I once made an crass joke about a funeral he was attending. It caused total offence to many and I had a short ban. When I was back I PMed him and apologised. He was polite, said he personally wasn’t offended, but called me a twit for what I wrote.

He calmly called it right. And he’s a gentleman. Respect. The world needs more BensGrandads.
Mmm, there was also the occasion where he wished someone's relative was abuse by a paedo. Not always a gentleman.

I find it amazing how many keyboard warriors there are in the world, hiding behind the safety of their own screens.

Fact of "online life" I'm afraid. Some people who have to do star jumps in the shower to get wet act like Arnold Shwarzenegger when they sit in front of their PC.

I've always said there should be a function where you can press a button on your own keyboard then a fist pops out of their screen and clumps them in the snotter.

It's called bullying :shrug:

Exactly and bullies need to get a life:rant:


Not always bullying, he writes some 'controversial' things, gets called out like anyone else would. But unlike anyone else he JUST.KEEPS.GOING.

Mmm, there was also the occasion where he wished someone's relative was abuse by a paedo. Not always a gentleman.

I remember that and it was pretty despicable.

Well I used a caveat, and yes sometimes lots of us cross a line. Bullying is despicable, but if he is really concerned about it then perhaps he should re-read his posts a couple of times before pressing enter?

He is definitely a bloke. I've met him.

BG admits he likes to stir it a little bit, but there is no excuse for bullying. We can disagree with each other without being nasty or ganging up on each other.

I've always had the thought of 'Aw, everyone is so mean to BG, leave him alone, he reminds me of my grandad'. I think he's great. I love a random thread from him especially the tech ones! You do realise that we are talking about him as if he was no longer with us though! Bg makes me chuckle loads. :love:

That was me. It was probably the only time anything said online had genuinely bothered me. I used to like his musings/ramblings. Never once did he directly apologise.
