[HumanBeing]

here we go again with the lawsuit.

...

The only ones who keep showing how stupid they are on this message board are the ones who continually fall for Arts shit and excuse it...again...And again...And again... And will continue to do such.

[SciFiAuthor]

here we go again with the lawsuit.

Want to keep bringing this up?

if Art wants to sue me for restating, giving my opinion  and asking questions about a publicly available information on a video made by a person he sued once and never sued again for the information I have brought up- By all means... He can try.

The only ones who keep showing how stupid they are on this message board are the ones who continually fall for Arts shit and excuse it...again...And again...And again... And will continue to do such.

It's stupid to expose yourself to any potential cost just to troll a message board. It's idiotic behavior. You have publically behaved stupidly.

SFA, the root of the wanker's problem is that he signed up for Sirius on the internet and bought a radio so he could listen to Dark Matter. He is pissed off because he can't cancel his subscription on the internet. He has to call and talk to a human being at Sirius. Try as he may, he hasn't been able to make that call. Now it has been 3 years.

Either that or his uncle touched his butt like Chronaut said.

My Obama phone only gives me limited minutes.

Do it- doxx me (two can play that game)- even if that happens, nobody in my life or around me is going to give a fuck and i have plenty of other online personas not connected to this one.

I'm not worried about any physical retaliation (should I be?) and if his fans are so fucked up as to come after me in a real world way over words- I take precautions in a general sense to ensure my safety since its a dangerous world anyhow and Michigan has very  good laws protecting my right to protect and defend myself. That would be silly and a really dumb thing to do (come after me physically) and wouldnt work out well for anyone- But if someone cant handle words I suppose they are quite unhinged to begin with.

You're such a bitter little punk, I bet you've had your ass kicked dozens of times.
But putting your identity out there is what you deserve.

Maybe ive behaved stupidly (I'm not going to argue that...I do that sometimes) but honestly theres no potential cost other than the time I waste behaving stupidly.

i concur that trolling message boards is idiotic... better than television (to me) though and I multitask while doing such. You're right though, most people dont see the entertainment value in this and I understand.

Ive had my ass kicked a few times and probably deserved it, not going to lie.

You're fucked up in the head if you find the shit you do fun. I'm glad you agree that you're one dumb motherfucker. Agreement is nice.

[Ciardelo]

Just politely answering. No more arguing from me.

are too

Until your identity is posted online for all rabid Art Bell fans to see.
Then you can keep looking over your shoulder.

You're fucked up in the head for falling for Arts shit again and again and again and still believing anything he said.

the difference is, I recognize my failings and admit them. No denial here... I enjoy what I enjoy and it is what it is.

At this point it's obvious that his butt got touched. I just can't believe someone would display their rather ugly psychology along with their stupidity week after week after week just to get some fucked up jollies trolling a message board.

It's just a radio show to me. If Art leaves, well, good luck to him. If he's on the air, I'm happy to listen. That's called being reasonable. It's a far cry from being a dumb nutjob like you've obsessively shown yourself to be here.

[Jackstar]

Look, look--I know you're not new here. What is it? Some bad shellfish? Have a little lie down, you'll feel better later. I promise.

This guy has done nothing worse than what many, many posters here have done over the years. Let's have some perspective now.

[PB the Deplorable]

Oddly, not me. I came here because Art posted here occasionally and I wanted news on whether he would come back or not, and then ended up defending Noory until I figured out that he was a corporate yes man hack.

You bailed on the Snorge because he interviewed some guest Art doesn't like (David Oates?). 

I'm not sure to this day you realize George Noory and his performance actually do suck (and of course you are certainly entitled to think whatever you wish about him).

[DarKPenguiN]

Are they that fucking crazy?

Hint: I look over my shoulder anyway. Theres some crazy motherfuckers out there and honestly this is a pretty scary world these days. My behavior wouldnt change from the precautions I already take. thanks though.

[Jackstar]

It's just a radio show to me.

I don't know what this says about your perception of the fabric of modern society--but I'm listening. (I think I hear whistling.)

Week after week- Dumb ass, I probably havnt posted here for 2 weeks total in 2 years. this is like day 4/5 of this round of the quittening and last time was maybe a week or two tops.

[3OctaveFart]

Jorch must fap to this thread three times a day.

[SixWeekTenure(tm)]

(And, might I add, you were very forethoughtful with your trademarking.)

Thanks to the Guy from Pittsburgh ( tm ), I now know how easy it is to trademark an internet handle. To steal a phrase - If I say it is so, then it is so. Glad you're back, Jackstar.

Glad you're back, Jackstar. 

7. Fear of government spying is chilling writers’ freedom of expression (For full story, click here)

Writers in Western liberal democracies may not face the type of censorship seen in some parts of the world, but their fear of government surveillance is still causing many to think twice about what they can say. Lauren McCauley, writing in Common Dreams, quoted one of the conclusions from a report by the writers’ group PEN America: If writers avoid exploring topics for fear of possible retribution, the material available to readersâ€"particularly those seeking to understand the most controversial and challenging issues facing the world todayâ€"may be greatly impoverished. A PEN America survey showed that 34 percent of writers in liberal democracies reported some degree of self-censorship, compared with 61 percent of writers living in authoritarian countries, and 44 percent in semi-democratic countries. Almost 60 percent of the writers from Western Europe, the United States … indicated that U.S. credibility ‘has been significantly damaged for the long term’ by revelations of the U.S. government surveillance programs. Other than Common Dreams, the PEN report attracted almost no major media attention.

George showed himself as willing to behave underhandedly. After that I wasn't interested. Just a corporate hack out to milk his position for whatever he can while it lasts. I don't really care about his performance, I stopped listening. Off my radar, as it should have been off yours years ago.

[SciFiAuthor]

Week after week- Dumb ass, I probably havnt posted here for 2 weeks total in 2 years. this is like day 4/5 of this round of the quittening and last time was maybe a week or two tops.

Which makes it even more bizarre. You didn't listen and only show up to revel in negativity when he quits. That's fucked up.

[Freyja]

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.

Yeah, or it's their undying devotion to their hero who save them from the big bad boogie man...

What bothers me more than anything else is the other peoples' lives and livelihood that was destroyed when Art had other options to keep his family "safe", keep doing MITD....yet didn't consider those who would be bulldozed by what he did. 

[SciFiAuthor]

I don't know what this says about your perception of the fabric of modern society--but I'm listening. (I think I hear whistling.)

It says absolutely nothing. Don't overcook the chicken.

[Freyja]

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.

Seems so, doesn't it.

Any bets on when he unquits, un hang ups the mic, but hasn't retired? Do we have a bookie here?

[Value Of Pi]

You joined on Dec 15 and have made close to 300 posts. A vast majority of them have been discussing Heather Wade and Art Bell with cynicism and criticism. That's is fine. by all means continue. 300 posts in just at 2 weeks all about the way Art left and Heather not being the host you want. Invested fits you like a glove.

Art's choice of Heather is to me the most interesting topic discussed on this thread since his departure. Not because of all the scandalous stuff but in light of the whole idea of relaunching this magnificent ship only to abandon it to a very questionable heir. It's fascinating to me as someone who sees the various facets of this story.

There's the whole trend of people being appointed into (or self-appointing into) jobs they have no business being in, which is occurring more and more in various fields and parts of society (look at presidential politics). There's the whole anonymity issue which has only become an issue with the arrival of the Internet and social media. There's the massive change going on in the media world as it tries to adapt to major technological developments. I'm just scratching the surface of what this single event evokes when you stop and think of the context in which it has happened. Most of my more serious posts touch on things like this.

Now, you insist on calling this participation of mine and some others "invested" which is your prerogative. I'm trying to point out that saying this is not only pointless, it is also meaningless. You're making a judgement about my motivation for posting which adds nothing to the conversation. It's doubly meaningless because you have been remarkably silent about what I might have at stake in posting, what I have "invested." Unless you'd like to abuse another word and call me a troll, which is the most insulting thing you could say, by the way.

Now you know what interests me about recent events from my own mouth, in unmistakeable words. If you feel like being critical of me, please avail yourself of this information. Better yet, respond to some of the larger issues I've tried to bring up.

[EarthAlien007]

Are they that fucking crazy?

Considering the way you treat Art, hell yeah.

[Jackstar]

It says absolutely nothing. Don't overcook the chicken.

Have you ever read The White Mountains by John Christopher?
