UGH! More tales of sociopathic plagiarists. The problem with much of the blogosphere is that narcissists and people with delusions of grandeur are flouncing all over the digital airwaves. Ben Nichols is just another example of the loss of social conscience, the lack of integrity, and the love affair with being a cheat and a fraud. Surprise, Ben! Someone will always find you out if you keep at way too long.

And if you want a real laugh: read Nicholas’ treacly and disingenuous apology for his “mistake.” “I am not a monster and never wanted to be a thief.” Butcha are, Benjy, butcha are!http://www.benjaminnicholas.com/blogger.html

I think Ben’s been through quite enough for his mistake. Time to let it go, let him move forward and continue to work on his craft. He’s actually an incredibly good writer who obviously got lazy. Wrong as it is, it doesn’t take away from the fact that he’s got real talent.
