There's always a second side to every story. I like to give the OPs I don't know the benefit of any doubt, but that doesn't mean the OP is always telling the whole truth. I no longer read Daddy's forum. I seldom if ever visited his Politics page. So I can't speak to anyone's "truth" on this one.

Considering that Daddy is one of the worst writers in the gay community, that's actually very funny. And sad.

That's a no no. Daddy has no tolerance for anyone being openly critical of his financial status. His nerves are near the surface around every Christmas. We old timers remember how much angst he went through before he allowed someone to announce the board's accepting of donations. If I remember correctly, the sentiment went something like this: "Daddy is a proud man, who would never consider asking anyone for money." I have no idea who was writing the stuff, but it all was poorly written, explained, and executed. Bad Business 101.

Yet, he's trying to keep a poorly run, gay escort review site alive. He's lucky he can count on a small group of gay guys who for some reason feel the need to donate and remain supportive. I guess the whole thing has aspects to it that make some people feel better about themselves in some way. You get the leader you deserve. They can have him. He does nothing for me.

That would be very funny if someone could prove it to be true. I'm smart enough to not trust the listings. I'm dubious of people who long for donating credit in public. If BN is donating, BN strikes me as a man who would want to be silent about it. If I were donating, that's the way I would want it.

 

You clearly don't know BN very well, based only on his public comments in 15Mimutes and now on the other site.

Thank you. Means a lot. Truly.

We bitch with one another a fair bit here over various issues of personal importance, but honesty of intent and a desire to truly communicate and understand are almost always the goals.

Plenty of individual personality may be exposed in the process!  But we are who we are, here.

A refreshing difference.

P.S. Or, maybe, not so much of one.

My concern about Benjamin goes back to when he published blind items that may have involved guys still working then, specifically Scott Adler. 

 

I am not sure about BN and Daddy.

A very real and well documented transgression. Shameless.

And not the only one of such. He also published scurrilous rubbish about the ‘former escort couple’ then (2005) working out of LA.

 

The only thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about. BN knows his Oscar Wilde.

Agree.  I was surprised also. Very surprised, in fact.

Sorry, I don't know anyone who does that. Are your words a riddle? If so, it's not clear to me what your intent is. You seem to enjoy manipulating and creating drama with few words, and the attention that can come with that. That's fine, but without care and caution, you put your credibility at risk. 99.9% of members here respect Oz's wishes that writing "endlessly" about the other site should be discouraged. So, again, I'm not sure what your motive is or whether it's honest.

Time will tell. However, you did create this thread.

Not all time-outs last 30 days over there. I know from my own tenured experience. Daddy and co. will never admit it, but they enjoy being arbitrary, pretending to be fair and equal. These "rules" are never set in stone. I can also tell you this from experience: Daddy delivers a long leash to troublemakers. I put that leash through some serious tests. And he's known for not holding grudges. He will SNAP when you push him too far. But for the most part, he seems to enjoy forgiving his fellow gays when they misbehave, especially escorts. After much drama and serious betrayal, he allowed Rick Munroe back on the site. Given what took place, I never thought I'd see that happen. But it happened. Numerous people in the escort community know this about Daddy's character. Perhaps that is the reason why many remain loyal.

My last log-in was Jan 2013. By nature, I'm a selective reader. My time on forums is limited. It is rare for me to visit Daddy's site, but I do communicate with some of its members.

Adam and I go way back. I enjoy reading his posts. But I don't agree with his opinion of BN. I come from the world of show business, so my perspective is what it is.

 

Fine. Mr. Nicholas is all show business, especially with his manipulation of his blog including plagiarised quotes and  blind items about other escorts.

Hot and sexy doesn't necessarily mean saintly. Please, show me a gay escort (or a gay man) who doesn't love a juicy bit of gossip. Also, almost all words in life are borrowed from someone who said them many times before. It's true, the hotter you are, the easier it is to have your faults forgiven. Nobody ever said life was fair.

Good for you if you want to be identified with someone who posted "blind" items about other escorts. Your choice.

Are you suggesting that Benjamin didn't  "copy"  other sources to  his blog. I have read the long  post by Doug69 and Rick Munroe on the other site. I have never hired Rick, but we are friends.

If I remember correctly Doug and Rick left no room for Nicholas to plead not guilty.

You have waded through many insults, mostly laughable. Now you are supposedly giving up. 

Betty Buckley said it best while reminiscing about the late, great Jerry Herman:

"…joy is a choice. It’s not something you wait to happen to you. You choose it, and you work really hard to sustain that…"

I truly feel sorry for the gay men in this world who live to be joyless.

Didn't Merman and Martin both turn down "Hello, Dolly." Although Ethel did play Dolly on Broadway.  Mary played Dolly all over the world, including Japan, Vietnam (in 1965) and London.

I myself saw the Boston tryout of "Funny Girl" instead of "Hello Dolly."
