Wow, this is too real....this is like "1984"! Well, I am going to hush up now because big brother may be watching.

Dave, spoke with Ben. It's sad what happened here. Check your PM I sent you.
Talk to you soon.

Can we start a "Free OCBen" campaign?

brendo

^ can you expand? we're all curious. i didn't see any obvious ban-worthy posts but erased takes this to a whole different level. even bing and google can't find him.

I heard also from someone and it appears that there was cause for the banning. Sad but there were reasons.

I'd be interested in hearing more about this.

TooSixy

Google still has his posts indexed.

Try: site:forums.rennlist.com "ocben"

The reasons behind the action taken are considered private and confidential between the parties involved (as is always the case).

brendo

i knew you'd say that! i wanted some scoop. damn this confidentiality stuff.

I attempted to send him a private message via Rennlist but it was declined (in other words, he's off the air). He probably finally told the administrators to FOAD.

This may have something to do with him calling another member a "Dimwit" for asking a question about changing the oil in a 997.2.....

doesn't matter...I miss Ben. So back to the 'other' forum to find out!

Sorry, but I'm sure you agree that the best way to handle situations like these by respecting everyone's privacy.

It is interesting to watch threads like this develop, opinions posted, rumors exchanged outside the forum, etc.
The reality is something quite different, since there are only a few people who actually see both sides of the story.

The childhood lesson "there are always two sides to a story" is still true today.

Respecting everyone's privacy does NOT address the issue of why all of his posts have been deleted. Like him or not, a number of his posts contained a lot of valuable information, and now they're gone, gone, gone....

Ban somebody, delete the post(s) that warranted his banning, but don't wipe his existence out completely. That's ridiculous.

A short explanation wouldn't hurt, and may answer everyone's questions!
