[Freyja]

for thinking it wasn't passive aggressive and that I was wrong in my assumption, you sure are getting defensive about it. twit.

LOL...just trying to expand your mind!! I truly don't give a rat's ass about what anyone calls or tries to label me 

Peace man.

Ok, I have had enough, I posted the reward myself and did not consult with the Sheriff, I don't see why I need to its my money and mostly my problem. While the sheriff's Dept has responded when called they have been painfully slow to post all the reports I have made. They do the best they can I guess. 

At this point after reading some of the awful things said about Heather and myself I have had enough, I am not coming back to Bell Gab and after a short time of letting that reward sink in I will disable my FB site as well. There is simply no way to win with people like this and I have had enough to stress and sorrow over this for this lifetime. Carry on.

Ug.

Time for MV to clear out the clutter.

Good grief. You can't quit the quitting, can you?  Did you quit cigarettes again?  Might explain the behaviour the last few weeks...

Peace man. 

do too 

[csummers]

 so now where do we go for all the latest "art bell quits again" news?

[Value Of Pi]

It's been awful and relentless.  A handful of good loyal fans/humans have been bastions of support, but all in all, my regard for the human race has reached an all-time low after reading hundreds of selfish, cruel, infantile outbursts over the last week.

So it pains me that we won't be able to hear from you at all now, at least for awhile.  But I understand.  The internet has become a toxic waste dump for the worst people on the planet.

Be well and enjoy the company of your loved ones Art.  We'll be here to offer our support if and when you come back.

You know, I don't usually talk like this, but I've been posting on BellGab for a whole week, and it may be getting to me.

Are you f'n nuts? For crying out loud, if you think this is the worst humanity has to offer, what the hell did you think the first time you saw films of the Nazi death camps?

That neatly sums up my thoughts on the above bolded segment of your post.

IS ART QUITTING BELLGAB?! I thought he said he was a Bellgabber and was staying here?

[RealCool Daddio]

IS ART QUITTING BELLGAB?! I thought he said he was a Bellgabber and was staying here?

Yes, he did say that.

Then he quit.

It's kinda his thing.

[coaster]

IS ART QUITTING BELLGAB?! I thought he said he was a Bellgabber and was staying here?

It's like that old saying. "If you don't like what Art said, wait five minutes." That was about unpredictable weather really, but it applies to Art Bell too.

[Ciardelo]

IS ART QUITTING BELLGAB?! I thought he said he was a Bellgabber and was staying here?

Daddy is stepping out to go get some cigarettes again.

[csummers]

IS ART QUITTING BELLGAB?! I thought he said he was a Bellgabber and was staying here?

he is "not coming back" but i expect him to announce tomorrow that he might drop in unexpectedly from time to time.

[Chronaut]

This place just keeps reaching new lows.

Yep - I thought this was supposedly a fan forum for Art Bell.  Instead the last week has been like wading through a cesspool of hate speech against Art and Heather.  Coaster's right - I'm happier pretty much everywhere else.  My love and gratitude to those of good character and even better humor around here.

Before long all that will be left is the trolls arguing with each other and claiming how they are smarter than everyone else.

That describes about what? 80-90% of the content here lately.  That ratio's too steep for my tastes.

MV should rename this sewage treatment plant Bell Hell.

Sounds about right.  The race to the bottom around here lately has been appalling.  Social media was the last place Art could turn to in this rotten situation and it proved to be as horrible as his situation back home.  Sickening.  I guess all the haters can take over and high-five about their success with kicking a man when he's down.  Time for a hot shower and new venue.

Best wishes.

[SredniVashtar]

At this rate, Art is going to run out of things to quit from soon. First the show, then (shock!) BellGab. What's next on the list?

At this time, it looks like he is about to depart from his sanity, but if he continues to hang around with Heather like a lovesick puppy, the next thing on the quitters roster is going to be his marriage.

It's all right folks. He'll show up for "backpedal" Monday.

whats the ratio of hateful posts to new member/trolls?
I'd say the majority of original gabbers are Art supporters, and it's obvious as hell. Just read this thread before the bullshit started. I have seen some hateful posts. posted by trolls. So who gives a damn what they have to say?
A troll posts a shitty message on Art's facebook, a page dedicated to the kissing of Art's ass. One troll. Better take your ball and go home Art. Make those real fans disappointed. Thats how to get back at trolls..... :

[Danger!UFO]

IS ART QUITTING BELLGAB?! I thought he said he was a Bellgabber and was staying here?

Can't blame him. Too many whiny asshole loser trolls here now.

Take care, Art. Catch that bastard! Try to make it back to the show. Many of us look forward to hearing you again.

[norland2424]

I understand why you keep posting this meme. At times, the discourse reads like a constant rehash loop. However, you'd have to admit; Art has been complicit in this saga. I am not implying he's done anything negative. He keeps adding layers.
Expecting folks not to post about it, well, that's too fuckin' bad my friend. Everyone is allowed to say their piece.

"It's all ok or none of it is...

oh i know and i think we both know how this will play out

[Value Of Pi]

Well that sounds quite passive-aggressive.  I think I see some oppositional defiance in there too.

Oppositional defiance, I like it. Where is that in the DSM (not that I can afford a copy)? It sounds like the multi-multisyllabic alternative to disagreeing.

[Walks_At_Night]

Ich bin nicht ein Bell Gabber.

Great - now I just spewed beer everywhere.    Thanks Duke

[PathoJen]

my post above (near the top of the page).. he said exactly what people were saying about him, which he posted in the same thread under the comments..   I mean, it's utterly ridiculous, and juvenile behavior (the comments, specifically).. and I think he's just done.

OMG! Seriously? That is the reason!! You are right, that's ridiculous.

[bellNwhistle]

IS ART QUITTING BELLGAB?! I thought he said he was a Bellgabber and was staying here?

Not after the comments he read about himself and Heather, on God Knows where.  I mean, I've read some nasty things since he's quit, but jeez. 

I don't know specifically why BellGab was started, but if not for anything else, wasn't it for people who listen to Art Bell? Or who want to discuss his show? That's why I came here. I certainly can't speak for anyone else. 

Over the years, when he wasn't on the air, I looked up "art bell forum" to see what I could come up with, to read the latest news. Just because.  I hoped maybe he had updates on a new show, or maybe he had another kid or whatever.  He may not have been very active online himself, but he would pop up now and then, from what I gathered. 

This whole thing is just beyond sad.  This is just another punch in the gut for those who don't come here looking for "truth" and "explanations".. I just came here to commiserate..

[coaster]

It's just so unbelievably disappointing. Back in the 90's, I bet Art would have told those people to fuck off. It's sad seeing how easily he folds now. You are not a defeated man, Art. Stop acting like one.

You're more overdramatic than a 13 year old girl. I should know I was once an overdramatic 13 year old.  This is bellgab a site that is mean as fuck to people like George Noory or that Falkie guy (among others). You caused all of this drama yourself and fucked over A LOT of people over a possible fire cracker. What do you expect to happen on Bellgab?

lol hate and discontent

[Zenman]

Can't blame him. Too many whiny asshole loser trolls here now.

Take care, Art. Catch that bastard! Try to make it back to the show. Many of us look forward to hearing you again.

The FB and 4chan ones are worse, but we've been catching up.
