  • Is a generic name given when someone leaves

    Benedict Arnold was a no-good, dirty, rotten, traitor who deflected during the Revolutionary War.

    Ooh... you mean here on answerMug? That's the account name that becomes associated with content when someone closes their account or gets deleted by an admin. Sure, we could just call them "deleted members" or "former members," but where's the fun in that?

    If you'd like to read more about the traitor, feel free to browse the Wikipedia page about him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedict_Arnold  

    You can't click to see the accounts because the accounts no longer exist. Unless the content, itself, somehow identifies the poster, there's no way to tell who wrote it anymore.

    Or she!! I have been a Benedict Arnold... I was very, very hurt by some things on here that I felt were undeserved... and because I was so upset I decided to leave... However, there are good people on here and some good aspects of being on here as opposed to other sites so I rejoined and fortunately was allowed back.
