Honestly Ben hasn't been activate since he left mazmart. He's had little activity here since Nov of 08.

zoomin 06-08-2009 06:03 PM

pschmidt, are you just hoping that he somehow gets on here and redeems himself or are you taking legal action to resolve this? Whining will get you nowhere, a call from the local DA's office lights a fire under his butt!

over 70 bux? c'mon now:jerkit:
I am as stingy as the next guy, but seriously: a call from the local da's office for a lousy 70 dollars?

I am in no way defending either party though.

Did you not read the other people's complaints as well? If he is willing to do this on a forum he moderates on, what else might he be up to?

Savington 06-09-2009 07:23 AM

Any of the mods have a phone number or something? He obviously isn't on the boards regularly anymore.

evank 06-09-2009 09:37 AM

If anyone knows his surname and where he lives, then in most cases it's easy to find someone's phone number and other contact info ... I'm not taking sides either, just saying ...

gompers 06-10-2009 11:45 AM

It's over 20 bucks, so that's grounds for a suit. He has "sufficient dealings" in your state (contractual, I would think) so I'de imagine he falls within long-arm jurisdiction to put him in court.

All ya gotta do is report it, you're on a time limit.

Get everyone else in on it and spank him.

b1m2x3 06-10-2009 03:24 PM

i believe i have his name/mailing address if anyone needs it.

kotomile 06-10-2009 09:22 PM

Unless his number has changed, I've sent him a text message. Like I said before, he seems like a good guy (and has helped me out in the past), I can't help but think there's some misunderstanding somehow.

And no, I am NOT posting his number.

I'm not saying what he did is not wrong. Its messed up and the people involved have every right to be upset. But as stingy and penny pinching as I am, I still dont think 70 dollars is a large enough amount to warrant a lawsuit.

Are you surprised? Will someone pm me all the details that you have on this guy. It's only $70, but the fact that he's a mod on this site is the reason why I find myself upset by this.

pschmidt 06-11-2009 07:13 AM

Not surprised at all, it has already been 9 months.

In the grand scheme of things, no, $70 is not a lot of money. At this point it's more the principle of the matter.

Kotomile, thanks for sending the text.

fmowry 06-11-2009 07:42 AM

Not to mention people on this forum like to deal with guys they "know" when selling shit. So it puts a bad taste in your mouth when you know a regular AND moderator is stiffing someone. I'd rather deal with someone on here in good faith than some douchebag on ebay who will complain and file a dispute with paypal AFTER the motherfucker gets my stuff.

I actually sold something to Ben. Forgot what (hell, maybe I bought something), and everything worked out well.

Jenny, Jenny, who could I turn to?

Milton Tucker 06-11-2009 12:16 PM

:giggle: Been years since I heard that song.

nickt93 06-11-2009 03:06 PM

No lie - the due that sang that song ("Tommy Tutone", but his real name is Tommy Heath) was a substitute teacher at my high school once. He treated us to an acapella version of Jenny/867-5309...it was pretty sweet. Beat that fuckerzzzz! If I had to put a price on the performance, I would say it was worth about, hmmm, i dunno, maybe $70.

Braineack 06-11-2009 03:08 PM

Dave Grohl's mom was a substitute teacher for us, that was kinda exciting.

One of his former bandmates now works in the food service industry.

Matt, is this still current, or has he breezed through lately? If so, this thread has been on page one since then so he would have had to see it.

Braineack 06-11-2009 04:22 PM

still current.

Continuing the great naval tradition of rum and sodomy.

dpexp 06-11-2009 08:16 PM

As long as there's sex and drugs I can do without the rock n roll.

wildfire0310 06-12-2009 09:47 AM

Talk to Ben last night and to answer a few people comments and statements there is a second side of this story and it helps to explain a good bit. The simple story is it isn't black and white and Ben agrees that something needs to be done to correct everything.

Also why he hasn't been on here is that is internet is out at his house and one of the post on here tripped the filter at work. Most likely do to the work Fuck in the title. Either way I PM Ben's information to the guy so they can come to an agreement.
