Dick Smoke, heh heh.

Im just hoping MV finds dads favorite ecig so he can come home  .

You know...I was just wondering....when I used to post updates about my show on other threads, I was descended on by what seemed like an angry flock of sex starved locusts. And it wasn't pretty.

Any particular reason for that, or was it just general hatred?

Don't get me wrong....I mean no disparagement to jazmunda at all, helping each other out here with posting our shows is perfectly fine on BellGab, I would think. Just wondering why some shows are excluded while others are not.

I like your show, should I complain?

My, that seems to be more than normal. Is there a show on and I'm missing it?

Dead Horse show and you didn't miss it.

I dunno RoseGirl. People will be people. It seems you have a few detractors. Maybe if you just put them on ignore, you won't feel the need to come up with a retort.

Maybe you should photoshop a maple leaf onto your avatar so that people know that you are one of those pleasant neighbors to the north.

[RoseGirl]

Hey girl,  what's your sigh? 

OIC...it's because I like astrology? Seems a bit odd, but okay...whatever.

oh wait? did you just want to know my sun sign? lol

Cigarettes and eCigs trigger me.

How is it none of my business if Art files a police report about the death threat he claims to have received?

He thought it was my business that he received the death threat, and posted it on his FB wall and talked about it on the show.

He thought it was my business that he filed police reports about the shooting and the prowler, and posted it on his FB wall and talked about it on his show.

So how is it suddenly none of my business if he files a police report about the death threat he claims to have received?

Nothing in this world, is about you, boy. Nothing.

Must be some kind of a cult thing, I guess. Orders from Dear Leader or something like that. Oh and I have them all on ignore, so that works well.

Nah....maple leaf? They'll hate me more...lol

[Value Of Pi]

How's your backpedaling?

Better than my backstroke, but that's not saying much. Anyway, what's the difference? I've got no place to backpedal *to*. Unless. Did Art post again?

[Night Train]

Is this supposed to sound really deep or something?

Your show was horrible and you're a poor excuse for a human being.
I can elaborate if you'd like...

Well I am a founding member of the MV clique and I have pictures. Saucy, lurid pictures.

Not of MV mind you. Just pictures.

[Bradsmith313]

I assure you; his family is quite safe.  There was no stalker and no death threats and nobody shooting at them.

How happy they are is an entirely different question.  I think we can all draw our own conclusions about that.

So, you're calling Art a liar and a criminal -- filing false reports is a crime.
He's doing what he can to protect his family. You can't fault him for that.

What about all your friends you brought here from 4chan?
What do they think?

I see....I am 'clique-less'. *sigh*

Oh well. Tis no cure for that. I shall endure.

The pictures you've been promising to show me are not of MV?  Damn I need to ask more questions before agreeing to do a podcast with you in the future.

[Night Train]

Thanks for chiming in Art.

I think most of us get that what you said initially was emotional and perhaps in retrospect not as well thought out as it could have been. Totally understandable.

I am quite sure your audience, your affiliates would certainly understand this, had you come back on the air and/or made this explanation shortly after your announcement of "hanging up the mic for the last time".

I also understand that you obviously must have sunk a lot of your personal funds into the launching of MITD.

All that said, I have a couple of questions for you.

Do you still want to do MITD/a radio show 5 nights a week, current situation aside?

You say you "do not give up easily" yet for many of us it seems that you have, as later today after the quote above you posted this:

OK, so now you are going to tell us that you are willing to put up $20K to arrest and convict this alleged perp, yet you were not willing to pay out app. $100 +/- a night while hosting MITD for some security personnel to patrol your compound to keep you and your family safe until this alleged perp is apprehended ( to MV's point on last night's Gabcast) or willing to find some other solution to keep MITD going while the current situation is resolved. 

Lastly, if the answer to my first question is YES, you still want to continue with MITD, you still have a chance to make a go of it, however not without a lot of damage control....and it has to be soon....apologize for an emotionally not well thought out decision, eat a bit of crow and carry on and build the show.

If not, be honest, hang up the mic/retire and stop the teasers, the carrots and the games.

There is a way to make this right, to get out of the pickle you seem to be in now, to find a solution to your security issues you seem to have, however it depends on whether you really want to do MITD or you don't ...and it has to be NOW or it is really over IMHO.

Whatever you decide, I thank you for more than 2 decades of taking that ride with you and all the best for you and your family.

Please be honest and leave all your long term fans, your staff, counterparts/partners, affiliates with the honesty and integrity they deserve without any more games.

 

Hear, hear!

Come clean, Art, and tell the truth.  You can still salvage something of your reputation.  Do you really want to end your career as a complete disgrace?

you have pics of Saucy..my my my lol

[Value Of Pi]

Getting back to this... I would agree (hell, Noorie certainly has not improved after decades of practice.)  I just don't think that Art would turn the seat over to somebody who co-hosted the "gabcast" a few times (listened to by at least a dozen loyal listeners each week).  I may be wrong about her experience...

I don't think it is harsh... and I have not listened to her to know if she has "it" or if "it" is lacking.  I suppose we will see.  For now, I only know that she has been handed a show with a pissed off fan base on a network that will likely cease to exist in a month during a time when costs for bumper music are (supposedly) set to skyrocket.  I don't know how you make a go of it with those conditions (talent, or not.)

Yup, yup, yup, not a recipe for everybody living happily ever after. It's tough to come up with a recipe like that under any circumstances.

[jazmunda]

lol

I see....I am 'clique-less'. *sigh*

Oh well. Tis no cure for that. I shall endure.

If you had to do what I had to do to get into that clique you wouldn't be so butt hurt. Oh wait .....

[EarthAlien007]

lol

Why is that?

oh now...shush...Mr. Nice-Nice...I am having such fun watching the carnage as BellGab disintegrates into nothingness. So apt, so poignant...so delightfully real.

[jazmunda]

you have pics of Saucy..my my my lol

Someone was getting paid by RCH. Too soon?

[Richard Groyper]

Ross? Pics Jaz or GTFO!

Refusing to co-operate with the authorities so they can try to determine who called and threatened to slaughter his wife and daughter is protecting his family?

[Element 115]

lol

[TheGrimCreeper1]

lol. It's none of your business either. I'm sorry that you're transferring your grief over to anger at me, but I understand Time heals sunshine.

All the relationship analogies are getting a bit old. Art jerked his show out from under us again  and people are right to be pissed.  Some of us went out and bought XM radio equipment and got locked into a contract to listen to his previous incarnation.  Shortly after, he found a bullshit reason to quit.  Maybe that doesn't bother you, but don't play holier-than-thou with those of us it does. Or are you just being a wanker for sport?

[Element 115]

It's not about cooperation, law enforcement cannot make you file a report. Art just wanted it on record.
