I think what upsets non-Mario fans whether they support Ben or others is that we all get lumped into a category and tarred with the same brush. I am an individual and have my own opinion - Mario is a 30 year old man who knows better. If one or two non-mario fans are unkind to him, I don't condone it. The word bully is being used wrongly here and shouldn't be used as it upsets people.

As I and several other posters have said Ben and Mario aren't and weren't friends - end of - that is just a fact. Why is this a diservice to Ben? Ben is an individual who can look after himself. What someone says on an internet forum is their opinion about a tv show and behaviour after.

But you all jumped on mario because he said that the ben fans who were abusing him are idiots, you all took that personally therefore you are the ones who are grouping yourselves together and flying under the same flag.
I think you are doing ben a disservice because Ben didn't like mario he bitched about him that's fine, he has to live with the consequences of that and he is, that's the loss of mario's friendship, that's between the two of them but when you see mario abused on forums and done under ben's name people remember the bad things about ben and not the good.
Every time I see another thread like this one, Is mario jealous of ben? I just remember all the horrible things ben has said and done. You are not giving people the chance to forget
