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

[OzBat!]

Now say it with a Doctor Evil or Elmer Fudd voice !Be vewy vewy qwiet! I'm hunting olneys! ehehehehehehehehe!



EDIT: 10,000th reply!

[Cam63]

A quick update.

The Unscrewed release is now posted over on The Pulse.

http://comicon.com/pulse/

(its on the sidebar next to the headlines)

And yes, Rick Olney's name is still banned. They had to write 0lney with a zero for it to post.

I love that.

[Cam63]

10,000!

Wow!

You deserve that much at least, mate.

[Cam63]

Be vewy vewy qwiet! I'm hunting olneys! ehehehehehehehehe!



EDIT: 10,000th reply!

Missed it by that much, Cannnb'raaa. :D

[the4thpip]

I emailed the owner of the Nostalgiazone shop to tell him about this thread and ask him if he did ever end up getting his money.

[Danny Donovan]

You deserve that much at least, mate.

lol. Thanks Cam. I have to admit I was hoping to get the 10K one. :-p

not that I was sitting here waiting for it, but I was working on a few things here on the ol' PC and I took regular threadcrack breaks. ;)

I want my mug Rick! I got the 10,000th post!

Now I see he was trying to push Ian's buttons by making that announcement and further the rift.

And for a while, it worked. The damage he did to the coheisive network dream I'd originally tried to institute by bringing us all together in the SPA - well, we're not done making it all better yet.

[TomStillwell]

Hey Tom -

I haven't posted while I've been doing edits on a novel - but a ways back I offered to ink something (over Cully's pencils - or whatever, but Cully's an old friend). So count me in. Love to help.

(Or inking Colleen - if she's offered to do anything. We'd done a couple of pieces together back in the day, and I'd love to do that again, especially to help out.)

((Or Larry. That would be kind of cool, eh Lar?))

Thanks James!

[Cam63]

Similarly, if someone wants to 'trib pencils, I can do a painted finish, for the cause.

Also, just had another "hot tub summit" with Misty & she is in for auction items, most especially some of her excellent beadwork. She does bead-weaving (essentially, making cloth from tiny beads) of neck pouches, and bead-stringing of necklaces, computer mascots and the like. They're only ever available by personal gift or charity/cause sources like this, and go for hundreds of bucks. Additionally, she may put in one of her custom dolls if she has one finished in time.
We'll also put in signed books & a signed galley (a proof version of a book).

Oh and yes, to add my encouragement: Ronee and all: Go after Olney. You have motive, means, opportunity, and increasingly, the eyes of an industry on your situation.

Old Hermit Obi-Waid handed you the magic flashlight. Go Deadeye Knights!

Sweet, Larry. You and Misty hug each other for me please.

[AIPman1]

Doc,

That is how I remember it too, that you were the co admin. I never suspected Ian or anyone other than you know who of messing with my (for whatever reason)account, and I knew who had, and that played into my decision to terminate the relationship. I had enough of the whole soap opera deal which had been going on for a few years.

Best,

Samuel
I didn't even really know who you were back then, why would I hack YOUR profile?

It's crazy, I installed his forum software, configured it for him, turned over the keys and taught him how to use it, then got locked out and IP banned, and I was the bad guy.

See, the root of the fallout was when he attacked people on the SPA site, he started taking posts from the private admin forum and posting them on the MMC site, so while I still had access to his server cause I'd set up the software, I turned off his database, and was deleting the stolen private posts - and was going to turn it back on when done, so he sees the forum is offline, goes nuts, bans me so I can't turn it back on, has the hosting company rollback the site to undo my turning it off, cause he couldn't figure that out, but it had the same effect, cause the rollback would have lost posts from that day.

For years he's threatened me that that was an illegal thing for me to do. That's why I'm such a big hacker. But I was a site admin until he locked me out...and what HE was doing was against the Code of Conduct he agreed to to be a part of the SPA.

He owed me money from numerous things, I was going to sue him. He says rolling back the site cost him hundreds of dollars. So we ended up agreeing that we'd call it even, and never talk to each other again. Now everyone knows the WHOLE story.

If anyone sees anything illegal in what I did that day 4 years ago, let me know.

Obviously you're a no good america hating commie hacker, who's online vigiliantisim almost got you a taste of Olney justice! thank your lucky stars you had an angel watching over you because there would have been HELL TO PAY.

I bet you kick puppies too don't you? YOU BASTARD!

No seriously, there was a point in time where I was posting on both the MMC (where my message board was) and SPA (where there were more damn people) so after the "falling out" I was still posting on both boards and not a week went by that I wasn't told "be careful of Ian, he's a troll, he's a liar, and he's been trying to break into the site"

There was a WHOLE SECTION about you on the mods only forum. Basically everytime the server was slow you were trying to break in.

It's just his mindset.

It was the damndest thing, because my imagination is so great I willed the existance of Aussies everywhere to life. So WORLD THANK ME FOR KANGAROOS! Yup, they're awesome, and they're all mine.

Also that means I'm your God and you can't sue God. That'd be Unamerican.

[AIPman1]

There was a WHOLE SECTION about you on the mods only forum. Basically everytime the server was slow you were trying to break in.

I was aware of it, I tried very hard to make sure I didn't post anything in the public sections about Olney, and in the private, I always made sure the mods and co-admins knew I wasn't asking anyone to spy, but that information was appreciated when sent. Eventually, I just didn't care what was going on over there anymore. I had a very rough couple years with my health there, I've had 3 operations on my foot in the past 3 years, plus another scare that landed me in the hospital for weeks on antibiotics and pain meds. God I don't just feel old, I sound old there!

I admit, I have had a certain amount of paranoia about Olney being behind hacker attacks and DOS attacks on the Dimestore site more than once. But that's just cause I don't put ANYTHING out of his range of venom. Now, I'd like to think that the attacks that forced us to do a complete site redesign were NOT Olney - that it was just random stuff designed to hit vonerable sites and we just needed better code. That he wasn't smart enough to pull it off. But a little part of me also says, well, he could have conned someone into the hackings too...

[OzBat!]

Also that means I'm your God and you can't sue God. That'd be Unamerican.Dear god. How ya goin? I've been hearing about all these church/state donnybrooks you've been getting into over there in the States, and it doesn't sound like you're having a good time. I mean, really! Suing God is about as American as you can get, these days!

And, ummm.... yeah. Good job on the 'roos. But I think one of your other projects got loose over here, can you do anything about those cane toads? I'm pretty sure they didn't come with the package when you knocked the place together!

[EdContradictory]

Okay, we know he dissolved Tightlip Entertainment. But has he registered any other business names since?

Yes. Rick wanted to keep using the same logo, so he formed a new business under a new name.

Look for Drooling Hairlip Entertainment to publish Tales of the Spooky sometime in 2009!

Rick actually had some pretty interesting stories about you. How you once called him in tears asking him for forgiveness or some such malarky. Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about your surgeries its never fun when your ill.

But look at it this way, something positive is coming from all this. People are getting reaquainted, new friends are being made, and hell we may even show this silly little business a thing or three. :)

Yeah, things have been tough on this side of the hemisphere. There's this really weird guy that looks kind of like a monkey saying I helped him get into office. Which is rediculous. I take vacations every four years. I figure I work non stop three years in a row, a couple of months on the fourth is a nice way to recharge my batteries..

But you know they're not all bad.. I mean they have a mall with a Rollercoaster in it. how bad ass is that? Plus you know, skee-ball. I loves me some skee-ball.

The Cane Toads are Jim's department. He is the devil and everything. I try to give him projects to do so he won't get bored and bother me. That typhoon in asia a few years back was him too. My bad. I just really wanted to catch the series finale of everybody loves raymond. I thougt maybe they'd tell me why everyone liked the dude so much.

I got gipped. The producers of the show are now counting grains of sand on a beach that gets hotter and hotter by the minute.

Dear Nostalgia Zone,

Thank you for your generous donation to ORCA (Organized Readers of Comics Something Something Something).

I hope I don't have to sue you to make you realize that you made a charity donation by sending me those books (Spider-Man #16, Fantastic Four #23).

You can totally deduct the cost of the books and the COD.

On a completely unrelated note, I now have some old issues of Spider-Man and Fantastic Four I'd be willing to selling you if you are interested.

Sincerely,
Rick Olney

[Typo Lad]

So Mr. Olney's surfaced, has he?

With more vague, empty threats.

Lovely.

Rick chased that guy from the Pulse down and called him!

The guy posted the following on Rick's blog at MySpace:

Rick,

I have asked for an edit on the Beat. You can't self edit messages on the Beat to the best of my knowledge.

And yes, I am grateful for the keen stuff I used to get from Orca. It was great to discuss comics with others at such a young age.

And I apologize for taking too many sayings about you online at face value. I guess the sheer bevy of them confused me. However, the very fact that you were so kind and cordigal on the phone will make me take a second look at things in the future. I apologize for calling you crazy. I think you might just be misunderstood.

I've heard the tears story...:rolleyes:

My foot's been a problem since I was born...total I've had probably a dozen surgeries, most when I was a baby to reconstruct the club foot I was born with. Others to adjust continued complications from it. I'm not out of the woods on it, after lengthening my heel chord, fusing a main joint with metal pins, and taking out some other bits and peices, it's still hurting, and severely weakened...I've had to turn down a bunch of convention appearances cause of it. I actually go to the Dr's this coming Tuesday to go over an MRI I just had done and see if there is anything else they can do...but my feeling is that there's not much else they can do except pain manage it.

But look at it this way, something positive is coming from all this. People are getting reaquainted, new friends are being made, and hell we may even show this silly little business a thing or three. :)

Yeah, first, I don't blame Michael for retracting his post at all. Either he's creeped out by Rick, or Rick convinced him that the dozens of people he's cheated are all liars, or maybe he rediscovered some fond memories of when Orca was actually a real club and not just a sham, or maybe he just wanted not to be involved at all.

I don't blame him a bit. I just find it creepy that Olney called so he could have ONE person defend him.

Rick replies (he's so misunderstood):

Michael,

Thank you so much for the retraction and apology. I don't think I could ever have imagined that I'd end up being so unliked in a hobby and industry that I helped to grow and guide over the last 20 years. Yeah, after thinking about it -- I might be crazy. Who else but a crazy man back in the mid to late 1990s would've tried to make a hobby and activity like reading and comic books exciting by gathering youngsters together, while also going to talk at schools to parents and teachers. Did you ever walk with us all in any of the local parades where we handed out free comics and candy? I have been recalling more of those times during the last couple of days. What became of your friend from Deerfield? You know, I still have that comic you guys made back then.

Anyway, it was nice to hear from you again even with the slanted remarks. I wouldn't sell those books on ebay though... maybe someday your own son or daughter might want to know what you did as a hobby as a kid. Good luck with your life, career, and don't believe everything you read.

Rick

[Kozemp]

Since we know he's still reading...

Hey Rick -

What's your all-too-real lawyer's name?

How about just a first name?

At the very least just MAKE UP A NAME, idiot. You know, do that thing you do, where you lie to everyone all the time.

That's why you're considered smart.

[Danny Donovan]

Corrina, want to PM me the info? I'm just curious if anyone else I worked with/hung out with during my time there's come forward. I know there are at least 4 other people that left on bad terms under my watch because of problems but I haven't seen them make much of a noise. :)

One's at least pulled half way out of comics altogether...

Ed was that REALLY the response or were you just havin' a laugh?

[TomStillwell]

Yeah, first, I don't blame Michael for retracting his post at all. Either he's creeped out by Rick, or Rick convinced him that the dozens of people he's cheated are all liars, or maybe he rediscovered some fond memories of when Orca was actually a real club and not just a sham, or maybe he just wanted not to be involved at all.

I don't blame him a bit. I just find it creepy that Olney called so he could have ONE person defend him.

Gail

It's funny too after Olney's claimed invasion of privacy over people looking up public information legal through the Freedom of Information Act, yet it's okay to call some poor guy he hasn't seen for years at home to harrass him about an internet post.

I'm sure Olney used a combo of guilt "Remember all those free comics I gave you?" and implied legal action "What you said could be seen as libel." on the guy.

[Cam63]

I have not had time to catch up with everyones responses to my last post... but for posterity and in reverse order here is the whole email exchange between Rick and myself.

I think you should pick his teeth for gold, Ron'.

[Danny Donovan]

I have not had time to catch up with everyones responses to my last post... but for posterity and in reverse order here is the whole email exchange between Rick and myself.

That's sad, but what did make me laugh was "wait for my lawyer to get around to you."

I just imagined a guy (if one did exist) sitting on a pile of briefings screaming "STOP TALKING FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GOD!" Then Rick starts going on about how stalkers must be made to pay and all that stuff the poor schyster slumps in his chair silently weeping to himself thinking "Mom wanted me to be a crack dealer, but NOOOOOOOO I wanted to *help* people. I wonder if G-love is still hiring?..."

[Corrina]

Ooh, tell!

Gail

Can't. It's no one connected with Olney's ORCA or the websites, though, just someone he had dealings with that basically dealt with the psycho stalker Olney.

Really, really, creepy.

[TomStillwell]

The auction is starting to take shape. We can expect donations from:

Kurt Busiek
Tony Isabella
Mark Waid
Larry Dixon
Mercedes Lackey
Troy Hickman
Colleen Doran
Taki Soma
James Owen

I'm hoping to hear back from several more creators over the new few days.

[Gail Simone]

People wonder why we call him names.

What an utter, vile creep. He just disgusts me like a roach in the cereal box, and the industry can't be rid of him any too soon.

Gail

[Typo Lad]

Can the industry really be "rid" of him? Near as I can tell, he's not actually a part of it. He just desperately wants to be, all the while complaining that he's better than it.

No, that was actually him.

[Danny Donovan]

No, that was actually him.

Sweet Jaysus. Actually, you know what's REALLY sad about that statement? Even if I weren't ass tired, I still would have not known if you were being funny or posting something he actually said.
he's really become a parody of normal behavior that you can't even honestly make light of the situation without the possibility of it being an honest accounting. :p


Anywho, I dunno if anyone's already seen this. (this is actually where Joey and kim found out about this mess weeks ago)

[Gail Simone]

I just received a note from the MICHAEL at the BEAT blog.

As I suspected, he couldn't be a nicer young man. He's just a very nice guy.

I can't talk about the details, but certainly Michael meant no one any harm, and if possible, I hate Olney even more now for dragging this poor guy into his nonsense and evil.

If you read this Michael, we all wish you ever success in your career. GOOD LUCK and GO GET 'EM!

Yes, because you've got such a proven record of keeping your word.

Oh, wait, you have the exact opposite.

You're done, Rick. You were never going to publish anything, and it's even less likely now. Orca's done, MMMC is done, Tightlip is done. You're done.

Good luck with your van of justice. Selling tip: try a few cans of air freshener before showing it to potential buyers.

[TCJohnson]

Why would anybody think that Michael did mean anybody any harm. Olney did him a good turn when he was younger, and he is grateful for that. Nothing in the world wrong with that.

[Gail Simone]

My favorite Rick Olney moment ever?

He started one of his pr statements by giving a greeting to his fans.

That slays me.

Rick thinks he has fans.

Oh, my god.

That's the funniest thing ever.

Gail

[Gail Simone]

Why would anybody think that Michael did mean anybody any harm. Olney did him a good turn when he was younger, and he is grateful for that. Nothing in the world wrong with that.

I think he was talking about the 'misunderstood' comment.

But again, my point is simply that he's a nice guy who simply offered his opinion, that's all. I wish him well.

Gail

[Danny Donovan]

I swear to GOD I have to start gambling....

[THEDOC]

Just so you guys know, I'm getting an E-Bay auction together in conjunction with the UNSCREWED site.

I've been contacting creators and so far have gotten responses from a respectable amount of folks. I'm still waiting on responses from some before I announce anything official. <cough>Gail<cough>

Let me be clear about something. Any monies made are to help those creators stiffed by Olney make ends meet.

Olney didn't just stiff the people who worked for him. He stiffed their families. He cancelled Christmas for some, endangered mortgage payments for others. He took food off their tables. He kept them from paying work with false promises of living up to his obligations.

While Olney plays his sad, sick little games with imaginary lawsuits and magic NDAs, these creators are trying their best just to get by.

This auction is to help the creators and their families. It in no way, shape, or form absolves Olney of his debts.


Still catching up, but seems like the eBay auction would work better than something at a con. Too many auctions might get confusing perhaps.

[THEDOC]

I hope Dennis wakes up soon and leaves Olney.

It's frastrating to see a good and intelligent person, from what people here have said about him, being abused by Rick. :(

Run, Dennis, Run!

Danny:

LMAO :D

Did Gail ever talk to him? I found an e-mail address on one of the Yahoo groups I belong too.

[TCJohnson]

Hey, his fans like that odor!

Gail

Lysol is trying to put it in a can. The advertising practically writes itself. Olney fresh scent, only for his fans!

[THEDOC]

Doc,

That is how I remember it too, that you were the co admin. I never suspected Ian or anyone other than you know who of messing with my (for whatever reason)account, and I knew who had, and that played into my decision to terminate the relationship. I had enough of the whole soap opera deal which had been going on for a few years.

Best,

Samuel

When I came back the first time being banned from MMC and found all my posts gone he blamed it then on some hacker. I just found it odd that my posts were deleted when he banned me but he swore it wasn't him.

Well, you see, that is the Olney continuity blow, otherwise known as the OCB. Whenever things become inconvient he hits the walls of his room with his forhead and everything changes for him.

Geoff Johns actually ripped off the idea from him and Olney will be suing him with his lawyer (OCB) team of lawyers.

[Gail Simone]

Did Gail ever talk to him? I found an e-mail address on one of the Yahoo groups I belong too.

I've talked to Dennis many times...he's a very nice, non-stinky guy who has only the best intentions. We've corresponded a lot recently and my good opinion of him remains unchanged.

Well, until they are all sold off in an attempt to pay for the judgments against him.

So, Rick...how many times have you been served so far?

(And some of us know, so no lying!)

[EdContradictory]

Still catching up, but seems like the eBay auction would work better than something at a con. Too many auctions might get confusing perhaps.

EBay has very specific rules for charity auctions. So either label them differently or make sure you know and follow those rules.

[THEDOC]

And for a while, it worked. The damage he did to the coheisive network dream I'd originally tried to institute by bringing us all together in the SPA - well, we're not done making it all better yet.

He stalled us for a bit but I think we are getting back on track.

[AIPman1]

Lysol is trying to put it in a can. The advertising practically writes itself. Olney fresh scent, only for his fans!

Orcafresh, Olney for his fans?

Here's hoping peace will reign throughout the SPA.

Yes, now that "Rick" has been exposed (you know what I mean ;) ) there will be a 1000 years of peace between SPA/ICC/IF.

No, what you actually hate is that he had sense enough to rethink what he had said after reading the lies and mistruths communicated in Heidi's issuance of the Beat. That's okay though, because the ride is nearly over.

[Matt Doc Martin]

Orcafresh, Olney for his fans?

Tired of that boring clean smell? You know..all the people have it. They use soap, deodorant, cologne...BORING!


You want to bring in da noise and bring in DA FUNK!

Orcafresh! Make 'em smell you for days!

Orcafresh brand air-freshners.

In original "Street Bum" scent, and NEW "Soap is for Sissies" Extra Funk-y Musk.

Available from Dollar General and other low-end department stores.

No, what you actually hate is that he had sense enough to rethink what he had said after reading the lies and mistruths communicated in Heidi's issuance of the Beat. That's okay though, because the ride is nearly over.

Yeah Dennis is great I really miss his synopsis on Smallville and comics.

[THEDOC]

I meant about having auctions at conventions like THe Jam and eBay might get confusing as far as keeping bookkeeping records.

[Ian Boothby]

I'm afraid you won't be that lucky, "Gail" ...as I plan on being around comics for at least another 30 years. :D


On the bright side at least that means comics will still be around for 30 more years.


And you're right, nothing can stop you from going to the Kinkos and doing some of your own homemade comics but this has been a publicity clusterfuck for you and you need to back away, pay your bills, pay your lawsuits and think about what you've done. Find Jesus, Buddah, Kirby whoever you need to and just come back a better person.

[Ronée]

well then Rick, tell me how I refused to settle the matter the way you wanted? I said numerous times that I would sign any paper all you had to do was point me in the direction of this lawyer you have.

oh wait, is he invisible? is that what it is?

[THEDOC]

Ummm... yeah, riiiiight. Be sure to read my next blog. I'm willing to wager that you'll especially love its small press emphasis. :rolleyes:

I know of nothing in the website rules here that allows such actions. So this is the sad poor exception. Get your story straight, and have Mr. Waid in your back pocket. You're going to need him.

Don't worry Ian , you will be there in spirit and willl forward photos. I will seel out of any SP you send and if you want will make a SPA flyer for the show to hand out. Maybe make cards.

Dear Rick's Imaginary Lawyer,

Hey! How's it going?

Doesn't it suck to have a client who has left such a massive paper trail of deception and dishonesty, and such a large wake of people he's promised payment to and never delivered? And who has made egregious, horrifying comments based on race, gender, and sexuality? And who threatens people constantly with lawsuits, showing his complete ignorance of the law over and over again even when faced with the facts in black and white?

Man, if you existed, I'd feel bad for you, with a client like that!

And those same creators keep forwarding your mail, deadbeat. So I know exactly what you're telling them, same old threatening bullshit.

And save your waste, I can smell you from here already.

The auction is starting to take shape. We can expect donations from:

Kurt Busiek
Tony Isabella
Mark Waid
Larry Dixon
Mercedes Lackey
Troy Hickman
Colleen Doran
Taki Soma
James Owen

I'm hoping to hear back from several more creators over the new few days.

Tom, please add my name to the list and send me details to pass on to other pros. (I still haven't had any luck in viewing the UNSCREWED! site.)

Aloha,

Scott!

[Rick Olney]

Thank you for the kind words. It seems strange as "Rick" and I satrted out as fans with simular goals that we turned out so different.

People that stand in fecal matter up to there waist RARELY shake that scent, Lance. I suggest you step out into the cold to air yourself off.

My goals are still in place, and my contacts are still sound. I still maintain that Werthum's Superman complex theory has a great deal to do with all that has made this message thread as large as it is. It isn't me. It is each of you attempting to mob and use vigilante tactics. So sad...

[TomStillwell]

"Gail"
More to the truth, it is you that is done. I've sat back and watched you vilify and story spin, touting lie upon lie and I'm no less disgusted in your professional behavior. Be sure to read my next blog, as it touches upon what I'm going to learn today regarding your hateful online attacks. I feel sorry for you and people like Sarah Beach. Trolls like the many posting here in this oversized gutters cesspool are at home, but you and Sarah have an agenda of hate and it will consume you.

I know of nothing in the website rules here that allows such actions. So this is the sad poor exception. Get your story straight, and have Mr. Waid in your back pocket. You're going to need him.

Rick, do you ever back up anything you say with actions?

Four words sum you up pretty well:

Big talk, no do.

That's all you'll ever be. A big mouth wanting to be a big shot doing a whole lot of nothing.

[THEDOC]

I can. Although I'm not sure where I start it. at YABS or at Unscrewed? We already have an auction thread over at unscrewed.

I'll talk to Tim about the Catalyst story. :)

Probably "Unscrewed" as that is what is being affected by the auction.

[Kurt Busiek]

Hey, Gail --

Mike Carlin, Tom Palmer Jr. and Scott Dunbier all called.

They heard from Rick that you were done. They were delighted to hear it, and want to talk about the next issues. Plus, Dan asked, if you were done, did that mean you had time for new projects?

[Danny Donovan]

Go ahead Danny!

It's like Xavier and Magneto! Cut from the same cloth of idealisim, only to have one turned bitter, cold, vengeful, while the other strives for harmony among all..

Oh for the love of Stan Lee, my comics are coming true! :p Yay! now I'm going to play with irradiated insects in hopes of gaining powers and winding up with a hot redhead.

"Gail" ... you will learn a terribly hard lesson in the weeks and months to come. I suspect that you are as beloved as you are as a writer because people can't see the real ugly and twisted side to your personality.

Don't worry Iam , you will be theer in spirit and willl forward photos. I will seel out of any SP you send and if you want will make a SPA flyer for the show to hand out. Maybe make cards.

YOU dont have to do it, Doc, but maybe you can ask one of the people that will be there to write a report with Pics for SP! I know you'll probably be too busy that day to get the real overview of everything.

There should not be a legal issue with me as I DID the work and you accepted, nay PRAISED it!! You also offered me Dave's job more than once. I worked. you did not pay. you need to pay. end of damn story.

Ronee, I'm not discussing your situation or ANY of the specific talent under work-for-hire with me here. Your credibility is just as shot with me as you claim to dislike, distrust and abhor me. Fine. Just re-read your emails of yesterday, because that is that last I'll be communicating with you. You'll be dealt with fairly. But I'm not handling it.

[Kurt Busiek]

I KNOW! I've gone from having to turn down projects every week for lack of time, to having to turn down projects every week for lack of time!

I know it's rough, Gail, but take heart.

Sure I do...because I'm the one who has former friends and associates out for my blood for lies and cheating and threats, and is reviled by the entire comics community.

Google your name, Rick. It's nothing but people disgusted and aghast at your freakish behavior. You've destroyed your already damaged reputation completely.

And how many utter meltdowns have you had now? I can't remember, or maybe I can't count that high.

Did you ever pay a dime towards my husband's airfare, Rick?

Who's angry, Rick? I find you HILARIOUS.

The whining, the pleading, the lying, the sock puppets, the meltdowns, the cheating and not being able to keep the stories straight, the horrible writing, the awful grammar, the use of made-up words that don't exist, the calling other people names that apply much more truthfully to yourself, the idea that you have 'fans,' the idea that you'll be able to control the discussion of people you've cheated, it's all hilarious and desperate.

And nothings funnier than you desperately trying to erase your own words, gutless little deadbeat!

Face it, you're unintentionally a RIOT!

You sent an email that info was forthcoming and yet, like the checks u sent, never showed. Did the mail lose that too? Or was it a courier's fault this time? which story are you going to give me now?

[TomStillwell]

Hey Rick, are you going to pay Dave Rothe the $90 you owe him for making the Freedom 3 logo that's three years overdue?

How is it that people who aren't involved with any magic NDA nonsense you keep blathering on about haven't been paid all these years?

Did Gail travel back in time and somehow make you not pay those debts when due?

It's amazing. We have actual facts of debts not paid by you, that are still outstanding, yet everything hinges on a make believe vendetta the world is waging on Planet Olney. How many years back does that retroactively excuse you from being a man and paying what you owe?

You keep talking, Rick. I'll keep looking for the eventual bankruptcy you'll be filing.

[Gail Simone]

Uh, huh. And your track record says you never, ever follow through. Never.

He's used that 'the check's in the mail' bullshit so many times he ought to have it copywrited.

Y'know Danny I think of "Rick" more like Darth Vader. He seems in edhe beginning he had the right reasons and was a decent guy with then kids, but somewhere he lost his sight of what he was trying to accomplish and niw we have this bitter man.
Somewhere is that other Rick and I really hope someday he will come back. I still believe in the goodness of most folks. What would the past Rick say bout the presnt?

[Gail Simone]

He makes so many spelling and word use errors I stopped pointing them out.

It's the incorrect use of words that gets to me. Even worse than the made-up words he often uses, the constant use of the incorrect words for his intended meaning, all while trying to sound intelligent and superior, is funny, but sometimes headache-inducing.

And there's nothing wrong with making up words like Truthiness! and Jiggy! and Slappywag!

One day I'm gonna invent my own word... It'll be awesome. :p

But on a side note I AM SICK OF HEARING ABOUT WERTHAM. Every mother fucking thing out of somebody explaining something that's gone wrong in comics' mouth goes back to Wertham.

He was a nutjob, same as the parents that think the reason their kids are insane is because Dr. Dre is telling them to become felons. Sometimes people just plain suck. They've sucked from the dawn of time, they'll suck when the sun burns out.

I am sick of people playing the blame game, in government, in business, in 'heated debates' ---- It's just a waste of time to blame shortcomings on someone else. it doesn't matter WHOS fault it is. as long as it's fixed.

but then again, I'm obviously espousing madness and I should be shot.

[Gail Simone]

Scott Shaw's pattern predictions are amazing.

Scott was one of the people who warned me about Rick Olney well before the Mighty Shitty Con. Like a fool, I felt I had to keep my obligation because I'd already agreed to go. And of course, Scott pegged the situation exactly.

Heh. Good analysis.

I'm guessing I won't get a response from him. I just ... even after everything he has said, the verbal assaults, the attacks, the racist, homophobic, sexist, and generally disturbing language he has used, I'm *still* surprised when I read something like that.

Ironically, the only thing that ever made me wary of Mr. Shaw was the "!". The guy who screwed me over uses one and there was a resonance.

Then, I come here to share with you all, and I see peanut is back to provide more amusement for us all. And Matt has been doing a great job filling in for me! ;)

What more could I ask for?

[Matt Doc Martin]

Does Cafe Press do car air freshners? 'cause that would rock.

It could be shaped like an orca!




My biggest problem will be getting the smell right. I had hoped to meet peanut, but sadly, he will not be at MegaCon.

So, I plan on visiting a dump and seeking out old fish and rotted meat.
I figure it is a little better smelling than Olney, but you can only get so close.

Maybe you can visit a whaling ship...get a sense for the smell of fress orca?

Ooooh! What a lovely day this has been!

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!

Except in my case, it's the Mighty Joanne Mutch, one of the sweetest, kindest, and most talented indy writer/artists out there (or as Rick called her on this very thread, the "sick bitch," and "douche bag").

She's the creator of the wonderfully charming book (that actually came OUT, take THAT, Reeky Rick!), Rummblestrips!

And she sent me signed copies of all her books, and on the backing board, she drew this gorgeous elf character with the words:

#1 YABS RULE:


DON'T FUCK WITH GAIL


on it.

SQUEE!

Joanne, you rule!

Some people would do that...but it is too close to nature.


You need a stench that you cannot forget even years later.; Something that scars the very psyche.


You need BO and decay.

[Scott Shaw!]

What's the issue Scott? Have you not gotten your e-mail authentication yet? There've been a LOT of signups over the past few weeks. Things are backlogged.

Sarah and SK are working on it I hear. It took Jim and I days to get ours. :)

I don't know a thing about computers, but Jim MacQuarrie tells me that my ancient computer won't run the programs I need to log onto the UNSCREWED! site. I'd love to take part in the discussion there, but so far, I can't even read the posts there.

Sorry, I hate to interrupt the latest meltdown by the narcissistic, sociopathic, swindling, walking shitstain known as Rick Olney. (I wonder how long it will take him to start deleting his newly-posted rants, threats, lies and insults?)

Aloha,

Scott!

If you can call that wordslobber that Rick spews, 'writing.'

Your G4 350 should be boxed up and sent out within the week. I may even have some extra RAM for it.

Also, the old imac you're using as a doorstop would be able to handle the site.

...

Jim tells me too much, I know.

[Drink]

Just read the first couple hundred pages of this thread, and I can say that I don't want to buy a book that Rick is involved in now. I am aware that it isn't supporting the creators, but then again they'll probably not get money from it anyway...

I can't understand people like this. He's got all these people saying that he cheated them (And I very much doubt a mass conspiracy against him), and then he acts like he's the victim when they speak out about it? I'm aware I'm not in the position of publisher, and if I was I'd pay money to people, but if people criticized me, I wouldn't just go "You'll hear from my attorney.", I'd try to be civil about it, but perhaps that's where the two of us differ.

Also, I find it rather funny that he editted all his posts near the beginning of the thread, in case someone was to use those posts against him legally in court.

In any case, I'd say that this whole business has a lot of potential to mess up his rep, as well as being detrimental to the sales of his books. And when you're an Indie publisher, that's the last thing you want to do.

Hmmm.... I promised Matt I wouldn't get in the way of things. But since it's quiet I think it's okay try this. ;)

Try going directly here:

http://www.unscrewedcomic.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=1

then surfing the other forums from the drop down bar. I'm not sure what SK used to design the site, so I can't be sure what the technical problem would be. If you want PM me what JM said and I'll see if there's a patch or something you could download.

If it's just a simple thing like your java is out of date or something I could show you how to fix that through free updates.

Well, he deleted his posts...but we already had them.

So it was all for naught.

[Gail Simone]

I'm sure he's talking with his (snicker) 'fans,' and trying to figure out how to gift-wrap his waste. You know, big time wheeler-dealer stuff.

Gail

[TCJohnson]

And remember, from his myspace profile:

I never say anything I'm not willing to stand behind[

I love that! Rick shouldn't be writing horror, he should be writing comedy. He is a natural.

[Comcman]

Since we know he's still reading...

Hey Rick -

What's your all-too-real lawyer's name?

How about just a first name?

At the very least just MAKE UP A NAME, idiot. You know, do that thing you do, where you lie to everyone all the time.

JLK

well then Rick, tell me how I refused to settle the matter the way you wanted? I said numerous times that I would sign any paper all you had to do was point me in the direction of this lawyer you have.

oh wait, is he invisible? is that what it is?

I think I figured it out. His name is Harvey.

[TomStillwell]

Tom, please add my name to the list and send me details to pass on to other pros. (I still haven't had any luck in viewing the UNSCREWED! site.)

Aloha,

Scott!

Will Do, Scott. Thanks!

[Scott Shaw!]

Thanks, Gail, Typo Lad, Danny, Jim, SK716, Sarah and everyone else who's tried to help this old crumb-catcher. Your efforts and kind comments are greatly appreciated. and one of these days soon, I'll actually join all of you in the 21st Century.

Aloha,

Scott!

[TomStillwell]

Tom,

I'd be happy to send something your way.

PDS

Thanks so much, Paul. I'll be contacting you soon.

[the4thpip]

"Gail" ... you will learn a terribly hard lesson in the weeks and months to come. I suspect that you are as beloved as you are as a writer because people can't see the real ugly and twisted side to your personality.
You believe that you can continue to use hatred in making the matter concerning the talents that I owe better. Fine. Choke on it. Because you will.

Why does he remind me of the bird on the right?

[Sean_Jackson]

Hey, a LOT of people have problems with spelling. It's when you can't spell, puncuate, use words or grammar properly AND every post is full of smug fake superiority and insults about people's intelligence that one tends to look like a doofus idiot.

Gail

I passed a 4mm kidney stone yesterday and that was less painful than trying to decipher Rick's rambling posts.

[Spackling Compound]

Someone needs to auction off a "Olney Omnibus" that includes all his snipes, jabs, two-steps and blatant use of threat quotes from 90's B-list stars.


But, really, where's this blog he's speaking of? I'd like to read it and maybe cut-n-paste.

[the4thpip]

Bring a bag lunch, bitch. :rolleyes:

Where is it? Or is this something we don't advertise here? Sheesh, this is like asking about Gail's husband's airfare to Orca himself.
