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....

We think Ben (or perhaps Toppsaholic) may be related to Bruce.

I have have been a member for a few years with my real name posted the entire time. I am also the only person to use my account.

Now the other user name has more than one person using it and who knows what their real names are.

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.

What we need are more cow bells.

I know Ben North. Great guy, pleasure to deal with, fun to talk to. Wouldn't say it if it wasn't true. Too many dill holes in this world, Ben's not one of them, Toppsaholic, strive not to be another one. Let it go.

I purchased an item from Toppsaholic on eBay a few months ago. Smooth transaction. The PayPal payment went to Mathew Zimmerman.

I agree about the cowbells.

I've met Ben Linus. He was born on the island and has spent more time here than anyone. However, don't be fooled by his appearance. He's calculating and diabolical. He once convinced me that I was talking to an omnipotent force named Jacob, but it turned out I was only speaking to an empty chair. Somehow he remains a candidate.

I've never met anyone in person yet from the board but I've dealt with many and like to think that we are all friends on here until there's a reason not to be. A few of the T206 collectors I like to think of as online family.

Sometimes in real life, certain people just can't get along. It's the same thing online in this case. Not a big deal unless someone makes it a big deal. As always, happy collecting to everyone, including my T206 family.

Four responses in a row? I'm starting to think this is really Jeff Dunham.

I'm not sure what the purposes are in starting this thread, but it has convinced me that I would never deal with you. I would bet that I am not alone in this response. Congratulations!
