Default Does anyone know ben in real world

does anyone know the omnipresent 'Ben' in the "real world" ?

he is of interest to me. -- it seems like he has a loyal congregation; but no one knows who he really is --and no one has met him !?

wouldn't really care about him but he attacks us regularly then also just sent us a PM saying we attack people on here -- so what if we came to defend ourselves isn't that allowed?? also noteworthy = 11+ of his buddies don't like us and have all messaged him to let him this fact. its sad, really -- 'Ben' has told us we are con-men. He wont respond to us or speak -

has anyone ever spoken to Ben --?

we come in peace just looking to have a transparent environment for all

we are happy to be a part of the NET54 forum and we are on the verge of our first deal on here ! --will post the results and our heavy-duty trade partner will do the same --

here to #1 have fun #2 buy cards #3 sell a few

I have not met Ben but I will say this. Ben won a lot of cards, one of which I liked. We messaged and he sent me the card, for nothing, and asking nothing in return.

Yes, the OP has come onto this forum with a lot of chest pounding, finger pointing and smack talk and that certainly never ends well on here.

I don't understand the purpose of this thread considering this question was already asked, responded to by BNorth, and in turn responded to by you again Sunday evening.

Agreed. Why does it matter if he has not met anyone in person? Does that make his comments about your dealings any more/less valid?

Ps: I have never met "the other Ben" for the record.

I'm not a Ben knower in real life. But I play one on TV.

I could be wrong, but probably not. I just have a funny feeling with this Topps-aholic member. His recent posts, his use of the word "we' and "us", his calling out other members, etc. Just throwing that out there....

Like other forums I've been on less classy then this one, perhaps Leon needs to implement a "Smacktalk" section, so the members here can take out their frustrations on one another outside of the Main area of the site.

This too will probably run its course and end badly...
