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

[Typo Lad]

Mr. Olney,

To be up front, I am one of the editors working on UNSCREWED. I have no horse in this race other than wanting to give creators who say they were not paid a chance to get thier work out. It has nothing to do with you, as a person, and despite what you may believe is not a "Come, let us mock Rick Olney" deal.

It is about raising money for those awaiting payment. If those people were paid, UNSCREWED would, I suspect, go away tomorrow.

I hope you understand that.

[Gail Simone]

Again, you've made some very bold and untrue claims. The lines of opinion were crossed here long ago. So, as the various actions on my side of this move forward and one by one the 'fruits' drop off the lie and smear tree here ... we'll indeed see who was truthful and factual versus shooting their mouth off.

Yeah, I'm slummin' ... figured I drop in and read a little. Heh. What losers you all are to allow yourselves to fall to heor worship and be sucked into legal problems by the "professionals" in this message thread and locked in with the UNSCREWED project.

Hard lesson coming for a bunch of you, folks...


Bring it on, deadbeat.

:)

Gail

[Typo Lad]

You of all people should know better! ;)
I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand that.

"I of all people?"

My sole interaction with you had been in this thread, trying to get answers to questions. I believe that I have been nothing but fair and respectful, despite claims made by people I consider personal friends.

If you could please explain what you are implying by that, it would be appreciated.

[Rick Olney]

I'm so proud



I'm not going to respond to him, of course, but it's once again clear that he's talking without benefit of a lawyer.

It's not libel to express one's opinion, direct readers to a website where they can get details of a situation, and to caution readers against doing business with someone. All constitutionally-protected speech.

And, as I've said elsewhere and maybe even here, I hereby grant permission for anyone to repost my warning in the venues available to them.

I'm continuing to get grateful e-mails from folks who had not been priviously aware of Olney, so there remains a need to spread the word.

Tony

Tony,
Your opinion of me is your own and your right. But when coupled with online mob mentality and interlaced with ethic as to your cause for concern when this side of the matter doesn't concern or involve you ... far as I know ... then the ethic you're employing has been changed. Don't believe me? Ask your lawyer. Explain to him exactly what you've said and done and allow him to ask you real questions.

[Rick Olney]

Bring it on, deadbeat.

:)

Gail

"Gail" ... be sure to keep your sheep shears sharpened. You'll be needing them sooner than you think to earn a living.

Nope, I still don't speak Olney.

[TonyIsabella]

My jaw just dropped. I honestly was not expecting a return.

He's running more scared than usual. He thought he could continue to solicit people for his various enterprises. But, once he went public again - on Super Hero News - the only moral choice I could make was to respond in that venue and to further spread the word about him.

And it is spreading.

And it will continue to spread.

I've been threatened by much much scarier people than him.

And, yet, somehow, I'm still around.

Realistically, it is questionable whether Olney has the funds to pay his debts or that his activities, heinous as we might consider them, will land him in the hoosegow. But, for a guy of no ability or means to be cut off from deluding himself and others that he has or had any meaningful role in comics might be the worst punishment of all.

His capacity for self-delusion seems high and maybe there's always another sucker around the corner. But...

Every person we direct to the Unscrewed website, every person who reads my warning about him, is one less person he can fool.

Tony

[Rick Olney]

If you could please explain what you are implying by that, it would be appreciated.

Yeah, okay... whatever. Only I'm not here to help you feel appreciation. So don't bother asking.

[Typo Lad]

"Gail" ... be sure to keep your sheep shears sharpened. You'll be needing them sooner than you think to earn a living.
Mr. Olney, surely you see why people find statments like this amusing? Ms. Simone was just a guest at one of the most high-profile conventions in the US. She participated in numerous panels and events. There was a line to see her when she was signing. Fellow creators seemed to be enjoying her company quite a bit.

Her career at DC does not seem to be in any danger. Indeed, judging by the amound of titles she currently has on the shelves, it appears to be doing quite well. Her sales are brisk and her popularity continues.

As someone who does not enjoy when others make what you feel to be baseless statements about you, why would you engage in the same?

[the4thpip]

Gilbert Gottfried got to you, too, huh?

I'm just happy to see you all getting along and having some focus to your miserible empty lives before the rug gets legally pulled out from under those of you that have passed the litmus test for libel.

Raise your hand if you've actually talked to an attorney! :)

[Gail Simone]

Maybe if you weren't so gutless and could answer actual questions instead of being such a coward, people would actuall be scared of you as you delude yourself into thinking we are, Rick.

1) Did you, as you swore here twice, pay a dime to my husband's airfare? Did you even reimburse me fully for my own?

2) Have you paid even a DIME owed to Chuck Dixon, Val Staples, and the many, many others here that you have cheated and lied to?

Simple questions, Rick. Are you man enough to answer them without your usual cowardly evasion?

That's why no one's scared. Because you're a coward.

No amount of thread deleting and running will change what you've said and emailed people, Rick. Everyone's seen it, and you made yourself a laughingstock. Your name is now synonymous with "deadbeat," and in the many weeks since you were exposed, you've gotten no closer to dealing with the people you've cheated fairly and honestly.

Can you answer those two simple questions without your usual gutless word-mincing?

Don't worry, we all know you won't. It's just fun to watch a cowardly liar squirm.

Gail

[Typo Lad]

Yeah, okay... whatever. Only I'm not here to help you feel appreciation. So don't bother asking.
Mr. Olney, you confuse me greatly.

I've been on the endge of the comic book industry for roughly a decade now. In that time I have been a writer, talent agent, editor and publisher. I have never had an interaction quite like the ones with you.

I am trying to be polite. You are being evasive. Your "you of all people" claims some sort of knowledge of me. What knowledge of me can you possibly have?

Also, just to correct your english, I assume you mean to say "I'm not here to help you feel appreciated".

Which leads to the question... why are you here? It does not seem to be to defend yourself against these allegations. if so, you would address them. Instead you make veiled threats.

Why are you here?

[the4thpip]

your miserible empty lives

You're talking to people with jobs, boy.

Oh, and my suggestion to get a browser with a spell-checker stands.

[Gail Simone]

I'm just happy to see you all getting along and having some focus to your miserible empty lives before the rug gets legally pulled out from under those of you that have passed the litmus test for libel.

Oh, my god, the lying deadbeat who has threatened lawsuits against everyone who ever disagreed with him on the net for ten years (without filing a single suit in all that time) is SO SO SCARY!

:)

You're a joke, Rick. EVERYONE is laughing at you. I can't tell you how many pros and readers and even journalists came up to make fun of you. It was hysterical.

Gail

[NatGertler]

What losers you all are to allow yourselves to fall to heor worship and be sucked into legal problems by the "professionals" in this message thread and locked in with the UNSCREWED project.Well, gee, Rick, you've got a years-overdue comic book, you've publicly admitted that people are due money that you have not paid, you've posted "iKill", you've desperately tried to delete your words, you've made visible promises that you've visibly reneged on or failed to live up to... and you're concerned about someone else being a "loser"?

How about you pay people what they're owed? Not awaiting them to jump through more hoops for you, not waiting until your mind is unoccupied with other matters. Just make good on your debts. Because you have enough visible history of failing to follow through on your threats, plans, and promises that it's hard to take new ones seriously.

[Gail Simone]

Raise your hand if you find Rick's empty threats scary.

What? No one?

Figured. Something about ten years of being a cowardly weirdo tends to make a guy seem less scary than he hopes.

Gail

[Hybrid2]

Yeah, okay... whatever. Only I'm not here to help you feel appreciation. So don't bother asking.

Woah!

In context,that reply made absolutely zero sence.

:confused:

[the4thpip]

I find his spelling and grammar scary, does that count?

[Gail Simone]

Notice how he always runs when faced with a direct question?

Good lord, I've known braver eight year olds.

Gail

[Gail Simone]

Woah!

In context,that reply made absolutely zero sence.

:confused:

He reads as well as he writes.

And he's one of the shittiest, least talented writers I've ever known.

How's that magic fish that's your only friend, Rick?

Gail

[Typo Lad]

Raise your hand if you find Rick's empty threats scary.

Is "disturbing" the same thing as "scary"? I find the intimation that he somehow knows me disturbing.

I'm going to be wracking my brain all day to try to remember if I had any dealings with him, back in the day.

[Rick Olney]

Mr. Olney, surely you see why people find statments like this amusing? Ms. Simone was just a guest at one of the most high-profile conventions in the US. She participated in numerous panels and events. There was a line to see her when she was signing. Fellow creators seemed to be enjoying her company quite a bit.

As someone who does not enjoy when others make what you feel to be baseless statements about you, why would you engage in the same?

Her popularity is not as 'solid' as you (and she) might believe. But I'm not at liberty to say anything else. I just hope she's had advice of legal counsel regarding her personal attacks towards me directly that, again, go outside the rights and legal definition of personal opinion.

Anyway, on the Benny G. Leal subject -- Benny joined the ORComx APA a number of years ago after joining ORCA to interact with other comic book readers. Remarks attempting to connect me to his other personal interests have been noted and again, fall outside legally acceptable standards of behavior. My side of this will also be making his legal representation aware of what's been stated here and by whom. Mr. Leal's personal life choices are his own. And, unlike the bunch of you... I don't judge outside of proper context. Likewise with the harrassment emails sent to members of my family and the online hack attempts. There is no rush here to get it right the first and last time. Clarity and truth is coming.

[Matt Doc Martin]

Again, you've made some very bold and untrue claims. The lines of opinion were crossed here long ago. So, as the various actions on my side of this move forward and one by one the 'fruits' drop off the lie and smear tree here ... we'll indeed see who was truthful and factual versus shooting their mouth off.

Yeah, I'm slummin' ... figured I drop in and read a little. Heh. What losers you all are to allow yourselves to fall to heor worship and be sucked into legal problems by the "professionals" in this message thread and locked in with the UNSCREWED project.

Hard lesson coming for a bunch of you, folks...


How is showing YOUR OWN WORDS bold and untrue claims? Oh...you lie. Gotcha.

Welcome back, peanut.

[the4thpip]

Is "disturbing" the same thing as "scary"? I find the intimation that he somehow knows me disturbing.

I'm going to be wracking my brain all day to try to remember if I had any dealings with him, back in the day.

Maybe an uncomfortable gay experience at summer camp?


What?
That's the first thing that always comes to my mind. Well, not the uncomfortable part.

[Gail Simone]

You're talking to people with jobs, boy.

Oh, and my suggestion to get a browser with a spell-checker stands.

This is always my favorite bit...that he claims people with actual lives, happy relationships and excellent careers are 'jealous' of him.

But I say again, who could POSSIBLY be jealous of a pasty, untalented, freakishly obsessive weirdo who is utterly despised by everyone who has ever worked with him, who has a rep for being a lying deadbeat who cheats even his close friends?

Ick. The IDEA is disturbing.

Gail

[Matt Doc Martin]

My jaw just dropped. I honestly was not expecting a return.

You of all people should know better! ;)

After all, Rick Olney DID say he would NEVER COME BACK HERE!

So naturally, here he is!

[Rick Olney]

He reads as well as he writes.

And he's one of the shittiest, least talented writers I've ever known.

How's that magic fish that's your only friend, Rick?

Gail

"Gail" ... I'd have to simply ask that you enjoy it while you have it. It is fleeting, dear.

[Typo Lad]

Maybe an uncomfortable gay experience at summer camp?

What?
That's the first thing that always comes to my mind. Well, not the uncomfortable part.

Don't you think that's sort of uncalled for?

That said, i spent my entire school career in all-male institutions. With that in mind, it's suprising no-one ever flirted with me until senior year.

Looks in mirror.

Okay, not so suprising.

[the4thpip]

"Gail" ... I'd have to simply ask that you enjoy it while you have it. It is fleeting, dear.

Hey, how did he know that Gail is currently enjoying a delicious Willy Wonka bar?

[Typo Lad]

Who is Benn G Leel? Did I miss something? Sorry, it's hard to keep track of this thread, what with balancing day job, family life, writing pitches and the occasional freelance offer.

It's amazing how the professional writers in this thread do it, if you ask me.

[Rick Olney]

After all, Rick Olney DID say he would NEVER COME BACK HERE!

So naturally, here he is!

Get a lawyer, Matt! Outside of the TOTS and first tier talent ... you're first to go under the legal knife. Your actions and words have proven that you deserve the utmost attention. Slander and libel, threats and harrassment.

Besides, any smart person always kew that I'd be back here in good time. I'm just happy that so many of you have 'found' each other. Makes cleaning this mess up legally easier.

[WhiteRose]

"Gail" ... I'd have to simply ask that you enjoy it while you have it. It is fleeting, dear.

Why do you use the little quotation marks around her name all the time?

[Matt Doc Martin]

Her popularity is not as 'solid' as you (and she) might believe. But I'm not at liberty to say anything else. I just hope she's had advice of legal counsel regarding her personal attacks towards me directly that, again, go outside the rights and legal definition of personal opinion.

Yeah, Rick, I'm so unpopular I had to turn down only twenty offers from comics and hollywood this past weekend. Boo hoo.

And screw you, weirdo. Either sue (which you won't, as I have enough evidence of you screwing even your closest friends IN YOUR OWN WORDS, to make your life hell for a long time to come) or go back to being the whining crybaby who deletes every post, every thread, because he's so afraid of standing behind his own words.

No one's scared, deadbeat. Do I sound scared?

Here, let me make sure it's clear: RICK OLNEY IS A LYING DEADBEAT WHO CHEATED ME AND MANY OTHERS IN A PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR GOING BACK YEARS.

Do I sound scared? I've known scarier goldfish.

And of course, you remain too gutless to answer my two direct questions.

Must be rough going through life as a deadbeat AND a coward.

Gail

[Typo Lad]

Why do you use the little quotation marks around her name all the time?
Because it is a pen name, and that seems to be a bone of contention for him.

One would assume that he does the same when refering to "Mark Twain", "Franklin W Dixon", "Stan Lee" or "Jack Kirby".

One would assume.

[Dreadstar]

...
Your opinion of me is your own and your right. But when coupled with online mob mentality and interlaced with ethic as to your cause for concern when this side of the matter doesn't concern or involve you ... far as I know ... then the ethic you're employing has been changed....

Gail

Again, "Gail" ... you'll have a chance to prove all that you state and imply via what you perceive as your opinion of me. CYA!

[Gail Simone]

Why do you use the little quotation marks around her name all the time?

Because I use a pen name, and Rick, who knows nothing about publishing, comics, or the English language, wants to make that seem deceptive, even though it's been an open secret in the industry for years. Lots of writers use them, but Rick's too addled to know that, apparently.

It's his idea of 'wit.'

Actually, I'm jealous. I'm trying to get on that short list, myself. We'll see what happens.

[Matt Doc Martin]

Get a lawyer, Matt! Outside of the TOTS and first tier talent ... you're first to go under the legal knife. Your actions and words have proven that you deserve the utmost attention. Slander and libel, threats and harrassment.

Besides, any smart person always kew that I'd be back here in good time. I'm just happy that so many of you have 'found' each other. Makes cleaning this mess up legally easier.

Smart people know you lie. YOU SAID you wouldn't be back. That is why you now are.

Secondly, You can't get me for anything, dipshit. I submitted a complaint about charity fraud AFTER TALKING WITH ST JUDES TO DEMONSTRATE YOU NEVER MADE A DONATION OR HAD PERMISSION TO USE THEIR LOGO.

Third: I will warn people BY USING YOUR OWN CLAIMS AND WORDS. So if you want to get after someone, I'd suggest you look in the mirror. When you brag about not paying people you owe, other folks might get nervous about getting paid.

Fourth, YOU ARE A CHRONIC LIAR, and if you have an attorney, NO ONE KNOWS WHO IT IS, no matter that you claimed EVERYONE would hear from him in a few weeks...months ago.

Lastly, do you want to talk threats, Rick "Leg Breaker, Hospital Sender, Surprise, iKill" Olney? DO YOU?

Didn't think so.

[Papergirl]

There will come a point, when he tries to sue EVERYONE IN THE WORLD, that he'll get to know the term "frivolous lawsuits" and won't be allowed to file them. When the judges have become familiar with all he has done, and all the evidence against him, he will most certainally be laughed out of court. Slander isn't slander if it's true. "didn't you just try to sue XXXXX for this same thing?" "Uh, yes judge, I tried to tell you they are ALL out to get me" - "Well, have you paid anyone yet?" - "Uh, no judge, I was told I have to settle all my court cases before I can." - "So, you're suing this person for saying you haven't paid anyone, and can't pay anyone until everyone stops saying you haven't paid anyone" - "That's right sir" - "Well...I suggest you go pay someone"

Don't worry...

Heh. As if.

~Bev

[Gail Simone]

Again, "Gail" ... you'll have a chance to prove all that you state and imply via what you perceive as your opinion of me. CYA!

So you admit you're a gutless coward who won't answer those two questions?

And you're running away again?

This is why no one's afraid of you, Rick. You're all threats, but you run like a gutless coward when someone faces you head on, every single time.

Answer the questions. Be a fucking MAN for once.

Gail

[Papergirl]

As soon as he lists guest, I am contacting them. I will advise them to get payment up front and again, point them to RICK OLNEY'S OWN WORDS. Then, if they choose to go to his "con" (not that it will happen anyhow), it is on them alone. They will be informed.

Again, you've made some very bold and untrue claims. The lines of opinion were crossed here long ago. So, as the various actions on my side of this move forward and one by one the 'fruits' drop off the lie and smear tree here ... we'll indeed see who was truthful and factual versus shooting their mouth off.

Yeah, I'm slummin' ... figured I drop in and read a little. Heh. What losers you all are to allow yourselves to fall to heor worship and be sucked into legal problems by the "professionals" in this message thread and locked in with the UNSCREWED project.

blahblahblah... Say something useful, peanut.

[Cam63]

"Gail" ... be sure to keep your sheep shears sharpened. You'll be needing them sooner than you think to earn a living.

That's the best empty threat I've read in a while, Fuck Knuckle.

[Gail Simone]

Please, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE stop just throwing words together and TRY to actually communicate what you're thinking, for the love of god.

I KNOW.

And he calls himself a WRITER.

It makes me sick to think about. And wait til you read his magic fish story. It's the saddest piece of crap I've ever read.

Gail

My jaw just dropped. I honestly was not expecting a return.

You of all people should know better! ;)

You knew I needed something to do today, didn't you?

Quoted. And proving you a liar. Again.

Gail

I...see.

I didn't even realise it was a pen name! I am incredibly tickled by this :D

[Matt Doc Martin]

That's the best empty threat I've read in a while, Fuck Knuckle.

Maybe he confuses Oregon with Australia? Or the sheep in his head are whispering to him again?

[Dreadstar]

Again, "Gail" ... you'll have a chance to prove all that you state and imply via what you perceive as your opinion of me.

Christ. You used twice as many words in that sentence than you needed.

"gail, you'll have a chance to prove all your implications against me."


Be succinct, not pompous.

Thought you were never coming back here, peanut?

~Bev

[SteveForbes]

Realistically, it is questionable whether Olney has the funds to pay his debts or that his activities, heinous as we might consider them, will land him in the hoosegow. But, for a guy of no ability or means to be cut off from deluding himself and others that he has or had any meaningful role in comics might be the worst punishment of all.

Tony

He HAS to have the funds, Tony! Don't you know that he's putting on a con in June? :eek:

-(don't believe the hype) llama

[Matt Doc Martin]

I...see.

I didn't even realise it was a pen name! I am incredibly tickled by this :D

I didn't either in the beginning, but unlike "Rick Olney", I didn't much care. She can call herself Bozo the Martian and she would still be a real person.

[Gail Simone]

That's the best empty threat I've read in a while, Fuck Knuckle.

He deletes his posts, he deletes websites in utter terror, you can smell the fear, he knows I have mounds of evidence of his lies in his own words, and he still thinks I'm afraid of him.

Rick, I was NEVER afraid of you. I find you comical, yes, but scary? Never.

I'll say it again.

YOU CHEATED AND LIED TO ME, YOU CHEATED DOZENS OF PEOPLE AND LIED ABOUT IT, YOU'RE A DEADBEAT LIAR, YOU THREATED PEOPLE WITH PHYSICAL VIOLENCE.

Want more? Say the word.

You're not scary, Rick.

Sorry!

Gail

[NatGertler]

Clarity and truth is coming.Is there some reason you've not already brought clarity and truth?

[Papergirl]

Bring it on, deadbeat.

"Gail" ... be sure to keep your sheep shears sharpened. You'll be needing them sooner than you think to earn a living.

Awwww, more "threats" from Dick.

~Bev

[Cam63]

Get a lawyer, Matt! Outside of the TOTS and first tier talent ... you're first to go under the legal knife. Your actions and words have proven that you deserve the utmost attention. Slander and libel, threats and harrassment.

Besides, any smart person always kew that I'd be back here in good time. I'm just happy that so many of you have 'found' each other. Makes cleaning this mess up legally easier.

You're as useless as a dolphin's shoelace.

[Papergirl]

I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand that.

"I of all people?"

My sole interaction with you had been in this thread, trying to get answers to questions. I believe that I have been nothing but fair and respectful, despite claims made by people I consider personal friends.

If you could please explain what you are implying by that, it would be appreciated.

Yeah, okay... whatever. Only I'm not here to help you feel appreciation. So don't bother asking.

What happened? they let you have your internet back?

~Bev

[Cam63]

Why do you use the little quotation marks around her name all the time?

He's an idiot.

[Papergirl]

He's running more scared than usual. He thought he could continue to solicit people for his various enterprises. But, once he went public again - on Super Hero News - the only moral choice I could make was to respond in that venue and to further spread the word about him.

And it is spreading.

And it will continue to spread.

I've been threatened by much much scarier people than him.

And, yet, somehow, I'm still around.

Realistically, it is questionable whether Olney has the funds to pay his debts or that his activities, heinous as we might consider them, will land him in the hoosegow. But, for a guy of no ability or means to be cut off from deluding himself and others that he has or had any meaningful role in comics might be the worst punishment of all.

His capacity for self-delusion seems high and maybe there's always another sucker around the corner. But...

Every person we direct to the Unscrewed website, every person who reads my warning about him, is one less person he can fool.

Tony

I'm just happy to see you all getting along and having some focus to your miserible empty lives before the rug gets legally pulled out from under those of you that have passed the litmus test for libel.

Raise your hand if you've actually talked to an attorney! :)

Keep talking, Dick. Keep on burying yourself.

~Bev

[Papergirl]

Mr. Olney, surely you see why people find statments like this amusing? Ms. Simone was just a guest at one of the most high-profile conventions in the US. She participated in numerous panels and events. There was a line to see her when she was signing. Fellow creators seemed to be enjoying her company quite a bit.

Her career at DC does not seem to be in any danger. Indeed, judging by the amound of titles she currently has on the shelves, it appears to be doing quite well. Her sales are brisk and her popularity continues.

As someone who does not enjoy when others make what you feel to be baseless statements about you, why would you engage in the same?

Her popularity is not as 'solid' as you (and she) might believe. But I'm not at liberty to say anything else. I just hope she's had advice of legal counsel regarding her personal attacks towards me directly that, again, go outside the rights and legal definition of personal opinion.

Anyway, on the Benny G. Leal subject -- Benny joined the ORComx APA a number of years ago after joining ORCA to interact with other comic book readers. Remarks attempting to connect me to his other personal interests have been noted and again, fall outside legally acceptable standards of behavior. My side of this will also be making his legal representation aware of what's been stated here and by whom. Mr. Leal's personal life choices are his own. And, unlike the bunch of you... I don't judge outside of proper context. Likewise with the harrassment emails sent to members of my family and the online hack attempts. There is no rush here to get it right the first and last time. Clarity and truth is coming.

Her popularity is a shitload higher than yours, Dick.

~Bev

[Gail Simone]

He's an idiot.

Nailed it in one.

Don't you find it hilarious that he FINALLY gets recognized in the industry, something he's been praying for every day for years, and it's as a lying deadbeat?

Well, unlike the Ric Ollie toy and the Bridges program and the 99 cent comics, he actually EARNED this.

Just a quick question: does Mr. Leal know that he's now an exclusive TLE artist?

-(not expecting an answer to a simple yes or no question) llama

[Cam63]

I...see.

I didn't even realise it was a pen name! I am incredibly tickled by this :D

She calls her biro " Mr. Wright. "

[Papergirl]

He reads as well as he writes.

And he's one of the shittiest, least talented writers I've ever known.

How's that magic fish that's your only friend, Rick?

Gail

"Gail" ... I'd have to simply ask that you enjoy it while you have it. It is fleeting, dear.

Not that you would know. You've never had it to begin with.

~Bev

[Gail Simone]

It's this simple Rick.

Answer the questions, or...

...run like the gutless coward you are.


Which is it?

Two simple questions. And don't worry, we all know you won't answer.

Goodbye, coward!

Jeez, I hope he doesn't run for office.

After all, Rick Olney DID say he would NEVER COME BACK HERE!

So naturally, here he is!

Except that it's not libel OR slander when it's the truth, peanut.

Not that you would know the meaning of THAT word.

~Bev

[Papergirl]

This is always my favorite bit...that he claims people with actual lives, happy relationships and excellent careers are 'jealous' of him.

But I say again, who could POSSIBLY be jealous of a pasty, untalented, freakishly obsessive weirdo who is utterly despised by everyone who has ever worked with him, who has a rep for being a lying deadbeat who cheats even his close friends?

Ick. The IDEA is disturbing.

Gail

Again, "Gail" ... you'll have a chance to prove all that you state and imply via what you perceive as your opinion of me. CYA!

It's like you can't be in two places at once. You've stopped posting on Jim's forum (probably because you weren't getting enough attention, what with not being able to bring this stuff up like you do here), and so now you're back.

WHY you're back is a mystery, but then, so is the Loch Ness monster.

Hey! That's it! Someone fully paid by YOR is like a legendary creature! There are claims that it's been done, but it has yet to bear up under scientific scrutiny!

[Cam63]

Hmm... No bans...

Can we duct tape him to the wall and throw food at him then ?

[Danny Donovan]

Just a thing. I have to admit I really think that "your time is fleeting" malarky is just low-class. EVERYONE'S TIME IS FLEETING. Do you think you come in and stay on top forever? No, you come in, you work, eventually someone else gets the spotlight, you keep plugging away, and maintaining quality work and it comes back round to you.

It's the thing about freelancing, it's feast or famine EVERY DAY UNTIL YOU DIE. I can name at least 10 people off the top of my head that were HUGE 10 years ago, that have moved onto other oppertunities once things started drying up in comics.

I would hope EVERYONE savors the good times while they have it, not just people that are threatened, because it makes those times when things suck, all the better. Looking back on things you actually accomplished with pride, and striving to accomplish more.

meh. now I'm annoyed.

When exactly was that law against 'opinion' passed, Moby? Just curious, since you seem to have quite a strong 'opinion' against everyone here and some of us might like to know what legal journal to find that in.

Y'know, building that case and all.

Clarity? Dude, you haven't said any one clear thing this entire thread. Clarity means to be clear. And when posters confront you for clarity things murk up. Did you not pay the people you still owe? And if not, how can you in good conscience set up anything else until your other expenses have been paid?

Since I don't quite feel like being drunk this early in the morning, I'll have to get some six packs of cream soda. The games afoot! For the rest of the day, cookies and cream soda for me every time I hear the words legal, lawyer or any words related to, and NDA. Who's with me?!

Finally, nobody's judging Leal. As the very talented Reverend Smooth has stated, artists do what they have to do for a living. However considering color scheme and style of your image, it does give the impression of something a tad more dubious. Especially considering the name of your company and your image of choice. It seemed creepy to begin with. Now...well...*shrugs

Hack attempts? Suuuurree....

I'd like to know what they are guilty of. If a murderer, rapist, sex offender, or other unsavory type was around kids in any capacity, I'd be pretty unhappy. Also, Sony and Marvel would probably be interested re: the Spiderman appearance.

Oh! And you still haven't answered my question. Just because you're slow, I'll repeat it for you: Does Mr. Leal know that he's exclusive to TLE?

Oh, yeah! And just how much does it cost to put on a show? You know, since you've done it numerous times. Wait. You're not going to answer that one. Guestimation, and all. Okay, here's a better one- how much did it cost you to put on any ONE show that went off? Let's go with the show Gail attended. How much did it cost to put on that show?

Two questions, and more than likely no answers.

Yeah, Rick, I'm so unpopular I had to turn down only twenty offers from comics and hollywood this past weekend. Boo hoo.

And screw you, weirdo. Either sue (which you won't, as I have enough evidence of you screwing even your closest friends IN YOUR OWN WORDS, to make your life hell for a long time to come) or go back to being the whining crybaby who deletes every post, every thread, because he's so afraid of standing behind his own words.

I won't be, huh?

:rolleyes: Man, are you ever caught up in your 'hollywood' offers. This is EXACTLY what I just described about Tony. What is it with 'pro' writers all full-of-themselves, basking in that limelight and losing touch with civil law?

Where IS Tony's friend, Bob?

I'd appreciate a totally non-connected legal opinion on all the libel and layers of lies alleged here about me.

I'm betting either Bob knows better, he's busy, or Tony ate him. Anybody seen Bob lately? :p

[DocAbsurd]

Tony, you're pathetic.

I have not asked after you by what you have said. I will though at my next legal meeting. 'Course, us slightly plump types often tumble when we fall off our feet.

You're no less the blowhard you've ever been. Maybe THE biggest example of a writer that has gained and kept his fan folllowing by sheer crying and bemoaning, while pumping himself up as the liberal crusader. Well... enjoy it. It comes with a price.

Hey, Moby, wouldn't the above be considered your 'opinion', since you seem to be the only one holding that view of Tony's career?

Y'know, according to the 'law' against opinions you mentioned earlier to Gail, I think he'd be in his right to haul your ever-expanding behind into court over defamation, especially since he does have one those, whaddya call 'em, careers.

Rules apply to everyone, Moby, not just to those 'against' you.

No one's scared, deadbeat. Do I sound scared?

Here, let me make sure it's clear: RICK OLNEY IS A LYING DEADBEAT WHO CHEATED ME AND MANY OTHERS IN A PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR GOING BACK YEARS.

Do I sound scared? I've known scarier goldfish.

And of course, you remain too gutless to answer my two direct questions.

Must be rough going through life as a deadbeat AND a coward.

Ah, but opinions have repercussions, Moby, as you're so fond of reminding everyone.

Like this opinion:

That's nice, but the ICC (and subsequent logo) is all Tim's. I erased the myspace page, and the Yahoo.com egroup. It can either be worked with or blow to the dust. I want nothing to do with small press and those people composing the cliques within it.

Y'oughta attach that to your little message about how the MMC welcomes small press creators.

You know I haven't slept in over a day and a half and this is not helping. lol. But honestly, I don't see why people need to lash out with the name-calling. The sheer amount of stuff available to discuss is mind-boggling.

DocA, I'm not surprised that people are finding themselves without a boat to float on because they were not cheering loud enough or had the gall to think all this is just absolutely idiotic... It's something of a par for the course with this 'un.

It's a technique that works a lot better than non-production of material. Really.

I've had several lawyers crawing this topic and I'm assured that once the linking documentation is completed ... things will begin to happen.

This isn't even about TOTS or the first tier 'talents' owed by TightLip Entertainment either. It is about a bunch of struggling 'talents' feeling and trying to feel good about themselves. It is about one industry "pro" wiping the arse of another industry "pro" ... in this case, initially to distract from the original facts of another writer screwing himself by taking his NDA as nonsense.

There ARE actual facets of my personal life here that some people will be called to answer on how they came up with their assumptions. Lie after lie after lie isn't FACT. It is nothing. Again, I hope those of you taking the lead of people like "Gail Simone" and Matt "Doc" Martin are happy with how you may have compromised your lives.

[Joshua Pantalleresco]

Then accept that it makes no sense. There are greater mysteries than the lack of Olney's grammar. You know, like 42 and how they get the caramel in the caramilk bar. Some things truly boggle the mind. Once you understand this, you can avoid the destiny of correction.

Or do what I do. Think of the teacher in Charlie Brown whenever he makes no sense in grammar or the written word. It works wonders on clarity.

Hardly a blight on my life, fella. So far all the stuff I've been reading on various websites puts you firmly in the wrong. And a whole mess of it is from people I respect in the industry who haven't steered me wrong in the past.

Nat,

I don't doubt that. But the mean spirited social agenda isn't going to gain him any new 'fans' ... no more than it will give his life what he seems to show is lacking. "Fandom" has changed greatly since Tony got his recognition.

Personally, I know Tony and I don't like each other. But I doidn't bring his name up in my discussions and conversations until he thought by talking about me ... it would make him a bigger person.

I've got pics of him and his son back in 2003 attending the MMC. We were happy to have them here that day. I can and will be able to disprove any negative comment about that 2003 event with fact. Pictures also say a thousand words. So Tony is free to run his mouth for as long as he's foolish enough.

Now, as to addressing TLE's production efforts -- We're still in business and still planning on having a representation set for June. I never approached this publishing endeavor as wanting to be a "Tony Isabella" ... so much as I merely needed to take a shot at my self publishing goal. I don't stand on the shoulders of other people where my writing is concerned. Several here believe it to be juvenile crap. We live in a free world. Please don't buy anything I've written or plan to print, market, and release. Thank you.

[Dreadstar]

Mort, look into Sturgeon's THE HOST pertaining to what I think of Ms. "Simone" ... and Mr. Isabella. "Gail Simone" is a token writer, imo. The other guy is simply here to long. (Again, imo)

A token writer with talent and integrity. Gail, how dare you!

BTW, Moby, Sturgeon never wrote a story called 'the Host'. However, 'the Perfect Host (http://books.google.com/books?id=TyfBfZGq-x4C&pg=RA1-PA92&lpg=RA1-PA92&dq=theodore+sturgeon+perfect+host&source=web&ots=BTkR6uJq5T&sig=FlPb7QuaJd7qXkfpxk7lj4V93P8)' can be found here. Still dunno what that has to do with Gail . . .

Didja know Sturgeon used the pen name 'E. Waldo Hunter'? Why are you quoting someone who obviously doesn't exist according to your rules?

Sturgeon said, '90% of everything is crap.' Did he know you, perchance?

[WhiteRose]

I fucking well platonically love you, man.

[Danny Donovan]

I'm sleep deprived and trying to be polite so if it comes off wrong I apologise at the start.

First, considering Gail a token is just showing ignorance. That's like saying that she's the only working woman in comics, God forbid we actually look at folks like Christina Z, Holly Golightly, Jann Jones (an EDITOR no less) everyone over at sequential tart, Colleen Doran, That canadian cyborg that vexes you so... (sorry Johanna, I had to make the joke.)

And to say "Tony's a guy that's been around too long." is it my imagination or were you the one who always spoke about what a shame it is that the older talent seems to get pushed to the side for the kids that don't know how to tell a story or draw a purty picture? I'm fairly certain that was one of your diatribes.

So basically the thing is, Tony is one of the FEW PEOPLE in this business that has maintained a strong readership over DECADES. Books were written ABOUT him. (okay, maybe not just about him, but if you ever read that Milestone Comics, and their fans book there's a lot about Black Goliath, and Black Lightning and Tony's contribution to characters of color in there.)

To me it's sour grapes. Lord knows I'd like to do an episode of Justice League, or Legion of Super-Heroes like Gail (actually I did almost get a chance to put something before the story editors of JL but I chickened out.) or have characters as long lasting and beloved as Tony's who STILL sees Black Lightning in the pages of Outsiders, and Green Arrow whether he's writing him or not.

Will I? Perhaps. Perhaps not. You can never tell with this business.

But both people deserve respect for making their dreams a reality without having to threaten, conjole or otherwise subvert the hard work of others.

[Typo Lad]

I had to resist the urge to get on line to see Billy Tucci at NYCC and ask about this thread, as I felt it would be creepy.

Tom, did you make sure that the name didn't change? It could still be TLE, but the letters/words could make it a different entity. Just something to think about.

Also, his wife may be out of it now, which would be a decent thing to do. Think of it as a tax thing with the injured spouse. He brought this all on himself (although I personally think she should be held accountable for some of it as well- an accomplice after the fact at least), so she shouldn't be held accountable for all of it.

Oh, YOR: you didn't say if I was in trouble for anything yet.

Man, are you ever caught up in your 'hollywood' offers.Gail mentions she has Hollywood offers. She has Hollywood offers.
Contrast that with someone who boasts about how they inspired FCBD, and Marvel's 99 cent comic line, and a Star Wars character... and then doesn't have the reality to back that up.

If you have problems with other people actually having accomplishments, then that is your problem.

Here's a suggestion, Rick: instead of spending your time making hollow-sounding threats, go out and earn money to pay some of those debts you have incurred.

[Papergirl]

Actually, you may want to check into how Tony actual gained a fan following. He did it by producing material that people like, and by having it published.

It's a technique that works a lot better than non-production of material. Really.

Nat,

I don't doubt that. But the mean spirited social agenda isn't going to gain him any new 'fans' ... no more than it will give his life what he seems to show is lacking. "Fandom" has changed greatly since Tony got his recognition.

Personally, I know Tony and I don't like each other. But I doidn't bring his name up in my discussions and conversations until he thought by talking about me ... it would make him a bigger person.

I've got pics of him and his son back in 2003 attending the MMC. We were happy to have them here that day. I can and will be able to disprove any negative comment about that 2003 event with fact. Pictures also say a thousand words. So Tony is free to run his mouth for as long as he's foolish enough.

Now, as to addressing TLE's production efforts -- We're still in business and still planning on having a representation set for June. I never approached this publishing endeavor as wanting to be a "Tony Isabella" ... so much as I merely needed to take a shot at my self publishing goal. I don't stand on the shoulders of other people where my writing is concerned. Several here believe it to be juvenile crap. We live in a free world. Please don't buy anything I've written or plan to print, market, and release. Thank you.

Yeah, people are so "mean spirited" because they actually want to get paid for the work they did... How dare they! :rolleyes:

I just got off the phone with the clerk in Herkimer County.

What's a matter, Rick? Barbara didn't want to be held accountable for your actions anymore? Is that why you dissolved TLE on 1/11/07 with your wife as a partner and then refiled on 1/26/07 by yourself?

Tightlip Entertainment is registered again. Want to check for yourself? Here's the phone # to the clerk's office 315-867-1137.

Stillwell, you're no less a scumbag. But I'll reserve my words and use action in due time to 'fix' your ass.

Again, this is all legal in a free country. As far as you posting that telephone number here... I have no problem with it. I'm just surprised it took you 'Brainiac' types so long to confirm what I had been saying was a lie and mistruth by those sttaing publicly that my business was somehow dissolved or shut down. I also have a problem with all this talk about the County or New York State Attorney's office, but my attorney will and is dealing with those bold and empty claims ... as with the legal suits filed against me. No substance. Lies. You, also, Mr. Stillwell will be dragged into a court action with your full employee actions and dates/times intact. We'll see if you
can slide by on using all that time.

The thing is, he actually had several chances early on to say his side of things. Instead he seems to just react to what others say, avoiding the issues that the non-involved parties are being told about.

TLE was never dissolved according to the filing office. Our accounts remain intact and have never wavered. Same company. I merely refiled to allow for two areas that we're expanding into at some future date.

Again, when you seek truth... you talk to people that would know. Not liars perpetuating lie upon lie upon lie.

Are you threatening me, Olney? You've seen what I can do when just helping out. Do you want me to have a personal stake in this? So far it's all been fact finding. It can be more if you'd like.

Idiot, you and your wife dissolved TLE 1/11/07. That's a matter of public record, available to anyone able to contact the clerk's office. It was reformed by you on 1/27/07 without your wife. Also, public record.

So unless making a phone call is now illlegal, your threat is just like you, nutless.

Here's the thing about Tony and the 2003 MMC:

I remember getting a phone call the week after that show.

You were on the other end, Moby, bitching and moaning about how bad the reviews from Tony (and Jen) were. Tony, please tell me you still have that piece online somewhere so every can see just how bad it was.

Everyone poses for pictures. Everyone wants to be seen as having a good time. At that moment. You think they're gonna turn a sour puss when their appreciative fans are nearby?

And I just knew he'd done that with TLE. I told Momma that exact same scenario 2 weeks ago. He kept it under his expansive belt until he felt the time was right to announce it. That's why the sudden appearance on Jim Main's group; he had to let the small press creators 'know' he's still on their side.

It's so hard to write good villainous plots.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

What shocks me is how someone can really call a writer a " token " if thats supposed to be some huge dig against them. Because lets be serious here , Gail's worked on Deadpool , Agent X and has moved to DC to do work there. Its true I'm no huge fan ( I got Villains United last year) of Gail but its just sad to see someone use that in an attempt to discredit her.

More or less it reads like jealousy in a way. That your jealous of the fact that Gail has came in and been able to build a fanbase on her own work. That she's been able to put togethor a near 50 issue run on a series and do work in the mainstream you yourself wish you can do.


Then theres the putdown of Tony Isabella . That he's been in the game too long. You see a Ric Flair ( NWA/WCW/WWF World Champion ) who is in his 50's now and still going ? He's had punks and others tell him its time to step aside and let the young guys take their slots. But as Flair has said...you gotta prove you can beat The Nature Boy. You gotta prove you deserve to walk that isle like Flair and take his spot.

Thus far you've proved nothing. Why should Scott Shaw , Tony Isabella and Kurt Busiek step aside and let you take their spots in the " game " ? Have you proved that you should be there ? Have you honestly showed them your the next Great One ? No...I doubt you have.

Its just ironic to see someone try and cut down established people in the industry and they haven't even produced 1 book to fans. So maybe when things are taken care of and you honestly get people paid...and produce the TOTS you can make that statement . But til then....you don't even get to wash their cars.

Then, I was wondering if he was a Vader or a Palpatine, when the realization suddenly hit me.

Remember in Star Wars, when Luke comes up with the plan to rescue Leia, but needs to put Chewie in shackles to do it? They're walking down the hall, and the small droid rolls up to them, and then Chewie roars at it. The droid then turns around and burns rubber out of there.

"Allegedly" evil.

Can you tell I have an attorney in my family?



Tom, you have my admiration and respect in many ways.

However, I ask if you can deal with Mr. Olney without resorting to scatalogical barbs.

I believe it was Sun Tsu who pointed out that he who maintains the high ground will be victorious.

Well, I don't think being evil is something you can sue people for, just committing the crime. ^_~ Since you have an attorney in your family, why don't we have Mr. Olney post his stuff that includes "language only lawyers can untangle" so the lawyers around here or the people who know lawyers can untangle it for us stupid people?

And they may be victorious, but I'll still get to Scotland first. ^_~

Shit for brains, your wife's name is listed online and the clerk's office told me her name. It's all public record, you jockless wonder.

Also, you might have considered the safety of your family before letting your daughter's name be plastered all over myspace.


Hey, I warned you. Your namecalling and further harrassment will be dealt with from the view of maintaining the safety of my family. All this talk of people and getting hauled into court rooms to explain THEIR interest in this matter and justifying THEIR actions will lead to whatever you're looking for. Meanwhile, I have to protect my family from your harrassment and threat.

The thing is, he actually had several chances early on to say his side of things. Instead he seems to just react to what others say, avoiding the issues that the non-involved parties are being told about.

How are we supposed to react when the only response is "Everything they say is lies!" Which "everything"?

If I can interject -- The insults from my earliest posts sparked personal attacks. That is all documented. I reacted poorly by responding back, but my replies ... even after I removed them ... were no effective counter slam on the parties involved. That much has been stated (and recorded) here.

"Everything" will be decided for its lie potential. There are areas of 'Talent' matter to be addressed, along with those perpetuating the outright 'gang type' bullying and broken civil laws.

Again, NOBODY here has the facts of what took place with TightLip Entertainment's 'talent' problem. It is complex and secured with legal wordage only lawyers can untangle. Those 'talents" posting here complicated the matter themselves. A Contract, while left broken or unfulfilled by either party doesn't supercede the legally signed NDA's and other, as yet made public information pertaining to the matter. Motive and motivation will stay in discovery and investigative stage for as long as it takes to ascertain the facts. Charting lies takes time!

Meanwhile, NOBODY has infringed upon the rights of those 'talents' feeling allegedly aggrieved. Nobody has talked ill of them.

CYA!

Allow me to interpret that:

"WHAAAAAAA!!! IT'S EVERYONE ELSE'S FAULT THAT I LIE AND MISDIRECT THINGS!!!"

~shrug~ Whatever, Dick.

QUIT BEING MEAN TO DONKEYS.

"Gail" ... stop being ignorant.

[Charles RB]

Again, when you seek truth... you talk to people that would know. Not liars perpetuating lie upon lie upon lie.

So you want everyone here to stop talking to you then?

This is exactly what I am talking about! You are trying to sound like a legal expert and you are not. You are coming off like an idiot. Stop! Now! Please!
