My approach wasn't about assigning value to anyone. It was about stepping away from an explosion of someone else's creation and letting the chips fall where they may. I understand your thought process, though, and respect your opinions.

As do I towards you. I like you MV, your broadcasts are entertaining and I will continue to listen and be around in whatever form they take. I think your broadcasts with Evelyn are quite good, I really like them.  I think you are a sensible person and I understand your thought process as well. There is no butthurt, and I'm not leaving. I just wanted to voice what I thought, I think you've made a decision that isn't in the interest of your investment. But, in a few months, thankfully we'll all be past this. Or we won't, which will be all kinds of fucked up.

Is she hot?

That depends.  Is "swarthy" your thing?

[SciFiAuthor]

You don't have MV's best interest at heart, you just are trying to weakly and obviously manipulate the situation in an attempt to get rid of people you don't like by creating a faulty narrative that riches are just around the corner for MV, if he bans the "trolls".

MV is just too nice to call you on it.

Your guitar playing isn't going to make this message board money.

The man seems to be determined to burn every last bridge, and piss on his own legacy.

You know, I have been on this forum since the original exodus from GLP.  I hate when Bellgab members mention seniority, but fuck it - sort the member page by join date, and I am on the first page.  I came here as an Art Bell fan.  but...

Fuck this guy.

Fuck him for threatening you with legal action.

Fuck him for bailing, again, and again, and again.

Fuck him for his constant airing of grievances, and his endless put-upon ways.

Fuck him for encouraging the trolling of Noory, and then crying foul when he was trolled.

Fuck

I struck a chord there though.

[SciFiAuthor]

So what?

And I will be gone if it stays an Art bell fansite. All 3 of you can have at it.

IF it adapts, I might stay. I know you would love that.

Oh like you'll stay. With no train wreck, what would entertain you?

That would be the only one you've ever struck correctly.

He invested in Enron. He couldnt foresee what was coming but the investment had already been made. His actions as the 'investor' will make no difference long term if  he stays the course... he must diversify, into mutual funds now instead of having everything from a single entity. Thats real talk.

Someone mentioned 'radiogab' earlier. I think the idea, less the name,is pretty solid.

You continue to compare this to an'investment' and it is. Both financial and emotional. Sadly, everything was riding on Enron and if it were me I would re-evaluate and restructure my portfolio...And quick.

When the drama dies, whats left? Honestly.

It's the only one I ever needed to.

Not quality trolling. Try again. Be more creative, or at least viciously attack me.

That's certainly true, I suppose.

Stay, go, who gives a shit?

Drama dies... did you really type that? I know you didn't mean it.

[Jackstar]

at least viciously attack me.

I totally meant it. Not trolling on that or pretty much anything Ive said tonight that I can recall.

Its not about me staying or going- I only mentioned that because Scifi had said 'i will leave anyhow' which is probably true.

I used his investment analogy to make a point I feel is valid. bellgab is dead when the drama dies. trolling Noory is played out for the most part and Arts done plus has lost many fans.

I would reformat the board into an all encompassing podcast/radio discussion. I'm no master businessman but thats the approach I would take.

A board centered on Bell/Noory has no chance once this blows over imho.

[paladin1991]

add to this the legal threats art is now dropping in my inbox.  yay.  one of the messages said, in a roundabout way, "if you refuse to ban this user and he says something 'libelous' again, i'll sue you."

having had some time to think about his message(s), i've moved from feelings of indifference to contempt.

*sigh*  Really?  So this is where we and ART have ended up?  And to think, ART once had an army here.  Calling program directors, emailing, social media....we were tight man. 

"Game over, man.  Game over!'

[paladin1991]

I'm blown away at this fact MV.
This REALLY changes my recently changed opinion of our boy Art. I actually cannot believe that he would pressure you to ban someone he didn't like. He chuckled at the nastiness thrown Dave's way. Wow! Stand firm MV.

Yeah, man. 

#Don'tBanMe,Bro!

I wasnt trolling and I hardly ever 'viciously attack' posters unless they 'viciously attack me' first-

If I were trolling it would actually be some quality shit. I'm not. I'm giving my honest opinion/assessment of what I see and think. I could be wrong. ive been wrong once before in my life- I'll still give my opinion because thats how I roll.

[paladin1991]

Might be time to change the name of this site, seriously.  Maybe "RadioGab" or something similarly generic.

Well, maybe to honor the new direction that ART is taking us, we could call it Radiogaga.  Or would the ghost of Freddy Fucking Mercury come back to sue us?

[Jackstar]

And to think, ART once had an army here.

Considering how easily the majority of the soldiers broke rank, it's difficult to think of what once was as anything more than a rag-tag gang of misfits with no cohesion beyond their shared hate.

You're contradicting yourself. We've already had a conversation that established why you do what you do. You have made your motives crystal clear. Don't flip flop and backtrack.

[paladin1991]

Makes you wonder what really happened between him and Richard...

Well, I know the frat boys used to say it was just a 'prank.'  For pledging.  It doesn't really mean anything, right?

[GuerrillaUnReal]

[paladin1991]

Correct. I did remove the post, but not because of Art's message. Actually, his message made me want to leave it up. It was when I started getting "reported post" messages from reasonable people that I decided to remove it.

What the hell are you talking about, MV?  This was Bellgab!

MV didn't keybind "Boost Troop Morale".

Theres no backtracking.The trolling is played out, as I said before. Unless Art starts up and quits again (which is growing less likely by the hour) then I'm done  here beyond maybe an occasional jab.

One thing ive been from the start is honest about my motives, reasons and entertainment- Ive been pretty honest about everything I think. Including this- I'm not trolling.

Wheres the trolling in saying anything ive said about the direction i would take? Ive said pretty much all I can say about the quittening and even while I was still trolling it was getting stale. I could have probably trolled a bit about his facebook message blaming the 'trolls' for not coming back but at this point its over until he does something that will bring the magic back .

Anyhow, dont really care what you think of my motives. believe me or not. I received a PM that Art was threatening MV unless he banned me (obviously signals were crossed) and I was actually pissed. Most people reading anhything ive written tonight should be able to distinguish the fact i'm not being trollish. if you think I am, thats your prerogative dude.

[paladin1991]

Airyn: Art, what's the matter in there"?
Art, frantically typing: " I don't believe this sh&t, MV has banned me".
Airyn: "I told you to stay off bellgab, and open the drapes, you're acting like there's a stalker outside or something".
