Sarah, I know for a fact Pebbles has been cloned today already (in chat), are you sure its the real one you are talking about?
Just thought it was a coincidence that I was told about a clone today in her name and then her name coming up here because as Pats said she very rarely goes in chat, I think she has only been in twice.
Hellooooooooo sharon,
Who bliddy knows …… clone or real – I ain’t got a flippin clue. #-o
Guess I will be in for it if it ain’t the real one :-# – but that just keeps the home fires burning so to speak.I will of course bake a humble pie (just in case). :lol:
Watcha Sarah 8)
Well knowing Pebbles as we do Im sure she will tell it exactly as it is when she comes on, as she is extremely straight with people.
Yep Pats, I always get told when “sharongooner” has been about in chat, as you say most know I dont go in there, so it does leave me open to be used as an abuser.
FFS… there’s enough going on the boards never mind me going in there too….. I couldnt cope with it!!!

22 August, 2008 at 2:07 pm #36547722 August, 2008 at 2:08 pm #365478Cas I have a lot of respect for you as you know , you yourself have been the target and been wrongly attacked yourself on the boards so you know how it feels, however, the attack on Ben if it was of the magnitude that ratchett described was out of order, I understand ratchets outrage……
however, this is a clear case (on my part at least) of rushing in to defend a poster without knowing the facts but to be honest even if I had known the facts the attack to the magnitude ratchett described was deffo out of order , but maybe he should just be banned?
Cas, as far as vampy is concerned, sure there was no ‘open letter’ but a lot of us ‘stood up to be counted’ when she was being attacked by UK Pilot , we have all been atttacked but it is clear ‘ratchett’ was just taken aback by the strength of the attacks on Ben but what is clear forum 3 chatters (or some) have clearly had enough of this guy mental illness or not. maybe the kindest thing for Ben would be for him to be a boot on site (one for the administrators to work out ay)
Hi Cath
And me yrself hun,,,,and yes your quite right that I did suffer some abuse at the hands of some of the imbesiles, some of it I found upsetting at the time, some days, others not so.
As far as Bencase is concerned, who but himself knows the real facts of anything. There are users who felt sorry for him, chatted to him in pm, only to find themselves victims of his sickness, and i’m not just talking to bi-polar disorder, if infact it exists at all.
Vampy, yes I know, many pple did stand and be counted, it was just I was trying to say that there was no ”open letter” about that, and it was equally as bad at times. I also defended Vamps but quietly,,,,I saw very little point in saying anything to Pilot, that only fuels his flames.
I suppose it could be said, then why I am putting my twopenneth in on this one. It’s because, as iv’e already said,,,,,,yesterday evening, I was in the Lobby room, and pple were chatting, having a laugh and a joke and Bencase came in,,,,,before anyone!!! had said anything to! him, someone else had said something to another user, can’t remember who now, but Ben then said,,,,,are you talking about me, and within seconds, the entire atmosphere of the room had changed and Ben had made this comment, all about himself, which it wasn’t!! Again, that was why I said that if he infact does! have this disorder and it’s to a magnitude he’s clearly exhibiting,,,,,then maybe this is the wrong place for him.
I do think though,,,,that this Ratchet person, whoever they may be, before starting to name and shame others for what they have said to Ben, should maybe also take a look at what Ben has said and / or done to them.

Several people in the Forum 3 chatroom have been talking almost obsessively about their ongoing attempts to encourage a well known chatter, Bencase, to commit suicide.
Bencase is known to have mental health issues and claims to be taking medication for bipolar disorder.
There has also been an enormous amount of abuse aimed at Bencase, based solely on his mental illness. This is offensive to anyone whose life, or family life, has been affected by mental illness, which is actually very common.
The justification given by these individuals for their bullying and abuse has been along the lines of:
“He deserves it by coming in here and talking about his mental health”
“He’s a fruit loop so deserves everything he gets”
“It would do the world a favour if he killed himself”Bencase may or may not be a perfect individual, I don’t know. He may have rubbed people up the wrong way, or been rude or offensive. I’ve heard conflicting reports about him. But it’s worth noting that many people claim to have been friends with him for a long time but are also being intimidated and bullied for defending him, and are often too afraid to speak up when a number of regulars are holding their witch hunt in the room.
However, whatever he might have done wrong, absolutely nothing justifies the concerted efforts being made by a number of chatters to “push him over the edge and make him end it all”, as one of them said today.
If Bencase is a problem to anyone, they should simply ignore him.
This is bullying of the worst and most disturbing kind. There are approximately five “regulars” at the centre of this.
One “regular” in particular has been rallying the room to “stick together” and “work as a team” to try and “break him”.
She spoke for half an hour about what she called “Operation Overdose”. She said in no uncertain terms, that she was on a mission to make Bencase commit suicide. She said “if we work hard enough, we can get him to take enough of his loony pills to finish him off”, and “i know we can do this”.
These comments have now become sinister and vile in the extreme.
It is also deeply unpleasant to watch how other people in the room will jump on the bandwagon and join in with the bullying, even though they don’t know Bencase and have never heard of him before. They want to belong to the crowd and are prepared to say the most odious things to a mentally ill person in order to achieve that.
A certain guide who can be found in Forum 3 late most evenings/nights has witnessed all this bullying and to my sheer amazement has actually joined in with it. I’m not going to name names here, but if Martin Reed wishes to investigate or check logs, it won’t be at all difficult to identify the guide I’m talking about. (Hint – this is the same guide who says “lol i’ll pretend i never heard that mibs” when Man in Beds talks about his desire to put rubber tyres around the necks of black people and set them on fire).
This might be one big joke or form of entertainment to some people, but the line is being crossed. There was a case reported in the news where a man did commit suicide whilst using a chat room, and the police did actually trace and interview the people who had been in the room at the time.
So I ask people to think very carefully about what they’re saying, if not for Bencase’s sake then for their own sake.
I call upon Martin Reed to take decisive action instead of allowing guides to tolerate and join in with this behaviour. If no action is taken I will report this matter to Easily.co.uk, Parachat, and any other company affiliated with this website, as they would undoubtedly not want to be associated with a company that condoned this kind of activity.
Again, I reiterate that whatever Bencase has allegedly done wrong is besides the point. Nothing justifies the things that have been said to him. If you don’t like him, just ignore him.
Go commit suicide.

yeah i met “pebbles “earlier today.. knew within seconds it wasnt her, a giveaway with typing skills for one thing. She pestered me in pm about clones and was saying it all in open chat too about her hatred of clones. I refused to answer her and gave very little away , apart from a firm FVCK OFF. at that she dissapeared when she realised she wasnt getting anywhere with me.
so i can systematically state that our pebbles has a clone.. as do I and Bat spots IT everytime. Its boring !
