I think the only way the "Ben Bashing" will stop is for Ben to do the following:
Post an apology for trying to make a living, paying your bills and putting food on the table for your family and maybe trying to put a couple of bucks away for your retirement years. You know there won't be any social security money left by the time you retire. Us baby-boomers are going to get all of it!

Next, you need to send everyone that has posted a negative comment a free part and of course you need to absorb the shipping costs and by the way, make sure all parts are shipped in new boxes, wouldn't want anyone to think you are so cheap that you would use a used box.

Once you do these 2 things I think the bashing will end.
