Ellgab vs Bellgab

Pass

[26 horses]

I've had horses throughout my live.  But not 26 at one time.  When I lived in Indiana, I had a Tennessee Walker, a double registered Appy-Quarter Horse, and a Palomino Pony (The pony was for my sons). Plus, 24 laying hens, and 5 goats.
We also had several house and barn Cats, and a dog.  Life was good!

Wow Starr that sounds magical!

[26 horses]

My bad.

I see you're back on your usual group think, vanilla, hive-mind bullshit. Who else, besides you voiced their displeasure with "26 horses", and who on earth spouted the scuttlebutt that is this great unveiling? Oh yes ... its no wonder you're following suit - you've always had a liking for marching in lockstep with mediocrity.

To be fair twas Gravity that made the initial observation, Enard is more caboose than engine where such matters are concerned.

Whenever I'm hokey, no one buys it. You give me far too much credit. I need not remind you you were spawned from the same egg as I.

Bart doesn't seem to like me, and neither do any of the other users here, aside from maybe 1 or 2. But that's okay, I guess. I guess its a good thing I don't look to a quasi-Art Bell fan forum for personal validation.

GULP.

You have more friends than you imagine Azz...just sayin'...

I had you pegged in the fall. Your first post betrayed you. By the fifth or sixth post I knew it was you.

Lol, well you're an insightful fella, yes the political constancy is rather impossible to rein in, heh...

That's the thing, though. MV is a different character, he's not predictable and formulaic, and doesn'f fit the mould of your classic forum moderator. That's what's made BellGab so great, brought so many of us like minds together, and ultimately birthed EllGab. None of that would've happened if it weren't for his maverick, individualist moderating style. And I want to urge everyone to keep this in mind.

As far as MV birthing Ellgab, it's more like MV suddenly abandoned his forum child Bellgab, left it for dead, and then Bart Ell rescued it and now it is flourishing. The parent unexpectedly returns thinking everyone will high-five it and to pick up as if nothing has happened. It just doesn't work like that.

Looks like someone can’t stand it when anyone posts so much as a sentence of poking fun at him. Sprinted right back over to Bellgab to whine about Bart’s one liner earlier saying he seemed to like himself a lot. So many fragile little kids desperately demanding affirmation from one another.

This is factual and as he chooses not to address the why of it speculation will remain in full bloom.

Only MV knows the real reasons behind the shutdown and while I do agree with others that say he doesn't owe anyone an explanation, I do think he owed it to forum members to give some advance notice about the shutdown. Maybe a statement a few days before the shutdown such as "I have decided to close the forum on July 4th. Although I am not going to explain the reasons why, I do wish everyone good luck." This would allow forum members time to copy any of their posts they wanted to keep and also to contact other members about an alternative meeting place. The only thing that seems to make sense is that he was angry about the whole thing and wanted a quick clean break from it and wasn't interested in finding someone to continue it while he took a leave of absence from it. Giving some advance notice is just the right thing to do.

I can't fault your narrative, having no notice was frankly jarring. It was also interesting how ufoship.com stayed up and at various times Bellgab was either listed for sale or playing sly avatar games with those who bothered to keep it bookmarked and checked back in. It felt like a psyop of some sort, vaguely creepy even?

And they love to get derisive mileage at the expense of "Varas" ( a term the left revels in as power insult) whilst simultaneously promising them inclusive representation. I mean good grief, who wouldn't want to be a part of the modern day necktie party! Yikes...

Evidently, those tight neckties cut off the circulation to their brains. "Straitjacket" might be more apropos now.

I don't actually, it's a literary reference:

Oh good.  I was concerned it was a trip to TJ gone bad

MV created all of this stuff. Bart Ell was merely a user, just like the rest of us ... That is up until he cyber stalked MV, stole his intellectual property and reformatted it into a chintzy knock-off site. And it'll always be the case ... those are the cold hard facts. BellGab will always be where everything began.
