I gather the 'Grassy Knoll' division of Moose Logistical Solutions will also do that, albeit on a rather more permanent basis. | |

Yes Joe, I agree. I like Ken But he did log on yesterday and disappeared. Pfft. | |

So what happened to old Benters then......? on 09:44 - Dec 4 by jeera | It's not complicated mate. He has seen the attention that deleted posters get and wanted a bite. |
But why though? He always said he never cared what people on here thought of him. And I believed him. | |

So what happened to old Benters then......? on 09:30 - Dec 4 by imsureazzure | 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? |
To agree with another poster here, that doesn't even add up. Bentley is the ultimate example of someone who doesn't 'do' discussion. He is Mr Dismissive to anything that slants from his ridiculous views*. *Views. Surely to hold a view you have to at least make some effort to understand what it is you have a view about. | |

So what happened to old Benters then......? on 09:41 - Dec 4 by jeera | 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. |
We are all just a bundle of opinions and behaviours. When we go, our opinions and behaviours are just expressed and played out by others. I would like my leaving (of this forum and of my life) to be as unremarkable as I am in the general scheme of things. | |

So what happened to old Benters then......? on 09:43 - Dec 4 by The_Romford_Blue | 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. |
I think he got bored with the constant bile directed at him from people who didn’t agree with his opinions, much of this plain to see on this thread. Very sad. | |

A bundle? I'll have you know I am a complex system thingy that can feed, and on some days, even dress itself. I made bread yesterday. It wasn't brilliant, but was ok. I've looked at what's left today and I would fancy my chances fighting off any burglar with it. | |

To ourselves we are probably more, but to each other, you and I are just a bundle of opinions and posting behaviours. But I still like you. [Post edited 4 Dec 2017 10:01]

Rubbish. Absolute deliberate attempt at trouble making, rubbish. You used to be fun, and interesting. Someone's hacked your account. | |

Much like your good self, Benters NEVER argued in good faith, and thought he was entitled to his own facts. No great loss, especially when you're still here to fulfil that role. | | | |

Oyster in troll shocker. Used to be mildy amusing, bit like any act that repeats the same gag over and over, after time, the masses get bored, which then in turn makes the trolling redundant (hopefully) | |

So what happened to old Benters then......? on 09:30 - Dec 4 by caught-in-limbo | Crikey, it's like reading the comments section on an obituary page in the Daily Mail following the death of right-wing hate figure. 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. |
And we will always have his balls. | |

Funny how even friends have different views. I actually prefer the "hacked" version of Oyster. I hope this won't affect our friendship adversely. | |

There is a huge gap between taking on an alternative view, and being daft for the sake of it. I quietly read and try to take on board much of what many posters put on here, because I like to learn. And if I don't understand I am not afraid to ask. I will speak up sometimes if I can see that someone is deliberately being a 'youknowwhat'. I may not have a great education, but I have been around the block a few times and can see when someone is taking the piss. | |

I think the majority of the most active posters on this site ARE taking the piss. They should be spending more time with their families or doing the work they're paid to be doing. That includes me. | |

I want your advice on something sometime incidentally. I'll be in touch. Edit: If that's ok. [Post edited 4 Dec 2017 10:36]

A controversial 'character', but i'd chatted with him about an issue we had both mutually faced, and he is great. Never met the fella, but I've nothing but good thing to say about him. As for the baiting on here, it just passes me by really. Hope you're ok Benter. | | | |
