Oh. Fuck.
Whoops... I was so wrong. I'm sorry Joe. That really sucks.
Turns out Pete and Sam are the assholes. XD
Good luck to you all. I hope you work things out.
Here's what Joe put up at their forum.

SUBJECT: "Hi Everyone. I Was Fired."
First off, very typical. This is exactly what I expected from them. Try and make it look like I didn't want to be in the band. I was fired plain and simple; in fact there wasn't even a discussion about it they just dropped it on me. I told them I would never quit and they would have to fire me. They were trying to get me to quit and told my managers that I did. I called sam and said "why are you doing this?" and he said we don't want you to come back. I said I will not quit. The next day pete called for the first time and said "did (our managers) call you and tell you your out?" I said "no, were they supposed to?" he eventually said in that short conversation "your fired". I am insulted by the message on the front page of the site,(by the way, thats the first change to the site I've seen in at least a year!) it is completely false and out of line. I made no decision and am not taking a break. I will be working on getting a new job immediately. A break also means there's a chance to come back, and nothing could be farther from reality. I was fired and they have not said a word to me since. I would never ask to be back in (why would I want to after this?) and I never did in the past when I quit. "We'll miss having him on the road with us"... Right.
Here's what Sam and Pete put up on the site:
Chevelle has announced that bassist Joe Loeffler will not be touring with the band this summer.
"After three years of non-stop touring and recording, Joe is taking a break to be home with family. We'll miss having him on the road with us, but as his brothers and bandmates we respect his decision and are looking forward to getting out there and playing for the fans. See you on tour."
- Pete and Sam Loeffler
Assuming bass duties for the band's summer shows will be former Filter guitarist Geno Lenardo.
God knows (and so does Heather) that I know what it's like to try to put up with your younger sibling when they absolutely refuse to stop being an asshole. Man, can I sympathize. What they did seems completely normal to me. I mean fuck - if I could kick Layla out, I would. XD It also seems normal in that it appears to be a bit of an over-reaction, but that's how it goes with siblings. Holy hell... I can barely live with Layla... I can't imagine trying to work with her, too. On tour, I mean. (We both work at school.) I hear touring's a major major pain in the ass. I'm not surprised they all wore down.
Heh. Good thing I went and looked. I thought it was incredibly odd how right I was...
