Rick Olney--Fibber or Mega-Giganta-Fibber?

[Samuel Catalino]

Freelancing, heh.

R.O. is a freelancing leech for sure, Reverend.

Samuel

[Reverend Smooth]

A book about a gryphon. Don't give him any ideas, he's already way too into whale fluids.

Don't give him any ideas, he's already way too into whale fluids.

Reverend,

They are not whale fluids.

Best,

[TonyIsabella]

Niiiiiiiiiiice. A person with a history of admitted medical problems and this is how he treats someone in a bad way.

Ignore it. I will live to dance and piss on his grave...and many more good and productive years after that.

He doesn't know a fraction of what I've lived through, including facing down a scared kid with a gun in the aftermath of a drug house raid.

He's not just impotent, he's ridiculously impotent.

Yeah, I've had my bad breaks, professionally and medically. But I'm still here and still working to warn people about him.

You lose, Rick. You will always lose.

I swear to God Tony I wish I had your strength sometimes. :) (okay most times)

You rock.

[KJ_81]

And there are two things that Tony (and everyone else wronged here) have, that Rick will never have: respect and dignity.
They are worth their weight in gold.

Well, there is also talent, a sense of humore, discipline, inteliigence and a kick ass mustache.

Got news for you, I'll sell plenty of
books off the website and via Previews. No worries. You soooo over
rate yourselves, though.

So now he is selling through Diamond, when he previously said he wouldn't be and would make more money by ignoring them?

re: Pictures of Sam's studio

Is anyone else as creeped out as I am over Moby being graciously invited to a person's home, sneaking around while Sam isn't looking and serruptitiously snapping pictures? Even worse, that he saved those pictures for some future unspecified 'purpose'? Deep Throat you ain't, Moby; where's the pictures of Sam's medicine chest? His laundry basket? The garbage cans outside?

What kills me is the fact that those pictures of one single room are being made out to be representative of Sam's entire house. What were you expecting, the Waldorf Astoria? It's a house, someone's home, their private sanctuary where you were allowed free accommodations for 10 days. I'm sure Sam must have apologized profusely for neglecting the mints on your pillows.

So Sam was holding you 'prisoner'? If I remember correctly, Sam gave you a fecking key for the times he was at work; sounds more like the Holiday Inn than Stalag 13. Unless, of course, you haven't uploaded the photos of the chains and shackles and posted sentries around the Catalino Compound.

What an ungrateful prick. I didn't say one damn word against that Bates Motel you chose at the last minute for your prisoners -- sorry, 'guests' of the 2003 MMC, despite the fact that your dropped a huge group of what boiled down to tourists in the middle of nowhere, with no directions and no transport; the nearest place to grab a bite was a 20 minute walk to either a local pizza/sub joint or a convenience store. Oh, and the sights were such a wonder to behold.

On top of your mounting list of 'discretions', you can proudly wear the badge of 'Lack of Gratitude'.

re: July's issue of YABSBLABS

You'll soon be celebrating the third year of non-publication of TotS and the second anniversary of suspending the TLE line. FRESH hasn't seen print in 7+ years. Fours months and the first Mohawk Valley Comics Newsletter can't even gather a mailing list. And you're advertising a July publication date for a new book?

That's stones!

What're you gonna do, give your side of the story in a tell-all expose? Don't you do that everywhere you go already? You've only got a couple weeks to complete the necessary set-up to publish a book for July shipping, and that's assuming you have a printer lined up. Why not list a few of those 'finer retail spots' you have lined up? I'm sure they're simply clamoring for your voice in all this; I mean, you've continued to 'handle yourself with such 'elegance, grace and [chosen] your words with care' during all this. You are such the epitome of composure.

Besides, don't you actually have to have read a book before you can write one?

[Sarah Beach]

So now he is selling through Diamond, when he previously said he wouldn't be and would make more money by ignoring them?

He goes for the lie that is most convenient and "impressive" today, don't you know?

What gets me, is that he ignores the fact that Diamond & Previews are not really faceless entities that will just absorb any crap he feeds them. Real people are involved, who interact with the creators in the business, who actually talk with people. If he thinks that all the bad news attached to his own name hasn't or won't come to their attention, he's deluding himself.

I mean, face it, if he tried to submit anything to them at a time when he was known to have not paid writers & artists, at a time when he has several court judgements against him, he's not going to get that much of a favorable response.

But, oh! I forgot.... he's got that magic ability of making things SO, just by saying it!




Okay... I can't type that without sniggering. Heh.

[Sarah Beach]

Oh, DocA! Surely you realize that he isn't talking about hard copy with that "next issue" stuff! Isn't that passe? He's cutting edge, don't you know. It's a CYBER issue! Of course, it's going to take him a month to prepare it, though -- he's going to work hard: he has to look up all the big words. Of course, since he doesn't know how to spell them, it'll be interesting to see what he comes up with.

But he'll show us all! He'll recant his side of the producings! He'll prove that he's more creationally diverse than that token writer Tamryn and that show-off attention hound James Owen and that crippled crumbcatcher Tony Isabella! Just you wait till after the true believers of ORCA return to the fold for a glorious reuniting! After their fun Mighty Mini Con, they will go back into the world at large and spread how wonderful his future plans are! Word of mouth, don't you know! His cohurts will carry to their local shops news and information about his terrific book Devil-Bug! They will generate demand for the book, and it will roll out with thousands and thousands of copies in sales! Just you wait! As soon as his leaggle team tell him all the chips are in a row, he'll dizzle us all!

*****
:p :p Yuck. Trying to write like him is too much of a strain!

[Charles RB]

You'll soon be celebrating the third year of non-publication of TotS and the second anniversary of suspending the TLE line.

Seriously been that long?

And he's still trying to act like he'll be bringing titles out?! Does even he know how stupid that sounds?

Doc,

Just to set a few things straight....I never gave that "gentleman" a key to my home being that he did not have any transportation. So there was no need for him to have a key. Of course, I do have an alarm in my home and he does not have the code to that either.

As I have stated before, I did not give that "gentleman" any approval to take pictures of my home, nor was I aware of their existence until he mentioned it as leverage to un nerve me. It did not work. Of course, I do reserve the right at some future date to pursue legal remedies with him, if I find it necessary. Harassment is not legal even up there in New York, and unlike some on this thread, my methods of legal redress would differ from fellow posters who have been wounded by this "gentleman."

I do appreciate your kind comments though, Doc.

Best,

Samuel

[Gail Simone]

Honestly, I do not know of anything. As much as I am disgusted by his behavior especially toward many people with non-payment as his abusive nature toward many others, I can not and will descend to his level of accusing people of things they are not. Even with him. Unlike R.O., the truth counts.

Nothing was missing from my home and he did nothing amiss (that I am aware of) while he was in my house. It is kind of interesting that he felt the need to take these pictures, though. Heck, the wildlife outside (a gator in the pond) would have been far more interesting.

Thanks for your kind comments.

Best,

Samuel


Samuel, personally, I don't even get what he's going for. Is this supposed to be clutter? Sheesh, it looks pretty organized to me.

We've seen what a mess Rick makes of everything he touches, he's an utter failure as a businessman in every capacity. I'd say he's missed the target again.

Gail

[TomStillwell]

It takes upwards of six months to even HEAR BACK from Diamond on whether or not you're even IN previews.

They were back to me in less than a month. I was kind of surprised.


You've only got a couple weeks to complete the necessary set-up to publish a book for July shipping, and that's assuming you have a printer lined up.

Wait, he's not saying he'll have a book in July's Previews is he? How moronic.

Friday I was e-mailed by my new Diamond contact. He wanted to know if I was going to solicit Honor Brigade #5 in the July Previews.

I hadn't planned on it since I knew we'd never have it to the printer in time for them to prep, print, and ship hundreds of copies to Diamond. It's always better to never to make a committment you can't keep. Take note, Rick.

My contact understood. Out the new books he inherited from my old contact he really liked Honor Brigade and wanted to make sure it was in Previews. That was a relief for me, since I wasn't sure what changing contacts would mean.

July Preview books ship in September. So Rick is claiming that he'll have a book completed, printed, and shipped to Diamond by the end of August. And that includes paying the printer in full before they ship.

Any of the small press folks here that Rick likes to insult so much could accomplish this if pressed. Olney? He's lucky his brain functions enough to keep him breathing.

Sure you do, that's why you constantly plead poverty to people you've cheated and as the reason you can't attend cons any more. I'm sure you're keeping it in the Van of Justice. That's why you were rejected for a loan for 'finishing touches' on your con, that's why your credit card was rejected for a 70 dollar hotel room.

Sure you do.


And this is one of the lowest things I've ever read, and when dealing with a useless deadbeat like you, that's saying a lot.

But again, Tony is something, you're absolutely nothing.

Well, let's check his track record of achievements, shall we?

He...uh...

no comics ever

cancelled more conventions than most people attend in a lifetime...umm...

all his artists despise him, cheated everyone he worked with...uh...

Nope. He's screwed.

Gail,

I honestly think he was trying to get me worked up over the "violation of my home" with these pictures, but he should know me better.

Unfortunately, this "gentleman" is letting a lot of this stuff get to him and I suspect if he continues to get himself worked up (between his paranoia and his attack tactics) over trying to even the score, I imagine we will be reading that he had a massive coronary before too long. Certainly this constant stress is not doing his health any favors.

As for his business like tactics, they had to be learned some where. From my contacts up there in his neck of the woods, he had a close relative who owned a vacuum cleaner shop and these people met with this relative of his and believed that this merchant was a bit shady, if you catch my drift.

Like a child starved for attention, he continues these antics.

I do appreciate your kind comments though Gail.

Best,

Samuel

Dennis did imply that Rick had gotten a lot more out of touch with reality lately.

Maybe this is just my wishful thinking on his part. He'd love for people to be afraid of him, but sweetie, PLEASE.

It'd be like being afraid of your pathetic uncle who drinks too much and never changes his stained shirt and has never accomplished anything in his life.

Damn, but you are pathetic. You do realize that having "Sharon" use the word "troll" says 'Rick 'Olney' almost as much as an IOU?
Watch me email Jim Main!
YOU LOSE, RICK!

Here are pictures of this "Matt Martin" person. Decide for yourself, is he a doofus?




Or this next basic harassment email, one of many, from a person describing himself as a well known children's book writer and publisher, film maker on the horizon, sort of fellow. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you James Owen. Yeah,THIS James Owen. How does that man find so much time to jerk around on the Internet?

1) Ooohhh.... chilling. you linked to PUBLICLY AVAIILABLE photos of me.
2) Heh. Blaming Ronee for his not 'hiring' Holly. Someone should ask her to post any communications from you, Rick.
3) Not everyone is a sock puppet, Rickie. Go ahead and sue me, and make sure you state in the complaint that Susanna and Carlos are made up characters. That way you look MORE STUPID when they show up at the deposition.
4) So, you're going to point people who interact with ORCA away from buying my books? Oh well. We'll just have to go into a SEVENTH HARDCOVER PRINTING without counting on selling those other seven copies.
5) Any librarians and/or teachers that you interact with? Spare me. I get paid just to speak at library conferences. I'd be surprised if you KNEW any teachers or librarians. And if you did - you can't name them.
You are a weak and cowardly man, Rick. And utterly, utterly, impotent.

QUICK! EVERYONE RUN FOR COVER! HIS HEAD'S GONNA EXPLODE!

But seriously folks, what has my ongoing legal matters have to do with either of these *ahem* men?

Answer: Nothing. Just as any smart person shouldn't feed wild animals;Join the group of people in comics that know a doofus when they see one!

Its hilarious.
He really thinks his opinion means anything to anyone in the World, LMAOBBQROFLCOUGHHAHA

[Magneto_X]

First, Olney would try to sleep with the purple-skinned woman and offer her an apartment in glorious Mohawk, NJ.

Then he'd say it didn't happen, and that she was trying to intimidate by persuasion.

Then he'd get drunk and pass out.

(I love being told that I attempted "intimidation by persuasion." "You-- you- you tried to win me over with a persuasive offer! IN-TIM-I-DA-TION, my good man!!!')

That's not purple skin. It looks like a costume.

Is it Huntress'? It looks like it to me. Only her old school costume.

I don't have to tell you what Helena would do to Olney if she met him, right? ;)

Neighbor, Gail. Neighbor. I wouldn't want to believe that anyone here (even those with "problem families") has had a relative as vile as Olney.

[Danny Donovan]

They were back to me in less than a month. I was kind of surprised.

Well I said "up to six months." I believe it's what's listed on their turn around time on accepting/declining a product. It's not always six months, it took them about a month and a half to turn down the iHero product.

I think (at least when I last looked at their guidelines over a year ago) it had 3 to 6 months to hear a reply..

I dunno if things have changed now or not.

But yeah they can get to you quickly sometimes.... It's a crapshoot. :p

explains a lot for the state of the biz though don't it? lol.

I bet Rick wet himself as he wrote that, though.

Couldn't that be perceived as a death threat, James?

[Coppervale Studio]

Rick seems fond of amassing pictures of those who oppose him. Well, here's another one for you, Rick. You moron:

http://pics.livejournal.com/coppervale/pic/0002k1x1

I was an exhibitor at one of the first San Diego Trade Shows, held prior to the San Diego Comic Con, more than twenty years ago. I was publishing art prints, and my first comic book, which was distributed by (among many others) Diamond. My relationship with them goes back TWO DECADES. And at the time, I wasn't even old enough for a driver's license.

You're in your fifties, and have been talking about publishing comics for a decade without ever actually making it happen. Saying you're 'going to' doesn't count if you NEVER DO ANYTHING, dumbass.

Tony,

glad to read you are feeling better.

Oh, how I wish peanut would approach some folks in a crowd attempt to "handle things himself"

after the horrid things he's said about women, gays, certain folk's health, certain folk's family members passing? ?

wow. . he would draw a crowd -- so we could watch him get his ass kicked, and then we could spit on him while he was down.

I'd even pull my dick out and piss on him (that's not a threat, just a promise), after all, he showed us that he is a toilet.

please come to Dragon*con peanut. . I wanna watch the fun.

My dad was the photographer. He was a shutterbug. I believe this was about the time that I was told by my parents that if a stranger ever asked my name, I was to answer "Picturesque".

I'm much taller now, of course. But my hair still gets blow-away like that, being very fine.

[MacQuarrie]

I think we should all plan on going to the Syracuse show. Then we can hire a bus and drive over to Mohawk, park in front of the converted funeral home, point, laugh, then knock on the door and say hi to Ricky. Maybe pose for pictures.

It'll be fun.

They are. People are joining UNSCREWED every day, submitting auction items, signing the warning letter, offering to contribute art and writing for our anthology, or just sending kind words of encouragement and support.

And every time you spew nonsense like this across the front page of the site that's supposed to promote your vapor-convention, you encourage even more people to join us. Thanks!

[DocAbsurd]

Just as any smart person shouldn't feed wild animals;Join the group of people in comics that know a doofus when they see one!

I worked for a firm that edited manuscripts. It was kinda neat, having an office where a group of literate people would read and correct semi-professional and (in many cases) purely amateurish works. We'd often gather during a break and recite some of the horrible passages, stumped for solutions. It wasn't our job to ghost-write, just to offer suggestions.

I can't help but feel the implosion of dozens of literate minds whenever I read a passage like the above.

By the way, lots and lots have joined the group of people in that know a doofus in comics. They're also the same people that know a doofus in convention promotion, know a doofus in comic book 'publishing', know a doofus in a fan-based organization, know a doofus with a terminally-late newsletter, know a doofus with an ever-increasing string of judgments against him.

Oddly enough, it's the same doofus.

Seriously been that long?

And he's still trying to act like he'll be bringing titles out?! Does even he know how stupid that sounds?

Let's see if I can set the track record straight:


2003 was the last 'successful' 2-day MMC, 'successful' being a relative term considering the guests outnumbered the attendees almost 2-to-1
The Spooky has never happened, despite being promoted in 2004, 2005, and 2006
There was some sort of negligibly-attended MMC in 2005
FRESH, the ORCA newsletter, hasn't been published in several years; in fact, I think the last 2 that were handed out had articles about Wizard's new line of comics and Stan Lee's now-defunct publishing venture (which would make it around 2000)
I have no clue when the last meeting of ORCA was
Tales of the Spooky was supposed to have been released in conjunction with the first Spooky show
The MMC website was supposed to have a major relaunch and redesign in 2005
TLE has been announced since the end of spring last year


Now we're waiting anxiously on the release of Debbil-Bug, the MVCN, the re-re-launch of the MMC site, the ought-to-be-forgotten line of TLE and the inevitably-canceled MMC.

Talk about keeping your standards low.

Ah, DocA! You forgot the re-relaunch of ORCA as an organization, including (this time) filing for not-for-profit status.

Oh, Ricky-poo! How's that progressing? Given you drove off a potential patron in Susanna. Have you gotten any takers amongst the ex-ORCAns to show up for your little shindig next month? You know, the private one, near the water-park. How many would that be, besides Dennis?

Heh.

[bluecove]

After watching events unfold over the last several months, I finally see why Rick has reacted so violently to this thread. He actually believes you (we) have ganged up on him unfairly. He actually believes he is justified in using both insults and threats to defend himself. He actually believes he would have succeeded in his ventures if it weren’t for those meddling kids. ;)

Whether this makes him a narcissist, a sociopath, or a borderline personality, I can’t say. It does mean that something isn’t right in the Olney noggin, because it’s not sending out the signals it should. Rick will never admit, or even recognize, the flaws in his thinking, because he can’t. I mean that seriously. He can’t see them, no matter how many times they’re brought to his attention. Instead, he insists his way is best, and blames his failures on everyone and everything else, particularly this thread.

This is the same reason he continues to post rude, disgusting material, directed at the people here, on his various websites. Even after having one of his myspace accounts deleted, after being threatened with the loss of another site, and after being told this practice is negatively affecting his newsletter, he can’t stop, because his brain is not telling him it’s a bad idea. No one on the net is ever going to get through to him; the best we can do is try to stop him from conning anyone else.

If Dennis were any kind of real friend, he’d be persuading Mrs. Olney to get her husband treatment, before his jumbled signals tell him it’s okay to do something more drastic.

[CutterMike]

How can he be out of touch? After all...he has a paralegal now!

Note to Rick: Having a paralegal is NOT the same thing as having two leaggle teams.

Just so you know.

[Samuel Catalino]

I think we should all plan on going to the Syracuse show. Then we can hire a bus and drive over to Mohawk, park in front of the converted funeral home, point, laugh, then knock on the door and say hi to Ricky. Maybe pose for pictures.

It'll be fun.


Mr. MacQuarrie,

Come on now, you know only the good die young. Don't give the people here false hope.

Seriously, it would not surprise me if he did have a massive heart attack.

[CutterMike]

I feel left out with all these nostalgic personal images on the net. So I went looking for something suitable.

http://www.scribblerworks.us/assets/Images/me at three.jpg
That's me at three.

My dad was the photographer. He was a shutterbug. I believe this was about the time that I was told by my parents that if a stranger ever asked my name, I was to answer "Picturesque".

I'm much taller now, of course. But my hair still gets blow-away like that, being very fine.

...A-w-w-w-w-w-w-w...!

[Samuel Catalino]

Until Matt Martin sees that this "gentleman" placed a few pictures he claims to be Matt Martin on his web site....

Ohhh.......

[CutterMike]

First, Olney would try to sleep with the purple-skinned woman and offer her an apartment in glorious Mohawk, NJ.

Then he'd say it didn't happen, and that she was trying to intimidate by persuasion.

Then he'd get drunk and pass out.

(I love being told that I attempted "intimidation by persuasion." "You-- you- you tried to win me over with a persuasive offer! IN-TIM-I-DA-TION, my good man!!!')

Okay - whay do I hear Carly Simon...?

"In-tim-i-da-tion....
"In tim-i-DAY-ay-y-shun-n..."

(...and what *IS* that button pinned to...?!!?)

[CutterMike]

That's not purple skin. It looks like a costume.

Is it Huntress'? It looks like it to me. Only her old school costume.


...wasn't there a female Eclipso...?

[bert]

Until Matt Martin sees that this "gentleman" placed a few pictures he claims to be Matt Martin on his web site....

Ohhh.......

hmm. . .

I honestly think Matt's not gonna care. Those are great pics of him.

so peanut actually was able to, for the first time, I think, show the real pic of the person he's talking about.

a stopped cock is correct at least once or twice

(er. . is that how the saying goes?. . .in peanut's case, that just SOUNDS accurate).

How do you define DOOFUS?

Department of Offensive Operation Focus on Underground Super-hostiles. It's the new sister organisation to SHIELD.


But seriously folks, what has my ongoing legal matters have to do with either of these *ahem* men?

Quite a lot, coz your legal matters are that you owe money to their mates. And, IIRC, at least one of them. (It's getting hard to remember who Olney owes money to, the list's so vast...)

Yay! I finally had a punchline before Mr. Mac!

Quick! Somebody declare a national holiday... Oh, wait.

Never mind...


Hey..! How about organizing a bus-tour from the convention to Herkimer, so we can all point, gawk and laugh, and get our pictures taken on Rick's front lawn?!!?

...although you DID beat me with the "knock on the door and say hi" bit. I was just gonna wait until he stormed out of the house in a ratty bathrobe, yelling, "Hey, you kids - get offa my lawn!"

[Coppervale Studio]

1) The thing about actually KNOWING how to track ISP addresses is that you can tell where people have come from when they view your website.

The ONLY people who went to my Coppervale site from Rick's MMC page are people who have ALREADY SEEN IT via this thread.

The ONLY people reading your page are already HERE, dumbass. And they're on MY SIDE.

2) I was telling an old apprentice of mine a little about this idiot who claims to be the prime mover in everything comics (like being the inspiration for Free Comic Book Day).

He said he's heard stories at work about the same kind of guy - but the guy HE heard about had been claiming to be the inspiration for a character in Star Wars. Even bought the toys made of the character, and claimed it was HIM.

My old apprentice works at Skywalker Ranch.

Coast to Coast, Rick Olney is nothing but a joke.

[Charles RB]

please come to Dragon*con peanut. . I wanna watch the fun.

Does he have to? It's held inside an enclosed area that's crowded; we drop Rick in, the resulting smell will cause a stampede for the exits. Dozens would be killed outright.

Plus, remember, lots of young female cosplayers. Subjecting them to Rick would be horrible.

Oh to said hamburglar


a person describing himself as a well known children's book writer and publisher, film maker on the horizon, sort of fellow. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you James Owen. Yeah,THIS James Owen.

James IS a well known children's book author dumbass. That wasn't a description. It's a fact.

One things for sure, you're definitely king of the whoppers there hamburglar...wait, wait, wrong place.

Get me a cheeseburger. Robble off.

JP

[CutterMike]

It jut hit me - we've been wrong about EVERYTHING!

Rick has had a Master Plan all along, and we're playing RIGHT INTO HIS HANDS!

It's so obvious, now...!

See, what he's doing is; he's holding off on those lawsuits that everyone taunts him about until a few more key players come on board.

Then - at just the right moment - Rick unleashes his lawyers and sues EVERY creator, publisher and distributor in comics, tying them up in depositions and court time and thus keeping them from having time to put out new comics.

And THEN, during the ensuing "Great Comics Drought of Ought-Seven", when the fans start clamoring for new comics, TightLip publishes Devil-Gnat and Freedom Twee, becomes the savoir of the hobby and business that is comics, and CLEANS UP!

(Cut to medium shot of Dr. Doom, sitting pensively in his throne room, his chin resting on his armored fist: "H-m-m-m-m... yes-s-s... a plan so fiendishly cunning - so diabolical in its simplicity - that it's almost worthy of... me...!")

...and then, after the bomb destroys New York City, Rick becomes President and... oh... wait... wrong story...

But, in any case...

WE'RE ALL DOOMED! DOO-O-O-O-OOM-M-M-M-M-MED, I TELL YOU!!!

[Chris Hansbrough]

OH MY GOD HE'S GOT A PAINTBALL GUN!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! That automatically makes matt look scary don't it......discredited him right out.....I mean paintball? that's just more proof he's training. Combine that with James' exploding head and we've got some scary things happening around these parts.....I mean paintball and being a successful childrens bok author.......how evil can you get........you guys are evil....eeeeeeeeevil I tell you. How dare thee write childrens books and play paintball. this aimless gramatically retarded rant was brought to you by the letters R. and O.....and they still read easier than his drivel

Oh, how I wish peanut would approach some folks in a crowd attempt to "handle things himself"

after the horrid things he's said about women, gays, certain folk's health, certain folk's family members passing? ?

wow. . he would draw a crowd -- so we could watch him get his ass kicked, and then we could spit on him while he was down.

I'd even pull my dick out and piss on him (that's not a threat, just a promise), after all, he showed us that he is a toilet.

So, since Rick turned down my generous offer, I've been thinking.

He's got nothing now. Nothing except for the Internet traffic we provide by looking at his website and seeing who he's trying to scam today. But he's not even scamming anyone anymore; hell, he's promoting James Owen's latest children's book today and showing the world how handsome our own Matt Doc Martin really is to all of the ladies out there.

It's fair to say that we're the only traffic he gets.

So...I saw we take a day in the next 30 days (I recommend 6/6/07- it's close enough) and celebrate a new holiday, one that will change the world forever.

A day where we celebrate those who have persevered against evil, and forget those who have caused said evil.

In other words...

...wait for it...

...ladies and gentlemen, by proclamation from on high, we will celebrate

The 1st Annual International Ignore Rick Olney Day!!!!!!!!
That's right kids, on IIROD, we will ignore Rick Olney. No checking his web pages. No responding to whatever dumb stunt he's come up with now. No writing any posts about him.

Instead, we'll take the day to promote Unscrewed! and the artists who were injured by Rick. And heck, we'll even celebrate those talented individuals who have kept the peaNUT cowering in his Den of Iniquity.

What do you think, am I nuts?

Again. Best. Reality show. Ever. - Wade Busby

That is SO BIZARRE.

I packed up the whole box of stuff I got at Emerald City and couldn't find it, even though there was stuff in there I really wanted to read. Tonight, I'm paying my son to pack away some comics, and HE found the box. So I know exactly where your two books are. HA!

I'll read them in the next couple days, fair?

Best,

I actually make fanfic about that under the title "DOOM CITY: THAT YELLOW BAXTER BUILDING" ... but the Batman mod deleted it because I put too much profanity in it.

It's not a Frank Miller story if it isn't chock full of profanity and bad pulp dialogue..

[CutterMike]

So...I saw we take a day in the next 30 days (I recommend 6/6/07- it's close enough) and celebrate a new holiday, one that will change the world forever.

A day where we celebrate those who have persevered against evil, and forget those who have caused said evil.

In other words...

...wait for it...

...ladies and gentlemen, by proclamation from on high, we will celebrate

The 1st Annual International Ignore Rick Olney Day!!!!!!!!
That's right kids, on IIROD, we will ignore Rick Olney. No checking his web pages. No responding to whatever dumb stunt he's come up with now. No writing any posts about him.

Instead, we'll take the day to promote Unscrewed! and the artists who were injured by Rick. And heck, we'll even celebrate those talented individuals who have kept the peaNUT cowering in his Den of Iniquity.

What do you think, am I nuts?



Yes, you're nuts - but in a good way. I like it!

[Gail Simone]

Hey, Rick's Shitty Mini Con front page is empty again!

I bet he'll use it to promote his great new event, or maybe to broaden the readership of comics and expose children of all ages to this wonderful art form!

Nah, he'll put more overflowing toilets in there, that's all he's good at.

And you still have my name and town wrong, moron!

Aside from the obvious selection by Beck, how about....


Ballad of a Fat Man

You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And you say, "Who is that man?"
You try so hard
But you don't understand
Just what you'll say
When you get home

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Olney?

You raise up your head
And you ask, "Is this where it is?"
And somebody points to you and says
"It's his"
And you say, "What's mine?"
And somebody else says, "Where what is?"
And you say, "Oh my (Wiccan) God
Am I here all alone?"

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Olney?

You hand in your ticket
And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears you speak
And says, "How does it feel
To be such a freak?"
And you say, "Impossible"
As he hands you a summons

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Olney?

You have many contacts
Among the crumb catchers
To get you facts
When someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you
To just give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizations

You've been with the professors
And they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have
Discussed libelers and crooks
You've been through all of
Fredric Wertham's books
You're very well fed
It's well known

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Olney?

Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
And then he kneels
He crosses himself
And then he clicks his high heels
And without further notice
He asks you how it feels
And he says, "Here is your throat back
Thanks for the loan"

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Olney?

Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the words "PAY NOW"
And you say, "For what reason?"
And he says, "How?"
And you say, "What does this mean?"
And he screams back, "You're a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home to Herkimer"

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Olney?

Well, you walk into the room
Like a camel and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
Against you comin' around
You should be made
To wear earphones

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Olney?

The Mission Statement
Unscrewed. Where nobody's getting any, because they're damn ugly!

I used to think he acted like a high school kid, but this statement reminds me more of something a pre-school CHILD would say.

My guess from this statement is that he has been teased his entire life about his looks and his weight. If he had a weight problem during his school years, he might have suffered a lot of abuse. But now he's an adult, (well, he's supposed to be an adult) so for him to be sputtering out comments like that just shows that he never matured. He's stuck in this strange adolescent state. And the IDEA Of him raising kids as the person he is today just saddens me. Did he teach his children that looks are how you get a life mate? That looks determine what kind of person you are?

And the only one here who doesn't seem to be 'getting any' is Rick himself.
Not from Ronee, Suzanne, Holly, Gail, Tamryn, Sarah, Matt...

[Mike Bullock]

All jokes aside, I'm serous. He's obviously suffering from mental illness and needs psychiatric care.

Read the rules. Irony, thy name is Olney.

So have I.

It started with this:



Cease and Desist Notice

Dear Mr. Rick Olney:
It has come to my attention that you have made an unauthorized use of my image on your Mighty Mini-Con website (http://www.mightyminicon.com/) and on various incarnations of MySpace pages you maintain. I have reserved all rights to my image and any use thereof.
As you neither asked for nor received permission to use my image nor to make or distribute copies, including electronic copies, of same, I believe you have willfully infringed my rights under 17 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq. and could be liable for statutory damages as high as $150,000 as set forth in Section 504(c)(2) therein.
I demand that you immediately cease the use and distribution of all infringing images, and all copies, including electronic copies, of same, or destroy such copies immediately and that you desist from this or any other infringement of my rights in the future. If I have not received an affirmative response from you by June 11th, 2007 indicating that you have fully complied with these requirements, I shall take further legal action against you. Your website hosting company has also been notified.
Very truly yours,

Matthew Martin


I did follow through and contact Biznetix. (They received a modified version of the same letter.)

I got this back:


Matt-

I have temporarily removed the alleged copyright material from the web site mightyminicon.com, pending receipt of supporting evidence that the material was illegally obtained.


Rick came back with this to his hosting company:


John,
I've reinstated my homepage. Where it will stay until you cancel my Mighty Minicon account with your company.

It is clear to me that you have no right to dictate what I chose to display on my homepage, as I have broken NO rules per our hosting agreement. I didn't drag you into anything. These people are bullies and if you're going to fall in step with them and chose to chastise me in an email response that will now, end up being troll fodder on their public forum...then our business is done. Send me a final statement.

Matt Martin - Go fuck yourself.

And I heard this back:


Mr Martin-

Per the request of the authorized account holder, Rick Olney, we have terminated the hosting of mightyminicon.com.

Regards,

John Crowley

You learned a new word! "Iota". You took that from me!

My reporting you to three different charities along with three separate complaints to the NY AG is not harassment.

My complaints to the IRS regarding false non-profit claims you made is not harassment.


You will get your letter. Trust me. But that is just the start.

You threatened me again. I am not scared at all. You are a coward. You make all kinds of claims from the "safety" of your keyboard. Meanwhile, your tenuous grasp on reality weakens even more.

What more "intel" do you need on me? You know my birthday (readily available), you claim to have my address (You wouldn't lie, would you? Chump.), and you even know my astrological sign. What more would you like?

I know all sorts of things about you, Rick. For example, I know you got a "General" discharge. I know about your father and his troubles. I know about your attempted dalliances with women besides Holly. I know what is happening to you next month. It is all so easy to find out.

You are so far out of your weight class...

Unfounded and untruthful such reporting's ARE harassment. This constant droning of such LIES by you is also a foundation of legal harassment.

By all means, have your attorney send me a letter. Umm... that is, IF and after he's heard your explanation and checked to see if what you've told him/her is truthful. Like you haters like to say, "It isn't libel if its the truth."

You threatened me again. I am not scared at all. You are a coward. You make all kinds of claims from the "safety" of your keyboard. Meanwhile, your tenuous grasp on reality weakens even more.


I believe this is the part of the reply from me to you where I say, "I did not threaten you, Mr. Sphincter Brain.

Your public apology will do.

I know all sorts of things about you, Rick. For example, I know you got a "General" discharge.


Really? I sure hope you can prove that, because I have my Honorable Discharge displayed on the wall in my living room alongside my service ribbons and awards. Dennis Kininger has seen them, and that bogus attempt to discredit my standing as a military veteran of the United States Marine Corps blew up in your face. In fact, I have taken staeps via my local Congressman to get my SRB pulled and corrected, as the record that McQuarrie provided showed incorrect entries on my specific MOS. My TDY after training wasn't listed. So for that I am thankful to McQuarrie.

I know about your father and his troubles.


And? Maybe I should have you formally investigated through my attorney. I mean, just a means of better understanding you as a personal threat to the safety of my family.

I know about your attempted dalliances with women besides Holly.


I'm betting that someone could thrust a thistle up your ass and roses would grow too, pal. Because you're full of shit. You are so lame, there is no doubt that this harassment email by you is just to make you feel like a BIG man so you can justify yourself to your fellow bully friends from YABS.

You just acknowledged receipt of the letter by doing this!!

And a "legal injunction" to prove it's me? If you actually HAVE a lawyer, he/she is the dumbest person EVER. And that is no small trick knowing you.

Now that we have established that you have received fair warning about my image (thank you again, peanut!) I can't wait for your next trick.

Did you remove my image, or did your hosting site? I wonder when they will decide you are more trouble than you are worth...


So Rick loses another website, another attempt to threaten people, and another battle.

Did he not read the agreement he clicked okay to in order to complete his order? The webprovider (host) has every right to deny service, or ask things be removed if it appears that the services is being used for an illegal activity.

ie: copyright infingement.

I'm sure the legaggle teams are going to need to bring in a third sock to help see this matter brought to justice.

And I find it funny, that apperently the Orcafresh forum's been open since the 21st and there are 5 members, 2 of which are Rick, (admin, Webadmin) the third is Dennis (Oracle) ....

Okay, now I admit I haven't been to sleep in like 2 days, sooooo perhaps I am imagining things... But did Rick just accuse his HOSTING COMPANY OF THROWING IN WITH THE YABS CREW PURELY BECAUSE THEY ACTED RESPONSIBLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR STATED RULES????????

[Sarah Beach]

Matt, I have to admit that my mind boggled in reading his latest exchanges with you!

I mean, he says you'd have to prove that the pictures were of you, and illegally obtained. But as I recall in checking out his webpage -- he'd just linked to them, and their original URLs were clearly visible when you looked at the "Properties"! And they were labeled as you! So proving they were you, and that he didn't have permission to copy wouldn't be all that difficult to track.

I guess, he never learned the interim step one could do that at least wouldn't leave the "track the original URL" aspect so easily in play. (And I'm not going to post it here, because lazy-brain would then learn it! And why should I make his life easier?)

But back talking to his webhost service?????? What is WRONG with the man? They might actually have been amiable about it, if he'd just said something about "Ooops. I didn't realize that would be a factor. Sure, I can take those pictures down." I mean, he never was going to leave the pictures up long, we all know that. He was just doing it to irritate Matt. But Stupido had to shit at the provider. I bet after reading THAT email, the provider promptly said "We don't need this shit. Pull the plug!"

Heh.

And now gang, all in chorus --

RICK. YOU MORON!

***
Edited to add: I mean also to acknowledge the link to the forum rules for Orcafrewsh -- it looks like he's copy & pasted most of them from another site. Most of it seemed pretty standard. Although I nearly did laugh out loud at the double posting rule, since it's worded as if people actually do it on purpose! Heh. My experience has been that it almost always is due to a server glitch and posters don't always realize that the double post has happened. Heh. But there were obviously a couple that he added himself -- #14 (I forget the topic of it now, but remember the number), the reference to showing up for bullying, and then his ending "Forever" rule! Those were certainly himself. Oh, and his nearly trademarked "hobby and business of comics" does put in an appearance. Heh.

[KevinTBrown]

Sheesh, I go away for a vacation (still on it, by the way!) and I miss out on all the fun. :(

[MacQuarrie]

The thing about Rick is to pay attention to what he doesn't say.

Look at this excerpt from his response to Matt:

I know all sorts of things about you, Rick. For example, I know you got a "General" discharge.


Really? I sure hope you can prove that, because I have my Honorable Discharge displayed on the wall in my living room alongside my service ribbons and awards. Dennis Kininger has seen them, and that bogus attempt to discredit my standing as a military veteran of the United States Marine Corps blew up in your face. In fact, I have taken staeps via my local Congressman to get my SRB pulled and corrected, as the record that McQuarrie provided showed incorrect entries on my specific MOS. My TDY after training wasn't listed. So for that I am thankful to McQuarrie.

I know about your father and his troubles.


And? Maybe I should have you formally investigated through my attorney. I mean, just a means of better understanding you as a personal threat to the safety of my family.

I know about your attempted dalliances with women besides Holly.


I'm betting that someone could thrust a thistle up your ass and roses would grow too, pal. Because you're full of shit. You are so lame, there is no doubt that this harassment email by you is just to make you feel like a BIG man so you can justify yourself to your fellow bully friends from YABS.

I know what is happening to you next month. It is all so easy to find out.




You are so far out of your weight class...
Note that on the topic of his discharge, he has a very specific and vehement reply. I believe Rick actually has an Honorable Discharge, mostly because federal law prohibits the records department from revealing the type of discharge an individual received, unless that person signs a form authorizing the release of that information. So we don't "know" that he has a General Discharge, we only know that he was discharged.

However, moving down a bit, when it comes to the question of his attempted dalliances with women he found online, Rick has no response except bluster and insult. He never denies the allegation. Rick's pattern it to always try to start with the truth. First he tries to spin it, then he gradually adds fiction to cover his spin, then eventually ends up in full-blown falsehood. With the Holly thing, he hasn't yet gotten to teh lying phase. What that means is, if the story weren't true, he would have vehemently denied it and cited some evidence to support his claim, even something as tenuous as referring to the certificate hanging on his wall that nobody else can see unless they go to his house.

And then we come to the bit about what's happening next month. Here, Rick falls silent. He doesn't know what you're referring to, so he can't bluster or bluff, can't deny or challenge anything.

This is how we like Rick. Silent.

[Coppervale Studio]

Ow-w-w-w-w-w...

Did the temperature in here just drop? Man, I thought James was cold...!

TAMRYN STRIKES AGAIN!

(Uh... I know that we haven't actually met, personally... Am I allowed to use your real name like that?)

Cold as truth.

I wasn't just poking at the defendant - I REALLY DID sell three copies of LOST TREASURES going through the drive-thru at Sonic.

Hey Rick - here's what an ACTUAL BOOK looks like:

http://pics.livejournal.com/coppervale/pic/000a4e7a

You moron.

And you IDENTIFIED those pictures as Matt your own dumb self. So he wouldn't have had to PROVE anything.

[Sabrinaset]

"Rick, about Holly ..."

"ZOMG lol (waving finger) I did NOT have lol sex with that woman lol omg lol!!!"

[Sarah Beach]

I wasn't just poking at the defendant - I REALLY DID sell three copies of LOST TREASURES going through the drive-thru at Sonic.


I have to admit when you first said it, I laughed - not because I disbelieved you, by the way. I mean, why lie about a thing like that? But rather because I could totally believe it!

Now, see, Ricky-poo -- THAT'S called "salemanship"! And I'm betting that the book-buyers totally loved it too!

And see, Rick.... you are utterly incapable of making that kind of move. You don't have ANYTHING like the bare minimum in people-skills to even think of it.

Translated: You have NO imagination, Rick. You have NO people-skills, Rick. You have NOTHING that anyone wants, Rick -- in fact, the only things people want from you are your absence and silence. Please oblige.

[CutterMike]

The thing about Rick is to pay attention to what he doesn't say.

Back in my college days, we used to have pretty regular penny-ante Saturday night poker games.

There was one guy that always played:

1 - a good hand - lowball to keep more people in
2 - a medium hand, more than minimum, but conservative
3 - a lousy hand - bombsquad every round at maximum bid, in hopes of scaring everybody else out.

The key point here is that, unless he folded immediately, he ALWAYS played the same way, and couldn't understand why he never won big!

With Rick, while his stories may change over time, every other thing that he does is so predictable - and he (fortunately for everyone else in the world) either can't or won't change. Frankly, I'm betting on "can't", and think that some counseling time would be a good thing for him. But again, that "can't change" thing keeps that from ever happening voluntarily, doesn't it?

[Joshua Pantalleresco]

John,
I've reinstated my homepage. Where it will stay until you cancel my Mighty Minicon account with your company.

It is clear to me that you have no right to dictate what I chose to display on my homepage, as I have broken NO rules per our hosting agreement. I didn't drag you into anything. These people are bullies and if you're going to fall in step with them and chose to chastise me in an email response that will now, end up being troll fodder on their public forum...then our business is done. Send me a final statement.

Matt Martin - Go fuck yourself.

It's ridiculous.

Gail

[Sarah Beach]

Pip, I think Sam initially took it as referring to a "last look" at his place, which seemed confusing. Because you weren't clear that it was about the website itself, not whatever he might have had posted on it.

Just to be clear -- Sam, I don't think anything was directed at you.

:)

[NatGertler]

Rick seems to have a rather strong lack of understanding that when he involves others in what he does, he has involved others in what he does. He doesn't seem to understand that when he and his wife signed papers saying they were partners in Tightlip, that meant that she was a partner in Tightlip. He doesn't seem to understand that when he uses someone else's computer to distribute his web pages for him, that service provider bears a responsibility, and that ignoring complaints of copyright infringment could cost them their Safe Harbor protection.

Gail
The Defendant had previously posted a number of threats directed at Samuel, holding these photos over his head as proof of his assertion that Samuel is a slob. An allegation not borne out by the evidence.

(Gee, when has it happened before that the Defendant has made a claim which was subsequently not supported by his "evidence"?)

What we're looking at here is compound chickenshit. First the slimy "back off or I'll tell everyone what a pig you are" threat, then the fact that he actually posted the pictures he had secretly taken (obviously with just such blackmail in mind at the time) while a guest in Samuel's home, and finally the fact that the photos did not show anything remotely like what the Defendant claimed.

I wonder what photos of the Defendant's office area would reveal? I bet it's considerably worse.

The Defendant couldn't be more chickenshit if he were scraped up from the floor of the Foster Farms coop.

[MacQuarrie]

Gee I am quaking in fear. Though GreenLanern1999 screen name looks familiar.

It is three weeks before the con starts.

He starts posting abusive and strange messages on not his personal sites but his professional site for the con.

He also uses images he has no legal grounds to use. When complaints are made, he uses the usual bluster of "I know my legal rights...". Matt Martin then starts quoting actual laws to him and more of the same. When his provider warns him, he gives them attitude and tries to act tough saying take the site down. The provider is not bluffing and yanks it.

WEEKS before the con he asks the site to be yanked. As bad business decisions go, I don't think this can actually be topped!
