Art Bell

[Ciardelo]

Here is my take on why Heather does not want to expose herself beyond a voice on the radio.  We create an online presence through our avatars and our postings.  She was Redacted, with the suave and sultry Emma Peele from the early Avengers as her avatar.  That is how we remember her and her image.  Could it be that her real life appearance is very contradictory to her online screen presence, and she might be afraid of unhealthy critiques?  You know how this forum processes unattractive people.  Go find a picture of Walmart shoppers and post them as they are often presented as Coast Insiders. 

Would anyone have expected Norry to look like he does?  I remember I loved the voice of a disc jockey on one of the local shows, it was very deep and clear.  Well, I ended up working with him at one point when I was doing temporary work and he was a scrawny little man.  The voice does not always coincide with the physical features.

This is a thread about Art Bell.  Well, Art Bell is who I am compromised with.  Compromised with my choice of people to sit in his seat as a replacement and compromised as to my choice in talent.  To think, that I as an avid listener would be all right with mediocrity to replace him makes my tail go up and down in anger. That's not all right and I don't listen, and I will not listen.  I am insulted as an Art Bell Fan that this would be the answer to all things on MITD.  Just because he says something and he endorses that person is not enough for me.  That person must have the talent and experience to back it up. 

It is like because, I Art Bell, pass the seat on to this person, it is the answer.  Well, it is not an adequate answer for me and it makes my blood boil to be insulted in that manner.

Hi. Good Morning

Are you sure you mean that? Your blood is boiling? You feel insulted?

It's just a radio show.

Art's perfect rebuttal, posted on Facebook midnight PT:

People are starting to lose their jobs because of Bell's personality glitch, but he's over it.

Yes, it really looks like a family that's had the Dickens scared out of it for the last month.

That was last month; we're in January now and the 'stalker' has evaporated the same as the brandy on the Christmas pudding.

Until next time that he needs to jerk off to the posts of his faithful pathetically salivating over the half promise of a return. It's the prospect that excites; when the reality happens it's an anti climax for him.

Nice try. Actually, it wasn't all that good, but my New Year's resolution is to be more tolerant of idiocy, so it's your lucky day.  I don't see the point of 'filling in' in if the overwhelming likelihood is that the network will fold after a a few weeks. You may as well cut your losses in that situation. As I said, though (and that's the bit you so notably failed to quote), not revealing anything about yourself means that you will always be small-time. That's fine, and entirely her decision, but it all feels a bit redundant to me.

You can't call a couple of sketchy appearances on a podcast 'hosting' either. I was one of four other people, I was unpaid (well, hookers and coke, but they don't count) and I didn't have paying subscribers to satisfy. Heather was taking over from a fully-fledged radio personality with a subscriber base. Is it any wonder people are likely to be curious about who this mystery person is?

Please don't worry about breaking your new years resolution- the majority will be broken in the first week anyhow...

I think we probably both agree that this may relegate her to the "small time", but perhaps that is where she wants to be for now?

As for her subscriber base... I believe that many (if not most) people have pulled their subscriptions.  I have left mine intact for now, despite the fact that I have only heard two of her shows live and am unlikely to download any (didn't even download a Bell show...)  I wonder how many people concerned about her identity are subscribers... I wonder how many even listen to her show?

It seems strange to not subscribe, not listen to her, not like her radio personality, yet still be concerned about who she is...

The best description I've read of her appearance is from Aldous -- he's friends with her outside this forum -- and he said she is someone any man would be proud to be seen at dinner with.

I don't really want to comment on Heather/(Redacted) other than to offer support for what must be a lousy situation she didn't ask for.

From everything I've gleaned, she is a young, attractive, nice person.  But so what if she's not, Aldous is friends with her and that's good enough for me.  Didn't she once say something on the GabCast about finally getting to the end of a bad situation?  I'm sure I recall something like that.  No idea what she meant by it, but it's possible she had something along the lines of a stalker, identity theft, or had been involved in a really lousy relationship, and enough time had gone by for her to feel comfortable and feel like she was getting her life back. 

Perhaps whatever it was she was referring to is guiding her to be cautious now.  Or who knows maybe she doesn't care to reveal personal details until she knows whether this is going to last.  Either way, people ought to give her a break and see where this goes.

Interesting. Now that DP appears to have gotten embarrassed and flown the coop, in comes the Falkie thread people to shit up the thread and go after Heather now that Art's been thoroughly beaten to death.

[3OctaveFart]

Message boardery is sssserious businessss. No dissenting opinion will be tolerated on this, the high-minded Art Bell thread.

Think critically for once: Does that look like the snapshot of a family that is scared out of its wits? When do the locusts come to Pahrump after the Christmas snowfall?

You're so fucked in the head lol. You don't listen to Art, never have, your sole modus operandi in engaging with this "Art lied" shit is to piss people on a message board off and somehow in that's 'fun'. Sorry life has treated you that shitty, man, and I mean that.

Go fuck yourself lol. This isn't dissent, this is bullshit. People trying to piss other people off in a giant orgy of negativity.

No, I was laughing. We are at a new low in this thread if people really think trolling constitutes dissenting opinion. No, it's just a few stupid assholes trying to get a rise out of people.

How does fuck off sound?

As for being fucked in the head; one of us writes fantasy novels and subscribes to the fantasies of a septuagenarian who married a woman old enough to be his grand daughter and reproduced with her, and then invents a stalker/assassin story that the police don't take seriously; nor does the 'neighbour' come forward to confirm the incident. Yeah, one of is fucked up, but on balance, it isn't me..and believe me old love, many many more on this forum agree with me than you.

It's fucked up that you even think shit like that up LOL. Dude, you have some kind of internet addiction and it's fucking you up pretty badly. Go outside, there's a world out there.

Can't quite describe it, actually. I can show you though, pull yours out of Falkie's and we can discuss. BTW, it's seriously fucked up and a massive reflection of your character and intelligence how much you're invested in Falkie. Fucking grade A sad, man. Like I said, there's a world out there. Ever been with a chick? It's really fun. Don't miss out on life fixating on an elderly fat man.

[3OctaveFart]

It is so far up there you could use his lungs for earmuffs.

Trolling used to have a specific meaning; now it is used to connote whatever the group doesn't accept, or want to accept. That maybe this is is sorta kinda the tall tale that was his program's lifeblood for 20 years.

Actually, I agree, I won't even define what's happening in this thread as trolling. It's just stupid, old, rehashed crap that's been so utterly beat to death there's nothing left but a puddle.

Invested? Oh pish...I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. You give him far more credit than he's ever deserved. I don't hate him, in fact I hate no-one.

But that's for the Senda thread. Which part of the previous post that you said was 'fucked up' do you think is incorrect? The marriage bit or the fantasy stalker bit? Please; enlighten this unintelligent bloke from the north of England.

Fixated is the perfect word. It's fucked up. All you do is shit negativity in threads anymore. You used to contribute ideas occasionally, but now it's just this negative garbage everywhere I see you post. It's fucked up. Go outside. Get back on an even keel. Ignore Falkie, he's consuming you.

Quit with the emotive passive aggressive blithering. I don't want you banned, or anyone else for that matter. I'm just here to smack some sense into you.
