I think he was playing around with the English language He shouldn't play with it. In his hands, English is a danger to him, and to everyone around him...someone could be seriously hurt. We can't just go slapping words on the screen, willy-nilly, without thinking of the consequences. It's all fun and games until someone dies. Why, suppose one of those errant, fragmented sentences just wandered over and took out a busload of Girl Scouts, FI? It could be worse, too. Suppose that busload of Girl Scouts got total brain fry from trying to figure out what that sentence meant, fell into a depressed, suicidal state, got put on psych drugs, failed to get into the Ivy League colleges of their choices, and ended up being drug mules for the Siniloa gang? It would be a terrible waste, throwing those young girls into short, desperate, violent, poverty-stricken lives, and FL1 would never see an end to the lawsuits. Ben wouldn't want any of that to happen, but all it takes is one double negative, one incomplete sentence, or one little subject/verb disagreement, and...well, I just don't want to think about it...the possibilities are too ugly.

Everyone just feels the need to be a spelling teacher on here Don't tell me...let me guess. You don't understand why some think the spelling is so often pathetic enough to be worthy of comment? most mods being users on here since FL1 Is just to busy to watch these forums all the time. I think it makes more sense to appoint users as mods than to appoint people who never look at the forum, and the pay is quite affordable, compared to paying people in the office to moderate. I think the forums have gotten quite boring without ben You should look elsewhere for the cause of your boredom; we're not without him, which I think is a good thing. LOOSE THI MIRSPELNIG!!!!!

First I just think it's funny yet stupid that when people have nothing else to say, They resort to bad spelling.... Second, I never said it was a bad thing that they have users as mods, I just said if you don't agree with them as users or get in agruement with them Then they put on the ego had and bann you or lock the thread when certain user names have the last word. And I know we are not without him, But he should'nt keep getting his user name banned for bs. And speaking his mind,Just like anyone else.

I didn't see this one, and so can't say whether I think it was an overreaction or not, but I heard it had to do with language.
Mods have a tough balancing act, there, and it has somewhat to do with context, and what exactly is said. There's the MASE, and then there's all the other words, FI.
I think mods are pretty good, and do cut Ben quite a bit of slack. I like to think they keep in mind what may have, at least partially, caused him to be the way he is (and cause him to be on meds, because of the way he is, and you shouldn't disrespect that any more than you'd disrespect a guy who's had his foot blown off, while fighting somebody else's war, for somebody else's reasons, just because he doesn't walk like most people. You've got to have some sympathy and understanding. But, they can't let everything go.
