try to deny that Paul Ryan is a Rush fan.

[Meister_000]

Respectfully, I don't believe a syllable that comes out of the guy's mouth.

As someone said earlier in the thread, he has spent years promoting terrible products.

Don't forget he also made a lot of money selling "survival goods" during the Y2K/millennium crisis.

Grow up!

Twat...there it is...I don't care about Ryan or Limbaugh... You just want a vessel for your hate...I pass...

Why is it that the band Rush attracts assholes like flies on shit? Their fans are incredibly pompous, arrogant, and annoying.

Never said I hated them. I said they are pompous, arrogant, and annoying. Just look at Rand Paul, Paul Ryan, etc. And I speak from personal experience. I've had the displeasure of working with lots of Rush fans, and they've invariably been insufferable assholes.

That's the problem with this country, people like you "don't care about Ryan", while he attempts to repeal the ACA for the 40-something time and deny healthcare to millions of people. But who cares, you've got yours, right?

Wow. Just wow.

[Donald Noory]

Wow. Just wow.

Paul Ryan will be saying wow too, when Obama stamps a big fat "veto" on his attempt at repeal. Bwahaha. Maybe Ryan should focus his energy on trying to get something useful done for his constituents, instead of bullshit stunts like this, that are dead in the water.

[WOTR]

Nope, I caught that.  It is what I was referring to as his "flamebait."  And it worked... And it should not have.  Until this post, I had yet to acknowledge it specifically.

Somehow, I am not as worried about Art as I am Heather- and I don't think he went after her at all.  When I see long time members of this forum go after her it turns my stomach more than somebody who just joined and is not really a member of the "community" posting some 20 year old crap and obviously trying to get a rise out of people.

I watched here after Heather's first appearance as guest host, and could not believe that rather than being even slightly supportive, many (most?) posters grabbed their pitchforks and torches.  Rather than showing support for a long term BG member, people showed their ugly side.  After that, I already thought that it would be best for Redacted to not be here... After watching the response to Art's quitting (long before DP arrived) I thought he would be smart to ignore this board for a time.

So, if that was the post that actually caused him to say "fuck this" and do something healthy (ignore the shit on this board) then good.  Yes, we have lost Art as a poster (at least for a time), but I honestly believe that his mental health and life will be better without this forum for at least a few months (and I'm sure if he returns, ugliness will flare again.  But hopefully he will be in a better place.)  I am somebody who believes that it is only our selfishness right now that wants Art to be a part of this place.  Again- maybe in the future- but not right now.

Outside of that, a troll is a troll- and this one was relatively good humoured (maybe my posting history at other sites that have "real" trolls has jaded me- but that was pretty mild...)

And that has what to do with Art Bell? There is a complete Topic on politics where you can really have a ball.

No need to reply. Really.

Oohh! Did I make you angry? I guess that saying "you wouldn't like him when he's angry" really is true!!! Now you can get back to masturbating over Geddy Lee's voice.

Longest way admitting ur a Rush fan, EVAR!

Actually assface, I never said anything positive about Bill or Hillary anywhere on this forum. But you're just a dumb wanker who assumes things, right? And an ignorant wanker who has no clue about Paul Ryan's activities. But I will say this, even though I don't care much for Hillary, compared to the addle-brained pandering fuckwits on the Republican side, I guess I know who I'll have to vote for.

Ohhh!!  Did I make you even more angry? Does your little pecker get angry too, and turn green and expand three feet before you insert it in your orifice of choice? Which is probably Dave's?

[effluenza]

Oh great. Now this thread has been ruined by fucking politics. Can't we just go back to debating the merits of whether Art molested a goat while high on PCP.

Can the politics be kept on the unmoderated politics forum rather than the moderated Art Bell .... Oh wait .... Carry on.

Well, she is probably too old for him, so yeah. Duh.
