The Real Michael Ross Yates

I on occasion reference the vile, evil things that people say or send to me. Here is an example of some of an unprovoked attack I received last night from someone I haven’t spoken to in all of 2013 and hasn’t been a blip on my radar since I had to bribe him $400 to move off my couch where he established residency after stating he would only be on my couch for a few weeks at most.

Oh and here’s the takeaway line from the entire email he sent me regarding Michael’s character:

“you (Nick Starr) are … the only person I know who deserve to die a horrible, slow death”

Here is a synopsis of the email I received from Michael Ross Yates yesterday. His statements are in italics.

“you are a horrible piece of shit little bitch.” 

I’m actually a human and not excrement nor a female dog.

“You … prey on young guys, going around and sleeping with them unprotected to purposefully infect them with YOUR disease.”

Michael lived on my couch for 2 months. In that time I only slept with 1 person, my current boyfriend / partner. We’ve never had unprotected sex.  I have a huge stockpile of condoms in a nightstand next my bed, on the window next to my old bed, and even a stash in the living room under the couch just in case anything happens. I don’t have unprotected sex. I also have never nor would ever have sex with anyone under the age of 18.

This statement from Michael Ross Yates is under Washington Law defamation and libel and holds no merit.

In Washington State, when someone makes a false statement to another person and this causes harm to that person’s reputation and good name, the law calls this “defamation.” There are two types of defamation, slander (spoken) and libel (written).

Michael on the other hand when he lived with me in early 2012 would bring home a different young boy on multiple days of the week. I saw him skyping with young MINOR boys under the age of 18, an action which he bragged about. He also bragged to myself and others in my presence about a relationship with a 16 year old MINOR he previously had when he was legally an adult. He would even take screen shots of his Skype sessions with minors on my iPad, but I choose not to post them at this time to protect the identity of the minors which he potentially victimized. The photos are clothed, but show his pattern of predatory behavior.

“Brian (my boyfriend) is only with you because of your money. … there is no person on this earth that would want such a … little whining bitch as their boyfriend, or even to associate with you.”

While I am doing better than I ever have financially  there are millions of people who make more than I do. I don’t own a car, I don’t own a house, I don’t even have my student loans paid off. So what money? The second part of Michael Ross Yates statement is obviously proven false … I mean look at my relationship status on Facebook.

“You … are just a sad little husk of a man, who in a few years will die and not be missed. No one … will come to your funeral, and the world, in my opinion, will be a much better place without a scar like you to infect it. So, enjoy the shitty life … that you have left. Because out of all of the people with HIV, you are … the only person I know who deserve to die a horrible, slow death from it.”

I think that last statement stands on its own showing his character, his true nature, and what type of vile, despicable, human he is.

2 notes: The items omitted by ellipsis primarily are Michael repeatedly writing “in my opinion” in some apparent desire to avoid a lawsuit. Secondly, my statements all are solely in my opinion based on this email from Michael Ross Yates and experiences with this person.

Oh here is a post on Facebook he made about me as well:

“…Nick Star is a piece of shit little bitch. He’s a snooty, stuck up ugly cop calling little pussy. Any stupid rumor you hear is a load of crock from him. He’s rude, inconsiderate, ugly, selfish and completely self centered. If you say his name 3 times he’ll appear, and you don’t need that blairwitch bitch showing up, trust me. He needs to get a life, and stop spreading crap about other people. He’s two faced and not worth anyone’s time. “

Oh … one last thing. The first night Michael Ross Yates stayed at my place back in early 2012 he came home late in the night and threw up all over my living room. Classy!

Update: WOW. You should also do a name search on the Washington Courts website. Michael Ross Yates is in there a LOT!!!

Tim McFarlane – Gay Suicide Advocate

Was sent this comment today by Tim McFarlane on a thread which was discussing me on Facebook. Given my past history with mental illness and suicidal ideation, this person Tim McFarlane is advocating that I commit suicide. Just another reason why it doesn’t ever get better… Evil people like this are reasons why it only gets worse.

Later on after being told that his comment was reported (to me) he felt the need to reiterate his hate filled comments:

Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Why There Won’t Be An iPad Mini

Last week Apple released their entire new line up of iPhones and iPods. They have an iPod at every price point from $49 – $399. The new  iPod touch 5th Generation (4″ model) won’t be out till next month and STARTS at $299. The 4th generation model is still $199.

A Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HD start at $199. This is the same price as the OLDER iPod touch. Apple wouldn’t dare cannibalize the sales of their “most popular iPod ever”, the iPod touch, by coming in the market with a product bigger, faster, better, and cheaper or the same price. It just doesn’t make smart business sense to sell a product with a 7″ or 7.9″ display size (two of the rumored screen sizes) for the same price as their 3.5″ or 4″ devices.

What about a $399 iPad Mini? That is only$100 less than the full sized, fully functional iPad, and if you get a refurbished iPad from Apple with the same 1 year warranty, it would cut the difference in price by only $50.

Therefore for those holding their breath for October or later for an iPad mini, I hope you don’t end up looking blue in the face like Violet Beauregarde. Not saying that in the future we won’t see an iPad mini, but I just don’t see it in the foreseeable future.

 

Update: Oops guess I was wrong.

Brian Tyler Boydston

Last night I found out that a friend of mine killed himself after he was bullied for being gay. Brian Tyler Boydston and I started talking on Twitter, and eventually became friends off of just social networks. We would call and talk and text each other when we just wanted to chat.

With high college course load and social life we lost touch but still would send each other the occasional text or message.

Last night I found out that he killed himself after being bullied for being gay.

My thoughts go out to his friends and family.

It is horrible that there are people out there who would drive a person to such an act… People like Matt Lederer and Chris Mallgren need to be stopped! They suggest that gay people kill them self! Their words are hateful and evil. No one should ever feel the need to kill them self, let alone have people like Matt Lederer and Chris Mallgren telling them directly that they should commit suicide.

Please stop spreading hated! It is supposed to get better, but when people are telling you that you should kill yourself, how does it get better? These people need to be stopped!

Matt Lederer – Gay Suicide Advocate – ItGetsWorse

Matt Lederer is a textbook example of why gay teens are committing suicide…his actions are bullying and unprovoked. He has recently been lashing out against me on his Facebook account (Matt Lederer). I have never said a mean word about him. We were “friends” on Facebook and had communicated on various other social platforms up until the point where Matt Lederer suggested that I, an openly gay man, should jump off a bridge and kill myself after he was emailing my employer thus threatening my livelihood because of an issue with an issue regarding someone else who has also publicly and privately spread vile and hatred about me for MONTHS.

I just want to put this information out there to show others the real Matt Lederer. He is by others definition, not my own, a bully. His attacks are mean spirited, uncalled for, unprovoked, unwarranted, and hurtful.

So for everyone saying, “It gets better” as you get older and grow up, just know that there are bullies out there who will attack you for no good reason other than to feed their own ego.

Matt Lederer is one such person. “Some men aren’t looking for anything logical, like money. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.”

Update: It would seem as if Chris Mallgren also advocates gay people committing suicide. His actions and comments are hurtful, hateful, and a person who would dare suggest a person, gay or not, kill themselves has nothing but evil and hatred in them.

One Year Seattleversary

It was one year ago … this very minute that I checked into my new home in Seattle, Washington. I lived in San Francisco for 3 years, 7 months, 9 days after moving there on September 22, 2007.

I’m glad that I moved to Seattle, and have enjoyed my time here. I am now back working full time for a major internet company making more than I ever have, am busy nearly every night with events with friends, and even host a weekly party at my place where my friends and I get together for drinks and sometimes games. I even experienced snow for the first time in my life!

I also have a TON more space than any place I lived while in San Francisco, and for the first time since living in Florida have my own bathroom! … I even have my own home bar that I’ve started as a pet project that I’m really enjoying…and in the next day or so, it will even show up on Google Maps!

I am so thankful for all my friends and opportunities moving to a new city has afforded me. In moving here I planned to be here for 10 years, then hopefully back to San Francisco or who knows where… so here’s to one amazing year down… 9 more to go!

To my friends and loved ones…

After the past week’s events I’de like to say a few words and then wish to not discuss this any further.  Also, this post only has a limited shelf life … it will be removed when it is appropriate.

I’d venture to say that for the first time in a long time, I’ve gained a strong group of friends for my short time in Seattle. While the group might not be humongous in size, I can say that I am happy to have them around me and in my life. I apologize for my behavior of late and have been voluntarily seeking professional help and will continue to. I am looking forward to reconnecting with my friends and making new friends. It’s been tough but I do appreciate all the support.

If you or I want to have a friendship or discussion I’d be welcome to that and hope that you would as well.

I apologize for any heartache or stress I might’ve caused anyone this past week. There were obviously scenarios beyond my control where I wasn’t able to communicate in a digital method, and getting anything out until now has been almost impossible.

Thank you again for listening,

Nick Starr

P.S. I’m loyal to a fault… I would do anything for those in my life I consider friends… Ask anyone who I consider a true friend and they can cite many times that I’ve gone out of my way to help them out… even sometimes when I didn’t want to. I’m actually a nice guy… and to those who have gotten to know the real me not the “Nick Starr” you read about online … know that I’m actually not evil…daresay a good person.
