I started on the markets at 12. And I have spent my life trying to make up for my lack of education ever since. I hate being ill-informed, uneducated and ignorant. And I will continue to try to right that until I die. | |

So what happened to old Benters then......? on 08:24 - Dec 4 by imsureazzure | Perhaps he was p1ssed off with one persons bordering on psychopathic bullying obsession with him? Benter's spoke his mind sometimes it was wide of the mark, but that is how conversations are created, without it people just nod, supposedly knowingly. |
It's almost like you forgot the way Benters and Taxers followed Rommy around this board like a couple of inappropriate pervy weirdos. | |

For balance Witchers, you would have to also mention the down-side of posts from the likes of Bentley and Taxi. Otherwise you come across as the very person you are criticising. | |

They are not excuses, just hate to see bullying and that is what it is. The continued bullying and calling out was allowed and endorsed, terrible traits. | | | |

I've seen Bentley make off the cuff remarks about people drowning. Apparently it's ok if they're brown. I don't like to hear or read that in any way, shape, or form. I have disagreed with people I 'like' on here, including Facters and Badger. Your point would carry more weight if you had done the same publicly when it comes down to the nasty stuff the aforementioned have posted. Maybe they're your mates, or maybe you are afraid of them. I don't know. But if you're going to openly criticise, make it balanced and fair. Or your views aren't valid. I've always liked you - you can be funny. And your comment of putting my drowned car into rice to dry it out will always be one of favourite comments I've taken from this site. But I make you wrong on this. | |

I've met him a couple of times and he's decent company although he pulled me up over saying that he comes over different in real life versus on here. Shared a few PM's with him and argued a fair bit with him - we were very much from the opposite side of the spectrum on a number of issues but he was a good gauge on most matters. If he disliked something (football/politics), then rest assured, I'd be the polar opposite. He'll be back. | |

Yes. I agree. But as I was saying, for it to be fair you have to call it both ways bud. Or it just doesn't count. | |

To make it clear I disagree with a great deal that Benter's posted, moreover the way it was communicated. To cheaply call him a racist bigot buthole, et al is not the way to encourage debate. Without different opinions there is no meaningful conversation and how can one be persuaded that their argument is wrong if they are no longer here to communicate with? | | | |

Fortunately, Benters has almost certainly not passed away, and anyone who dedicates the time to this place that he does is unlikely to vanish in an instant for ever. | |

"Opinions are like arseholes, we all have one but they are all different." And it seems that there are lots of people who get very passionate about certain minority arseholes. | |

"not the way to encourage debate" I'm guessing you're not talking about Benters himself debating. I don't recall him ever having a debate on here. If he liked something he'd say "this", if he didn't he'd say "balls", or he'd make a confrontational statement or two then burger off. People have told him what was wrong with his blanket statements and never once that I recall did he do anything other than stick to his guns. | | | |

Keno's alright, he's a bit busy and just taken a break from the forum for a while. I'm meeting up with him in the new year, I'll let him know how much he's missed by everyone. | |

What? You don't think you'd get the same air-time if you were to disappear? I shan't flatter myself. No one would notice unless there was space missing having a go at J2 or Rommers on some cooking thread. E.Clacton received his rightful send-off of course, but we hope he will reappear. | |

Seems strange for him to just randomly ask to be deleted. He hasn't had any arguments recently as far as I saw. Especially for someone who posted daily on her. Since Taxi and Cruncher were kicked, I felt I got on alright with Benters and often chatted during the early hours. As much as some of his views I disagreed with, I'm suprised with myself in that I genuinely hope he returns. He's alright when not with his mates. | |

It's not complicated mate. He has seen the attention that deleted posters get and wanted a bite. | |
