Author Topic: Truckers being followed & having their lives threatened Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-23-2002 01:17 PM                     I'll probably take some flack for this but, anyway, here goes... Not to be a party-pooper or anything, but this is starting to feel like a personal attack thread. I can see that -- on the surface, at least -- there is an element of fun-and-games at work. However, given Matthew's history of strange posts (i.e. his aversion to the "edit" button and the creation of impractical forum games) I'm inclined to believe that (a) with this post he has reached critical mass and (b) as a result, the floodgates are now open. In other words, I'm sensing a little hostility here. Call it a sixth (or seventh!) sense. My point is that I thought we were to avoid this type of behavior. If Matthew's creation of this thread is indeed "the last straw" then, surely, there are other corrective measures that can be taken that don't involve personal attacks and humiliation in a somewhat public arena. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Matthew is a real prankster and gets off on yanking Brad's chain. Maybe he enjoys getting everybody all riled up. Even so, this doesn't mean that we should go down that road. Or does it? Brad, if I'm out of line, just let me know; I'll gladly delete this post and avoid reading future posts in this thread.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-23-2002 04:26 PM                     I miss Andrew McCrea. Talk about strange posts! What if... the FBI got ahold of HIM! =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 11-23-2002 06:14 PM                     Teasing? Sure. Attacking? No. At least that's the way I've been reading the posts. However given Matthew's history of strange posts and failure to follow policies, he is lucky I haven't pulled the plug on him.  |  IP: Logged Matthew Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 461 From: Port Arthur,TX Registered: Sep 2000 posted 11-23-2002 06:52 PM                     I'm sorry but I'm not the type of person who people on this forum think I am. I an telling the dead straight truth when I heard it through my own two ears. If you don't believe me ,send an email to Art.  |  IP: Logged Matthew Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 461 From: Port Arthur,TX Registered: Sep 2000 posted 11-23-2002 10:30 PM                     Please note what I heard on the radio,my mother heard it too. She nor I did not make this up. Art has his shows recorded & sends tapes to listeners that missed them & did not record them themselves.  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-23-2002 10:34 PM                        As was said before, Art Bell's radio show is, in part, fiction. I live 55 miles away from Mr. Bell and have listened to his show for over 5 years. You have to take what you hear on his show with a grain of salt. I respect Mr. Bell tremendously and I hate to see him retire (again) - however his show has always been 'on the edge' and 'way out there'.  |  IP: Logged Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 11-24-2002 02:59 AM                     Tim said, quote: I think Phil Hendrie stole his act -- only Phil is forthcoming about it. I have to disagree with you on that one, though the bits that Phil did imitating the Art Bell show were better than the real Art Bell show. You just can't beat a show where Clark Kent calls in to tell of his discovery of "fly juice" and "x ray vision syrum". Don't forget the classics like my fave "guest" Mavis, in her news segment, "when is it proper to almost whup a child unconscious,or till their a$$ is bleeding profusely?".

Oh! yes by the way in my world FBI is Full Blooded Irish and I believe they are checking up on my "Maartini's" Hic!  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 11-24-2002 03:49 PM                       Dan said: quote: I have to disagree with you on that one, though the bits that Phil did imitating the Art Bell show were better than the real Art Bell show. I know Phil Hendrie's an original, I was just trying to say that Art Bell comes off (to me, at least) as doing the same thing Phil does, only without coming clean about it. (And nothing against you, Matthew, I've quite enjoyed your posts!) Let's all head out to Ted's of Beverly Hills for a full-wrapped baked potato!  |  IP: Logged
