I can't speak for glutes, but I can speak for myself.

 

I might like Benjamin if I ever hired him. But before I had a chance, I read some of the blind items in his blogs. I am talking about blind items about escorts, particularly those that were vicious and general enough so that several escorts in New York may have been the target. There was one that seemed to target Rick in New York, until Benhamin finally clarified the situation. The same thing happened to a well-known young escort in LA who no longer is in the escort business.

 

I am pleased that you like Benjamin, and continue to hire him. But, you seem totally unable to understand why others may not like him for good reasons. I am not jealous of anyone (and that is likely true of everyone who dislikes Benjamin Nicholas). I have read post after post from you defending Nicholas over the years, all are emotional and brief. One thing I have not read is a good defense of his use of blind items in his blog about escorts who were currently escorting when his blog was published on the Internet. The ball is in your court, Kmem. I have made some serious charges, and named names when I could. I expect a serious reply.

I'll jump at it. I know that what B has done in the past and what he's doing now are two different things. He's not going the gossip route now, just seeming to keep a basic place on the web. I honestly miss his old stuff, but know that he got sick of the game, keeping up with who's doing what and all that. Privately, the conversations we have lead to me to believe that he's no less passionate about a lot of the wrong doings in this business, but knows he can't fix them through fifteen minutes.

 

You might not like the character that he creates on the web, but that doesn't mean who he is as a person is lacking. Has he made mistakes? Haven't we all. As an escort and human being, he's one of my favorite.

[instudiocity]

I hired that sweet young escort in LA. He never called me to say he was POZ. The only way I knew was reading 15mm. I can't be upset about what I've read in a gossip item on a blog when it's the only way I knew that I'd been exposed to the bug.

I don't get it, Glutes. Is this really a photo of BN? If so, when was it taken? Just curious about back-story on this pic...never seen it before. Thanks.

[indespair]

That positive escort is back under new name in Los Angeles. I remember seeing his ad a couple of months ago, not sure if its still up.

There is no need to defend blind items in a blog. It is a blog aka opinion piece. However, were any of those folks that you THINK were being written about guilty of any thing? Some posters today seem to think so. Personally, I am not asking anyone to like or dislike BN, merely pointing out what I believe to be facts AND my own opinion. You are free to not read any of my opinions.

 

None of us seem to ever be in complete possession of all the facts involving any particular situation and we all too often jump to conclusions. Sometimes just to stir up trouble, other times because of ignorance; all just part of being people.

People who have responded so far to BN's blind items question have mentioned the few where escorts could easily be identified. There were other BIs that could have easily applied to several different escorts, particularly the one that seemed to point to Rick. The blog may be an opinion piece, but the BIs usually concentrated on other escorts who are, of course, in competition with Ben for clients. Since BN seems to have many satisfied clients, my guess is the BIs were a misguided combination of public service announcements and a way to get more people to read his blog.

 

Since my earlier post concerned only BIs in his blog (and Rick's angry response on this site), available for all to read on the Internet, it's disingenous to suggest that I am posting out of ignorance, or trying to stir the pot. I was a member of the site when the BIs were posted by Mr. Nicholas (and long before).

 

As to my freedom to not read your posts/opinion, comments like that are made when a person has run out of any thing else to write. I expected a more thoughtful response.

Do you know the HIV status of all your sexual partners?

Sorry to disappoint you. I have plenty to say but I find your "accusations" disingenuous. Were the names of these escorts mentioned on the blog? As you just posted, "the few where escorts could easily be identified". That, of course, is also just an opinion. While you are a part of "we" in the general sense, I don't believe I suggested that you in particular were ignorant. In fact, I was thinking of gloats and his last post on this thread at the time of that remark. Neither he nor you have ever met BN or me, so you are both speculating, perhaps wildly speculating as to the truth of whatever you happen to think.

 

Who are you defending and who are you attacking and why? I am responding to you as a matter of courtesy but whatever your point may be is so far elluding me, other than what I have written.

[josephga]

What I don't get is how does reading an escorts hiv poz on a blog make it true? Or anything said on a blog. Blogs are opinions not facts.

[KMEM]

You got my point, Joseph. Thanks.

Can we stop with the scorn of Ben please?

 

I have done 'due diligence' on Ben, and I still want matrimony - warts and all!

 

Plagiarism: no big deal, lots of people do it, and he appropriately apologized from the heart.

 

15Minutes blog: yes Ben does talk just about himself and his first class travels, but it is his blog to promote himself. And so what if he exposes a competitors HIV status or criminal record, he is doing us a public service. Good for you Ben! Josephga, you should believe the blog, minus the Barry & Borowitz bits.

 

Talking about clients to other clients: so what is a little pillow talk? I am sure after we are wed I will find out alot of unscrupulous doings by former clients, trust that my lips will be sealed.

 

Noah Driver relationship: now this one I have not figured out. Can someone help me out please?

[josephga]

My comment wasn't a scorn on BN and his blog but on blogs in general. I don't understand the whole Plagiarism either however iv never hired an escort b4 I was under the impression that all that matter was how good the escort looked and what they do for you in bed lol If I did hire wouldn't care about their Plagiarisms, their politics or the religious beliefs. I put his blog in the same box as tmz, perez hilton, And other blogger alike. It's entertainment and his opinion. Its not facts. Just because a blogger posts someone as poz doesn't make it true. I don't view his nor any blogger as a public service..

Since I have kept my remarks focused on what BN has written in his blog, I am not sure why meeting him, or not meeting him is relevant in any way. I am defending the escorts who are obvious in his blind items, and those whom people have to guess about. I am attaching Ben Nicholas. Why? Here's the reasons:

 

1. Do doctors, lawyer, machinists, factory workers et al write blogs with blind items on the Internet about other doctors, lawyers, machinists, factory workers et al.? I am sure some do. If those BIs threaten a colleague's reputation or source of income, that's a big issue for me. The same applies to escorts, and BN's BIs about other escorts in his blog.

 

2. Your attitude seems to be that BN doesn't write BIs any more, so what's the issue?

 

Finally, there's no reason (as far as I am concerned) to respond to me as a courtesy. I believe you have a blind spot on anything related to BN, which is based on reading many of your posts defending him over the last years. (I also understand that you may know his good and not-so-good points well & want to keep the latter to yourself.)

 

Perhaps I have not been clear in making my points. If so, again you should feel free to not respond. Either way I hope that we can continue to co-exist here with mutual respect. Because believe it or not, I do respect you quite a bit.

Obvious or not, I still don't think you know who they might be, again, you are speculating. I have not and did not say BN was or was not writing blind items any longer, that was another poster. I would dare to offer that doctors, lawyers and others might do us all a service if they were to frankly discuss their colleagues, good, bad or indifferent. Was BN writing entirely about other escorts OR perhaps persons who had sex with a lot of other folks?

 

No doubt we could continue this discussion for quite a while but I fear we are boring others and I am not sure there are valid points being made or understood, one or the other.

I tried to extend an olive branch to you, however slight. You are not interested.

 

I practically begged you to say any criticism of BN that I may have, I am keeping to myself. It's a policy that I understand, and agree with completely.

 

I am done. You are welcome to the last word, if you want it......which I doubt.

[KMEM]

I am positive that no one is perfect. Of course, I am keeping negative criticism of BN to myself, which may or may not mean I share it with him, but not the public. It isn't my duty or choice to share any such that may exist with the public.

 

What took you so long to understand that?

 

Best regards,

And so what if he exposes a competitors HIV status or criminal record, he is doing us a public service

 

"Information about HIV and AIDS is confidential. You may decide not to keep your information private, but it still is confidential as long as the law protects it.

 

There is a difference between "confidential" and "private."

 

"Private" information is just whatever you don't want someone else to know, though you may not always be able to protect it. And it can change with the circumstances.

 

"Confidential" information is so sensitive, and maybe even damaging, that as a society we have decided to create special protections. Those protections usually are special laws that are created by the state or federal legislature because some particular kind of information is just too important to let it be disclosed recklessly.

 

Examples of confidential information are health and medical information, financial information, and information that can identify a person such as a Social Security number."

Be careful what you wish for ...

[Guest greatness]

oh my Glutes.. How was your Thanksgiving.. I was worried about you since you have been gone for a while. I'm glad that you are ok. Kisses and hugs~~

[Guest Zack]

I never realized that being a part of a forum community could ever lead to so much indifference and hate within it.

 

Whoa!

 

Being an HIV+ "person" and one who has been with, and spent numerous times with Benjamin, I can tell you that he does indeed make you feel like a million bucks.

 

It is, as I have found, a purchased experience, but that was exactly what I was looking for because of my condition.

 

I was looking for a guy to tell me everything which he viewed me as not. That's not to say I was sex-less before this, but I wanted something special. And Benjamin made every aspect of that happen for me.

 

Benjamin is an artist of making you feel young, important and relevant again. And his sexual behaviors, rules and concerns - are non-existent when it comes to this.

 

Should you be looking for such a diversion, I can't think of anyone to fulfill this better than Benjamin Nicholas. His price for all that is seemingly high, but reasonable for the service he delivers. At least it always has been and seemed for me.

[leigh.bess.toad]

Plagiarism: no big deal, lots of people do it, and he appropriately apologized from the heart.

 

Sorry Elmer, but plagarism is a big fucking deal. And this is not concerning BN in particular. But the act of plagarism in and of itself is a big deal. Lots of people don't do it -- that's what makes it a BFD. It is theft -- theft of the intellectual property rights of another -- stealing that which belongs to someone else, no different than stealing their money or belongings. It also shows a level of mental sloth. Fucking the living shit out of guys for a living isn't a deadly sin. but sloth is. Now acts of plagarism in and of themselves would not be a decision factor in my decision to hire anyone in particular. However, dear God, don't minimize or trivlialize a serious offense of plagarism. A person who commits such an act of moral turpitude deserves all th opprobrium that can be heaped upon them.

 

 

Now this for me is a deal breaker. One reason I am paying someone big gobs of money is for confideniality. I don't care if they are telling other clients that I'm the best damned lay in the entire world (I am but that's another thread ), I am paying them big money to KEEP THEIR FUCKING MOUTH SHUT. The only time they may discuss me with anyone is if I violate the terms of that contract by now paying for services rendered if I present a clear physical or emotinoal danger to others. Other than that, the escort has one one job; KEEP YOUR FUCKING MOUTH SHUT!

 

Agsin, this comment is not specifically directed to BN. I don't know and actually don't care if this applies to him since I probalby wouldn't hire him because he is not my physical type I normally look for. But in general, these comments apply to every escort out there.
