*The facts about alt.fan.art-bell (afa-b)*
*by Bruce Kettler*
*Update: June 2005*
*The history of the afa-b takeover:*
The newsgroup "*/alt.fan.art-bell"/*was founded by Peggy Hall,
a*/real/*/*fan*./She had been a fan since Art
was at*KWDN*in Las Vegas, in 1988.
In May 1994, when it became intolerable because of the abuse
from the haters of*/Art Bell/*and his fans,
Keith Rowland formed a mailing list and Peggy had the group
deleted. Later, Tim Hill restarted it.
This link shows whatKeith Rowland
<http://www.psicounsel.com/skepti02.html#keith>, WEBMASTER of
theArt Bell Web Site <http://www.artbell.com/>, wrote about
the*invaders*who
have occupied*/alt.fan.art-bell (afa-b)/*.
This indicates <http://www.psicounsel.com/whos.html#afab>who
some of the "afa-b bullies" are. "afa-b bullies" is a term of
Raymond Karcjzewski and others.
Later, a group calling themselves "Skepticult
<http://www.psicounsel.com/skeporg.html>" formed, branched off
from the the invaders of alt.fan.art-bell.
Tim Hill had been the "afa-b bullies" original leader, but the
skepticult organization was started by Jon
Walsh. This group announced they would be taking over
alt.paranormal. I had originally coined the
word, "skepticult."
*Tim Hill claims he/founded/the newsgroup afa-b, though he only
restarted it.*
*Similarly, Blaine Henry, (aka "digger")blatant censor
<http://www.psicounsel.com/discsens.html>, (another censor link
<http://www.psicounsel.com/cult.html>) claims*
*he/founded/alt.paranormal.*
It is understood by the author that these people have not
legally taken over anything. There are many
new people on the net, and such propaganda as the above, makes
the claims a reality to them.
This page <http://www.psicounsel.com/discouraged.html>gives a
clear indication of the destructive activities of the
anti-art-bell fanatics. Check out the links.
This page ismy commentary
<http://www.psicounsel.com/afabfaq.html>on an alt.fan.art-bell FAQ.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"*Anti-Art Bell"*people occupy*/alt.fan.art-bell/*with writing that the
major content of*/Art Bell/*'s program, or Art's personality, is
something they don't like. Why listen then?*They listen
<http://www.psicounsel.com/page9328-a.htm#idiot>*to*/Art Bell/*for no
other reason than to*/repeatedly/*look for things to complain about.
When such people call themselves "*fans*," they show even greater
delusion. A realistic solution would be for them to start a newsgroup
called*/alt.basher.art-bell,/*or*/alt.hate.art-bell./*
Why would anyone want to post to a newsgroup with people in it who hate
Art Bell? Indeed, that is why so many who look at the newsgroup do not
want to post. However, change can be brought about, and you can help.
