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

[Gail Simone]

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!



But still no one is being paid, right?

Deadbeat.

[TomStillwell]

Again, NOBODY here has the facts of what took place with TightLip Entertainment's 'talent' problem.

I actually do. All of them. When I find facts, I find facts.

[DocAbsurd]

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.


Stillwell, I have decided with your freely using my wife's name to have you formally investigated. We've had safety concerns here within my family and I'm not going to sit idle while you paint your lies and possibly compromise the safety of my family.

Moby, admit you lied. You said nothing changed about TLE, but then you say in your next breath that everything has changed (for 'future endeavors'; been reading up on the J-Bolt Handbook of How Not to Publish Comics?). I'd say you're the one perpetuating lie upon lie, but that would imply 'effort'.

I love the line, 'I have decided.' Wouldn't that be something the law would have to decide? Like, say, the police? Your attorney? Local or federal investigators? It's no wonder the lawbooks are getting all faded; you keep waving 'em around as if they actually apply to something.

Tell me something, Moby: when it turns out that none of us here have had anything to do with those 'threats', can we sue you?

Again?

Comes to a screeching halt

Did Rick Olney just call me "Mort"?

Alright, this isn't funny.

How the almighty Kirby does Rick Olney know my nickname? The one only my friends use? He may have lost the "s" but that's pretty creepy.
He saw me use it, I'm sure.

The only appropriate response to this is "bullshit."

If your "talent problem" is really "complex and secured with legal wordage only lawyers can untangle" it's because you want it that way. You deliberately use needlessly complex and convoluted language in order to avoid paying people and to deliberately make dealing with you difficult. You are creatign legal obstacles on purpose, because you are an asshole.

Yeah, I said it.

[Dreadstar]

...Meanwhile, I have to protect my family from your harrassment and threat.

Please feel free to list those threats and instances of harrassment.

[Matt Doc Martin]

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.
You have been threatened with LEGAL ACTION, not violence. YOU threaten violence. Do I need to show you your own posts again?

Bring it on, peanut. I dare you.

[Papergirl]

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.

Moby, admit you lied. You said nothing changed about TLE, but then you say in your next breath that everything has changed (for 'future endeavors'; been reading up on the J-Bolt Handbook of How Not to Publish Comics?). I'd say you're the one perpetuating lie upon lie, but that would imply 'effort'.

I love the line, 'I have decided.' Wouldn't that be something the law would have to decide? Like, say, the police? Your attorney? Local or federal investigators? It's no wonder the lawbooks are getting all faded; you keep waving 'em around as if they actually apply to something.

Tell me something, Moby: when it turns out that none of us here have had anything to do with those 'threats', can we sue you?

Doc 'Legally Constipated' Absurd


Tim,
I have been holding back on taking any action towards you because of my personal knowledge (via our now lost friendship) of how your life has been. I didn't want to pull you into this all. But you're perpetuating this and you've said enough to be evaluated legally. Obviously, you know that one person taking on this many people has lots of things needing to be charted and catalogued -- much as you all have chosen to make note of my every post.
I'm not answering your questions. I only know that your many, many emails to me along with what you told others ... does not equal how you claim to be 'damaged' as a person.

You can 'sue' me if you have an attorney willing and capable to put a case together based on civil statues. Again, nobody ever kept you from taking any step you felt necessary. I mean, regarding this mob you joined and helped spur on. How culpable you are remains to be seen by those on this side of the fence that handle those areas.

You calling me "Moby" is just as childish as the "Dick" and "peanut" references. They show more than you can imagine.

[Matt Doc Martin]

Jeez man, I found out your wife and daughter's names long before Tom mentioned it here, and I live in another freaking country without access to the clerks and brokers he does. You put their names on the net, people can find them out. Pretty simple really.

Hell, 12 of Rick Olney's "friends" on MySpace are Starr's accounts. Apparently she feels the need to run several MySpace accounts. I guess one isn't big enough to hold her.

And I mean that exactly how it sounds.

I have been holding back on taking any action towards you because of my personal knowledge (via our now lost friendship) of how your life has been and the fact I have jack and squat for a case. I also admitted I owe you money and that I refuse to pay it. Imagine my surprise when everyone told me I am in deep trouble..

[TonyIsabella]

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.

If Olney was complaining about that column, then even his basic reading skills have to be called into question. It was an exceedingly kind review, written in the spirit of not kicking someone when he was down.

It's online here:

http://www.worldfamouscomics.com/tony/back20030712.shtml

I'd have to check my files to be sure, but I think Olney was booted from my message board for the third and final time just after the column ran.

Anyway, I was not aware of the problems the other guests were having with Olney at the time I wrote the review. As I stated way earlier in this thread, my experience was a good one...through no doing of Olney's. I got to spend a wonderful weekend with my son and met some friends, old and new.

Olney (or someone) paid for our motel room, which was of poor quality, but about what I expect for such a small venue.

He had promised to pay my mileage, but, knowing he had to be losing his shirt on the show, I told him to donate that money to whatever charity that his auction was allegedly supporting. I never followed up on whether or not he ever made that donation.

[Matt Doc Martin]

Talentless troll...

Says the non-publisher.

[Typo Lad]

If I can interject --

Please do. Dialogue is productive. Namecalling isn't

Glares at everyone.

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.

Let me ask you something then, in all seriousness:

If someone calls attacks you verbally, is the only proper response to fire back? Would it not have been far more effective to be the bigger person (glares again)? Why is it that all confontation must be on a schoolyard level.

I'm a parent. To me, what you are saying is 'he started it". My daughter is six and knows that this is not a valid argument.

"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.

I do not mena for this to be rude... but do you mind reparsing this run-on sentence? I am not proccessing it at all.

Again, NOBODY here has the facts of what took place with TightLip Entertainment's 'talent' problem.

Does that include yourself?

Would you include Doc Absurd in that? You had, after all, cited him previously to a journalist, saying they should talk to him. What are we to make of this?

What about what we all tinessed, when Ronee said she would sign a document in this very thread and you apparantly changed your mind? Are we missing something there?

It is complex and secured with legal wordage only lawyers can untangle. Those 'talents" posting here complicated the matter themselves.

What impact does your posting here have, if any?

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.

Speaking as a former publisher and as someone whose dayjob involves quite a few NDAs, I'm confused by what you seem to be saying here. Unless an NDA specifically mentions it, breach of contract is almost never covered by an NDA. Are you saying you included that clause?

Motive and motivation will stay in discovery and investigative stage for as long as it takes to ascertain the facts.

This sounds very impressive. What does it mean?

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


First let me be pendactic: One cannot Feel allegedly aggrieved. One can be allegedly agrieved or one can feel aggrieved. One cannot be both.

Secondly, have you not, in this very thread, threatened people's right to free speech? Are you implying your rights have been infinged on? How? Namecalling? You've done the same. It cannot be your freedom of speech, as you were not banned. In fact, the moderators have been so kind as to safeguard your freedom of speech, making sure none of the posts can be edited.

Lastly, several people here feel that their rights have been aggrieved by not being paid in a timely manner.

[Papergirl]

But the mean spirited social agenda isn't going to gain him any new 'fans'I have trouble seeing warning people about a bad actor in the field as being a "mean spirited social agenda".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'm not able to parse this construct. However, it seems you're thinking other people shouldn't be talking about you unless you are talking about them, and I cannot say that I agree with that. You've courted attention in various ways, and it's not reasonable to then expect that people will only consider those items you wish them to consider from the viewpoint that you wish to present. Now, as to addressing TLE's production efforts -- We're still in business and still planning on having a representation set for June.I'm not clear what "representation" is. Do you mean you'll publish a comic? And if so, are you planning traditional direct market distribution? Have you already solicited the book for distribution?
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.That's a curious claim. If your goal was self publishing, then why hire the services of Chuck Dixon -- he did some writing for your book, right? Is it perhaps that you wanted the added attention to your work that his involvement would bring, that your writing might stand on his shoulders (so to speak)?
Please don't buy anything I've written or plan to print, market, and release.I certainly don't plan to. Not that I've seen much sign that I will ever encounter such material to purchase.

[Matt Doc Martin]

Talentless troll...

Talentless troll...

Excuuuuuuuuuse me?

now if I seem to recall, it was YOU that asked me to write for your site. It was YOU who friended my Myspace after that business deal went sour, and it was YOU that were making comments on how I had a lot of talent or whatever, yadda yadda yadda.

I'm not saying all this because your opinion of my skills as a creator bothers me one way or another because, even though I HAVEN'T hit everything I've wanted to, by my own faults and because that's just how the cookie crumbles... I actually do have a body of work in my wake. Not a rich library but what the hell, I'm 26...

I've gotten magazines national distribution, I've worked for a top company, worked with them hollywood types (not the JL thing, like I said I chickened out of that.) I've been published in indie magazines a dozen times over. I've done TV, and print interviews with things in a lot of places.

And yeah, I manage to get by with my output. (well some years are better than others)

Yeah, that's lack of talent right there. I've never said I was Alan 'freakin' Moore but I've done a damn sight more than sitting around bitching at people who don't like me. (not that I haven't done my share of it.. but like I said I'M A KID!!!!!)

[Gail Simone]

I actually have an idea for a childrens series , something kids could read with a concept like that. But its not a fish.

It's all in the execution. And after reading his scripts, I wanted to be executed.

KIDDING.

[EdContradictory]

Raise your hand if you find Rick's empty threats scary.
I find them scary in a "mentally unbalanced guy shouting outside Penn Station" kind of way.

[Dreadstar]

Christ, you're a pussy, Olney.

[Draconomicon]

Her popularity is not as 'solid' as you (and she) might believe.

*That* is hilarious.
She is one of the most praised writers in the current comic industry and a fan-favorite.

[Kurt Busiek]

My side of this will also be making his legal representation aware of what's been stated here and by whom.

Wait, wait.

Olney's "side of this" is a "him"? And it has legal representation?

So not only does Rick have an imaginary lawyer, his "side of this" has an imaginary lawyer and imaginary gender?

Aside from the fact that Rick's very, very, very confused about how the law works, he now seems to think his assertions are people...

kdb

[Rick Olney]

If Olney was complaining about that column, then even his basic reading skills have to be called into question. It was an exceedingly kind review, written in the spirit of not kicking someone when he was down.

I'd have to check my files to be sure, but I think Olney was booted from my message board for the third and final time just after the column ran.

I was removed from your forum over a remark about the poor French "frying" in that heat that held France helpless a few years back. You then insulted my Veteran status. But that has also taken place here, so birds of a feather still flock together. Your liberal views are disgusting.

Anyway, I was not aware of the problems the other guests were having with Olney at the time I wrote the review.

There were no other problems, liar.

As I stated way earlier in this thread, my experience was a good one...through no doing of Olney's. I got to spend a wonderful weekend with my son and met some friends, old and new.

Yeah, riiiiight...

Olney (or someone) paid for our motel room, which was of poor quality, but about what I expect for such a small venue.

Well, at least we got you to state the truth of that situation. You and your son were my guests. How nice a time you both had is, and was, a reflection of the hard work by those involved.

Like "Gail's" lies about how she and her husband got to Syracuse that evening ... you piss and moan here now to simply show how you can bully and belittle the efforts done back then on your behalf. I didn't pick the accommodations. I had never stayed there. Herkimer, fortunately isn't like the upcoming June MMC venue site. So I'm not worried about our guests having a bad time there.

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.
It is drool on the Tightlip logo, right Rick?

[Rick Olney]

Wait, wait.

Olney's "side of this" is a "him"? And it has legal representation?

So not only does Rick have an imaginary lawyer, his "side of this" has an imaginary lawyer and imaginary gender?

Aside from the fact that Rick's very, very, very confused about how the law works, he now seems to think his assertions are people...

In court, "Gail" ... in court and not until. Gutter mouth.

[DocAbsurd]

Tim,
I have been holding back on taking any action towards you because of my personal knowledge (via our now lost friendship) of how your life has been. I didn't want to pull you into this all. But you're perpetuating this and you've said enough to be evaluated legally. Obviously, you know that one person taking on this many people has lots of things needing to be charted and catalogued -- much as you all have chosen to make note of my every post.
I'm not answering your questions. I only know that your many, many emails to me along with what you told others ... does not equal how you claim to be 'damaged' as a person.

You can 'sue' me if you have an attorney willing and capable to put a case together based on civil statues. Again, nobody ever kept you from taking any step you felt necessary. I mean, regarding this mob you joined and helped spur on. How culpable you are remains to be seen by those on this side of the fence that handle those areas.

You calling me "Moby" is just as childish as the "Dick" and "peanut" references. They show more than you can imagine.

You should be used to 'holding back'; you've held back the monies you've owed for 3 years now. Or did you forget that's what this all stems from? See, when all the legal crap you're flinging about like a rabid monkey in a tiny little zoo finally gets cleared away, that's what it all boils down to. The rest is poo-flavored icing on your poo-flavored cake. It's all a distraction. Watch Judge Judy sometime; you'll see how judges just love getting to the heart of the matter, even when a barrier of countersuit upon countersuit is heaped up for protection.

And the 'lost friendship' was, again, a consequence of your actions. Next time you might wanna check with your remaining friends and see if they don't mind having their names dragged into your personal battles.

You feel you have a civil case. If I remember correctly, you did claim I was making up everything about going back to court with my ex. Does that count against you? That was a boldfaced lie; I have the papers right next to me to prove otherwise. Gimme the word and I'll scan 'em in.

So now I'm being 'evaluated legally'? Why, because I spoke out against you telling everyone you owe me money? Oops, my bad. 'Cept, I never signed anything that prevented me from doing otherwise. Which means you just threatened me legally. Remember that, Olney.

'Course, you could claim that I called you names or revealed your 'secrets'. But then, this is a free country. We're partaking in open discourse (that'd be 'speaking openly', in case you gotta look that up).

And we know all about following legal procedure, Moby; don't waste your meager typing skills refreshing our attorney's memory. Remember him, the one you insulted pages and pages ago? Makes yet another 'civil suit' according to your own words.

As for taking necessary steps, you did assure me time and time (and time and time) again you were gonna pay me. I was stupid enough to believe those were the only steps I needed to take. Exactly how long were planning on fobbing me -- and Danny and Sarah and so many others -- off? As you just said, you know what I've been through. Funny how it didn't matter when you put off making reasonable arrangements, but now you make it sound like you've been doing me a favor.

I'm not answering your questions. I only know that your many, many emails to me along with what you told others ... does not equal how you claim to be 'damaged' as a person.

Just answer this one:

What the hell does the above mean? For the life of me, I cannot figure that out. Are you implying that I've been lying about my situation? Cuz if you are . . . can you say 'civil statutes'?

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

Hi Gail,
Yes, I'm sorry for the hold up on my end. I had to place a withdrawal from a savings investment account I maintain. I'm awaiting the check and expect to be sending you the reimbursement within the next week. Again, I'm sorry for the hold up. I had initially thought that it would be as quick as 7-10 days, but ended up needing to be a few more weeks. The release checks are generated and released in the mail on a cycle. But without forcing a smile from you, I'll have it in the mail to you shortly. Promise. I sure hope my needing the extra time hasn't soured you both to coming back next year. The Syracuse upgrade is going to complete the template for our convention success next year. We'll be advertising more, like in Wizard, and accommodations will be paid up front so as not to leave anyone like yourself waiting for reimbursement. Additionally, we'll be giving each upper echelon guest a $100 dollar bill to cover meals not covered by the convention during the weekend. Gail, I'll email you the moment after the check goes in the mail.

Sorry to hear about your Mom being in the hospital. I hope it is nothing too serious. My thoughts of her feeling better soon are with you and Scott.

Regards,
Rick

[Kurt Busiek]

Ohh yeahh...Superman's always gonna be the 1# most reconizable characters. I'm not debating that. With Kurt writing you know your always gonna get your $2.99 worth on a series.

I think with all his work I really don't have any complaints at all beyond my wanting to put a bullet in Triathalon. But hey...I won't let that 1 little thing ruin my enjoyment of Kurt's Avengers.

Here's another...I asked Rick for Mike Kaluta's email simply because I wanted to thank Mike for a kindness he did for us while we were at the Mighty Crappy Con. Rick got all nervous, and kept stalling...it was IMMEDIATELY obvious he didn't want any of us comparing notes. I figured he owed Kaluta, as well. He kept promising to give it to me, and obviously chickened out.

Note that he's ANOTHER broken promise from the king of lies...he didn't keep his word here either.

Hi Gail,
Yes, I got your email, and I have Mike's email too. I'm aware of who
and what needs attending yet. I don't think it is too much to ask that
you allow me the time I need. Is it? The convention was a big
undertaking, and the turn out wasn't as strong as any of us would've liked. Don't
get me wrong, I'm not crying in my beer, just working on alot of things
at once and that is what has slowed me down. It shouldn't be very much
longer. I do appreciate your patience and understanding. Hope all is
well with your Mom and family.

Also, if you could pass along words of "not to worry" to Mike Kaluta,
I'd appreciate it. All comp payments will be mailed out NO LATER than
end of July. Transportation reimbursements will be included.


Sincerely,

Rick,

I wasn't asking for Mike's email to grouse. He's my favorite all-time artist and I promised to keep in touch. I have no intention of complaining to him, or to anyone else, at this time.

I understand turn-out wasn't as expected, and I have been and will continue to be patient as long as we keep in contact. But when others cancelled, I kept my word and attended, paying for my own ticket when told by others that that was an unwise practice, because I had faith in your word, and you gave assurances of prompt reimbursement.

While it is unfortunate the event was not better attended, It is also unfair for you to put this financial burden on people who did their best for you, and it's unfortunate that you've missed two self-imposed deadlines already. Surely you can understand my concern, particularly at this time. If someone had said, "we'll pay you as agreed, assuming attendence is good," that would have been a different matter. Believe me, I don't find this any more pleasant than you do.

Once the matter is cleared up, the whole thing will be forgotten completely.

Gail

Gail,
To be further honest... I've been excused from three comics related
forums...none of them very big or important. All involving personality
conflicts. I never said I was perfect. I wear my heart on my sleeve and
I
talk to much. I also place faith in people and get let down on a time
or
two.

Yes, I will do as I told you over the telephone and a little more.
Because
that is just how I am.
So I hope we can salvage our interaction. Your statements in previous
emails regarding your concern that other industry types would be put
through any of this was very unsettling, to say the least. I'm not
'feuding' with you. Least ways... it doesn't feel like feuding to me.

There were three people that cancelled on me from my memory. Evan and
Sarah, the guy from Texas that is famous for his American take on
manga. He
wanted me to pay for his wife after the fact. Can't recall his name
though.
And... several people kept me waiting for an answer. Anyway, I hope
upon my
conclusion of this all you'll be able to not think ill of me.

You said, "As I said, if I'd listened to the people who warned
me, I would have saved myself a great deal of
frustration, disappointment and money. I'm not
judging you by what they said, purely by your own
actions. "

I will restore your faith. Hopefully that will erase your frustration
and
disappointment.
I just want to be fully 110% clear on your money spent, okay? I want NO
grey areas where you feel the slightest bit 'out-of-pocket' on any of
this
regarding Mighty Mini-Con. Believe me, it won't be hard determining if
someone/anyone is trying to shed a negative light on the MMC once I get
into the final stages of guest planning for 2004. I just want to be
sure
that I don't under pay you, okay?
Again, no feud here. I'm not paranoid, but am rather touchy about it
all
because that's been used against me in the past during a slander
campaign.
You would understand better if it were you.

Thanks.

If that won't scare you off, you might be formally investigated!

You can 'sue' me if you have an attorney willing and capable to put a case together based on civil statues.

As opposed to those rude statues, like Michelangelo's "David."

[Gail Simone]

Gail, did he ever send the $400 to you? And, if so, did the check clear?

Yes, he did. Months late, and after dozens of lies, he sent that amount, which did not fully cover my airfare. He never paid another dime, but he's lied about it plenty of times.

That's the advantage of telling the truth--the story never changes. Rick can't remember who he's cheated and for how much from one moment to another.

Why can't you be that honest?

Motive and motivation will stay in discovery and investigative stage for as long as it takes to ascertain the facts.

[Gail Simone]

Why in heavens name would your husband's ticket price be different than yours?

"no, Rick, you know men have to pay a penis tax when they fly. It's one of them new wacky laws, so his was $30 more than mine."

"Well considering we had trouble scheduling the tickets, Scott had to sit in the back of the plane, and as you know it takes longer for the back part to get there than the front so it's a little more expensive."

:p

yes tired.

Just the usual Olney excuses for stalling. Guy never paid a bill on time in his life, I suspect.

As folks might have noticed, I don't respond to Olney here. When I post here, I post factual information and express opinions based on that information. I see no point in responding to him here because his lies are so obvious and his claims and opinions so obviously misinformed that there's no reason for me to respond. His own words reveal him for what he is. I don't need to add anything.

When he sends me threatening e-mails, like the one I have already reposted in several venues, I'll do exactly what I have said I will do: post them, direct folks to the Unscrewed website, and remind them that I have given blanket approval for them to repost my original warning about Olney.

My goal is to spread the word about him as much as possible and, as much as possible, prevent the unaware from suffering loss of time/money as a result of doing business with him on any level.

[Sarah Beach]

Good. You'll need to produce them at some point and time.

Okay, I was at an Oscar party at friends' yesterday (you know, part of my "real life", in the field where I actually get my regular paycheck - the entertainment business - with people who likewise work in that arena, with real credits), so I missed this resurfacing at the time (I'm still back at post #13744).

And really, I thought he had acquired better sense. But this reappearance does explain why the number of pages I have yet to read is so high. Heh.

I'm sure I have bunches of fun things to look forward to. I know this is way behind the wave, but I thought I'd say my reaction was similar to Typo's. I did not really expect the peanut to return here.

I'll catch up. :)

[Papergirl]

If Olney was complaining about that column, then even his basic reading skills have to be called into question. It was an exceedingly kind review, written in the spirit of not kicking someone when he was down.

It's online here:

http://www.worldfamouscomics.com/tony/back20030712.shtml

I'd have to check my files to be sure, but I think Olney was booted from my message board for the third and final time just after the column ran.

Anyway, I was not aware of the problems the other guests were having with Olney at the time I wrote the review. As I stated way earlier in this thread, my experience was a good one...through no doing of Olney's. I got to spend a wonderful weekend with my son and met some friends, old and new.

Olney (or someone) paid for our motel room, which was of poor quality, but about what I expect for such a small venue.

He had promised to pay my mileage, but, knowing he had to be losing his shirt on the show, I told him to donate that money to whatever charity that his auction was allegedly supporting. I never followed up on whether or not he ever made that donation.

Tony

I was removed from your forum over a remark about the poor French "frying" in that heat that held France helpless a few years back. You then insulted my Veteran status. But that has also taken place here, so birds of a feather still flock together. Your liberal views are disgusting.



There were no other problems, liar.



Yeah, riiiiight...



Well, at least we got you to state the truth of that situation. You and your son were my guests. How nice a time you both had is, and was, a reflection of the hard work by those involved.

Like "Gail's" lies about how she and her husband got to Syracuse that evening ... you piss and moan here now to simply show how you can bully and belittle the efforts done back then on your behalf. I didn't pick the accommodations. I had never stayed there. Herkimer, fortunately isn't like the upcoming June MMC venue site. So I'm not worried about our guests having a bad time there. It is an A+ rated hotel.

Wait, wait.

Olney's "side of this" is a "him"? And it has legal representation?

So not only does Rick have an imaginary lawyer, his "side of this" has an imaginary lawyer and imaginary gender?

Aside from the fact that Rick's very, very, very confused about how the law works, he now seems to think his assertions are people...

kdb

Find a donut shoppe, Busiek. I don't suffer from hero envy over your writing. You're waaaaaaaaay overrated.

All right, idiot.

ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION.

Did you pay ONE SINGLE DIME towards my husband's airfare?

Did you even reimburse me for all of mine?

Answer YES or NO.

My ex was 'evaluated' legally. 'Emotionally unfit' and 'mentally unstable'. Is that what he meant? Cuz the only things 'unfit' and 'unstable' about me are my gut and my molecules. Although I am kinda scared to be formally investigated; what will I wear?

And as for Michelangelo:

Shakespeare: Hamlet I like much better than David. (he shouts through , open window next to sink) Michelangelo, You can use David. I won't sue

(Cut to Michelangelo's studio. Michelangelo is in middle of feeding and looking after at least six screaming little babies. His statue of David is in the foreground.)

Michelangelo: Thanks, but I've had a better idea.

I'm going to breach my own Third Law (Attempt to Maintain Civility) now and post something that may be taken as a bit rude.

Mr. Olney, speaking as a man with dyslexia, I advise that you type your posts in Word with the grammarcheck and spellcheck on. It won't catch everything, but it may make it easier for people to comprehend exactly what it is you are trying to say.


Firefox 2.0 has a spell check built in. I told Rick Olney so about 13,500 posts ago.

Hi Gail,
Yes, I'm sorry for the hold up on my end. I had to place a withdrawal from a savings investment account I maintain. I'm awaiting the check and expect to be sending you the reimbursement within the next week. Again, I'm sorry for the hold up. I had initially thought that it would be as quick as 7-10 days, but ended up needing to be a few more weeks.

TRANSLATED:

Hi "Gail",
Yeesh, I'm sorry you keep bugging me about this. I've now had to make up a new lie about a savings investment account I maintain. I thnk if I mention it and then wait awhile, I can expect you to stop trying to seek reimbursment within the next week. Again, I'm sorry you keep bringing this up. I had initially thought that if I gnored you for 7 - 10 days you'd go away, but it ended up I needed to ignore you for a few more weeks.

[Sarah Beach]

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.

Soooo.... somehow the fact that you imply that you're going to sue her will automatically make her less popular? Dude, she sells books WELL for one of the big companies. They're not going to care about what you do. You're not that impressive.

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.

Fine. Whatever. Given how much you speculate about other people's associations, I don't see why you're so would up when others take pieces of evidence, and make some conclusions based on that. If the information is incomplete, no big deal, Mr. Huffy. It's not actionable. Sorry to disappoint you on that.

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.

Okay, now that's a real laugh! You do nothing BUT "judge outside of proper context"!!! Heh. As for "harrassment emails".... I know nothing of those. And certainly given the way you misrepresent things, I doubt all of them are necessarily as you characterize them. Me, I see no reason to bother any of your family for the most part. Make some inquiries of your former business partner - that is, your wife - yes, perhaps. But I don't see that that would necessarily be harrassing, rather just the consequence of your actions.

"Clarity and truth is coming".

Oooo. wow. I'm so impressed, awed and scared.

It's coming, because you don't seem capable of delivering it now. Either clarity or truth.

Have a nice day. :)

You know, if he had just said please take this down, I probably would have. Now I'm just excited to find out his lawyer is. If he contacts me, I'll be happy to let everyone know the name of the lawyer.

Also, if Gail, Chuck, or Mark would be interested in doing an interview related to the Rick Olney situation as well as their comics work (I'm a fan of all three.)for my podcast, Comics Radar, please contact me. i would be glad to talk about it all if none of the "big guns" want to.

Now . . .

Does that sound like the actions of a man with 'safety concerns' for his family?

When my ex showed up mere blocks from our neighborhood last year after we had been granted the Order of Protection, I was patrolling the house with a baseball bat, informing the Things' school, warning the bus company and their drivers . . . I don't think I slept for 3 days, parked on the couch with my Louisville Slugger.

Besides which, is that something you'd brag about in public if the authorities were actively seeking out the alleged parties? Wouldn't that kinda ruin their chances of catching the alleged perpetrator?

As an aside, Gail should you have been posting his email adress? The lawyers in here would know better than me, but that seems a bit wrong.





Oh yeah Rick is a jerk, too.

[Sarah Beach]

Sometimes, just catching up is not enough. I expect others will have commented on this, but still.....

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.

Fandom (and why the quote marks on that?) hasn't changed all that much (in any arena). It's only increased its communication abilities. And apparently, Tony's posting of information about RO actually has gotten him "fans" of a sort, since he said he's gotten email from folks thanking him for the warning. (And really, I see no reason to doubt Tony's word.)

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.

This poor mentally deficient resident of Herkimer does not seem to grasp that pictures do NOT tell the whole story of one's experience of ANYTHING. It is entirely possible that a person (such as Tony, who was with his son) might be capable of finding something to amuse himself under any circumstance. Even a badly run convention. A picture of someone smiling does not mean that the convention at which that picture was taken was well run or successful. It just means the person was smiling at the time the picture was taken. Duh.

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.

"Having a representation set for June"??? What the heck does that mean? Is it supposed to mean anything to anyone? Does he mean his "convention" (which has not set venue yet, and is now probably too late for anyone to want to change their already-established plans in order to attend)?

And... gosh. Asking people not to buy one's work? That's a really great sales technique there, dude. NOT.

Heh.

No, actually the way it happened has no reason to change. It is factual. And I am no longer in possession of your many emails. My attorney has them so I can't comment on what you've typed here.

Why would I offer to pay your husband's way? Did I offer also to pay for the babysitter? Newspaper delivery person? Milkman? Why would we have offered to pay for your husband. Does he have a talent beyond putting up with you?

You also lied about the matter of Dennis' car and how you got to Syracuse. I suspect you have lied plenty and certainly our indication here is that not everyone 'buys' your spewed crap rationalizations. People are smarter than you give them credit for. We don't all read your comic books.

Slow on the uptake, isn't he? After all Peeg has been using it for quite a long time in reference to this personage.

Hey ho. peanut (size of brains and other appendages).

Actaully, you should seek medical help for that fungal infection. It could be botrytis blight.

Someone woke up cranky!

~Bev

[Draconomicon]

You also lied about the matter of Dennis' car and how you got to Syracuse. I suspect you have lied plenty and certainly our indication here is that not everyone 'buys' your spewed crap rationalizations.
1.
Repeating something that is a lie, does not make it true.
2.
So far Gail did back up all of her claims.
You, Sir, did not offer anything beyond vague threats, excuses and insults.




People are smarter than you give them credit for.
*Tweaks his nose*
Hence why this thread exists.
They are smarter than you give them credit for.

[Matt Doc Martin]

Actaully, you should seek medical help for that fungal infection. It could be botrytis blight.

Do you look up stuff at random?


So...you made a claim that your family was threatened. We are still waiting on any proof of that. Any emails? Anyone here guilty?

Or are you LYING again?

[Draconomicon]

What, did he confiscate your computer?

Does not really make sense, does it?

[Ronée]

Tony, I will be reposting your warning on all of my sites as well as the next installment of WAGW going up this evening.

"Mr. Olney" ( I use the quotations because he is masquerading as a man and clearly is not ) has lit a fire under me with his pompous bullshit and the same "woe is me" that I once fell for.

Not one word about those he screwed so badly, only attacking those so vocal here for trying to stand up for the people like me who he hosed so callously. Brad might not be interested in the story but I vow that I will find someone who IS and go all the way with it.

Because of Olney my family suffered, not to mention the fighting that was going on in my marriage directly related to me working for Olney AND his lack of payment. Did it contribute to the divorce? Who knows... point is I got more grief than I am already dealing with because of this heartless and selfish man.

He has called me a "stupid bitch" and threatened me with items of a personal nature, but I have no fear, just as he seems to have no soul.

"And it harms none, so mote it be" But you, "Mr. Olney" have harmed many.

[howyadoin]

Or are you LYING again?That explanation's just crazy enough that it might work.

[Rick Olney]

As folks might have noticed, I don't respond to Olney here. When I post here, I post factual information and express opinions based on that information. I see no point in responding to him here because his lies are so obvious and his claims and opinions so obviously misinformed that there's no reason for me to respond. His own words reveal him for what he is. I don't need to add anything.

When he sends me threatening e-mails, like the one I have already reposted in several venues, I'll do exactly what I have said I will do: post them, direct folks to the Unscrewed website, and remind them that I have given blanket approval for them to repost my original warning about Olney.

My goal is to spread the word about him as much as possible and, as much as possible, prevent the unaware from suffering loss of time/money as a result of doing business with him on any level.

And I just got the below from a person that has been following this insane thread:

Rick,
Yeah, I kinda think some of those posting are kids with way too much time on their hands. I think the operative word here is "Absurd". When dealing with talented, artistic people, it is necessary to remember that some of them have egos bigger than their talent. I have found that big egos usually mean insecure people trying to outwit their own insecurity.

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

By the way, considering that we can keep up our documentation of you without batting an eyelash, why is it taking your "team" so long to document us? Oh, wait... Nevermind, you're not answering questions, as usual.

Maybe Rick's lawyers are having some problems with all the deleted posts earlier in this thread. Y'know, the ones Rick deleted. Maybe Rick's lawyers should contact the Absurd's lawyers to get a complete copy of everything, since they actually have one.

[howyadoin]

So...you made a claim that your family was threatened. We are still waiting on any proof of that. Any emails? Anyone here guilty?

Or are you LYING again?

[OzBat!]

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.

This will make the suits much easier.oooohhhhh, buuurrrrrn!

[Reverend Smooth]

While this is all likely stating the obvious...

Olney's bluffing. I wouldn't worry about any of it; the more he threatens, the less you need to take him seriously.

He uses over-wordy sentences to try to make his speech sound more formal (doesn't work, his english is bad), he has a solidly-established track record of lying (can't deliver on promises) and making empty threats (can't back it up), and his style of humor is to belittle people (tries to make himself feel better by putting others, especially apparently the disadvantaged, down).

He betrays his insecurity with every word. Every single word, every sentence, every post. Seriously.

You're not going to get apologies or humility out of a pathological liar. Just more of the same, until they themselves choose to take responsibility.

But he can't. So he's going to spew rhetoric because, in his mind, this is how you fight -- and win -- the fight.

Why?

He's probably never been made to own up for his wrongs. Until he truly has to face serious consequences, he won't stop.

So I wouldn't worry about it. He's all bluster.

The best gamblers know that you have to sometimes produce real results after bluffing a few times, Olney, otherwise, people wise up to your game. Haven't you ever played poker?

And you can't make people back off by insulting their talent or their egos. If they're good, they'll stay in the game.

[Rick Olney]

Actually, your family life was in trouble far sooner than you let on. Far as you taking whatever steps ... be prepared for whatever comes full circle. I have no recall of calling you (as you state) a "stupid bitch" again.. this most likely is a lie. I've steered claer of you until this all plays out legally where YOU'RE concerned. You're not legally owed a dime. No contract without an NDA. You failed to return either before playing the act of being a victim. You have children to care for. I doubt that you'd hold up to anyone looking into your background. Be forewarned...blackmail is a crime.

Look into anything you want Olney, I have nothing to hide. But I would watch your tone with me as I can open a whole NEW can of worms on you. I did work, you accepted it, you owe me. Period. I will yell it from the highest mountain top that you are the lowest deadbeat and a liar, I am not scared of you and your imaginary counsel.

When dealing with talented, artistic people, it is necessary to remember that some of them have egos bigger than their talent. I have found that big egos usually mean insecure people trying to outwit their own insecurity.

The same is often true in regard to dealing with untalented individuals that try to misrepresent themselves as creative.

I don't get it; not only did he name the disease wrong, the disease is only harmful to vineyards. Is he calling you an 'infected vineyard', Peeg?

Actually, I think he may meant Botryotinia fuckeliana, which is the sexual form of the normally asexual fungus.

By the way, Kurt, I'm gonna have "Time Warp" stuck in my head for the rest of the day now. Thanks a lot. :PI used to have that problem a lot, with songs getting stuck in my brain. I worked out a process to fight it.

First, start thinking of other songs -- not the songs themselves, just start naming the titles.
Bend at the waist.
Take deep breaths for about half a minute (slow and smooth, don't hyperventilate!)
Straighten up.
Put your hands on your hips.
Pull your knees in tight.
It's the pelvic thrust, that really drives you insa-a-a-a-ane...
You're welcome.

Uhhh...Rick dude....did you forget that you sorta did say she did work for you. They copied your responses earlier to Ronee. If she chooses to go ahead she can use your statements that you claim you owe her money for work.

That was thousands of posts ago. But they copied and saved what you have posted earlier. They have already stated that numerous times. Trying to swerve her now won't help once they pull up statements you posted saying she worked for you and the company.

[NatGertler]

Why would I offer to pay your husband's way? Did I offer also to pay for the babysitter? Newspaper delivery person? Milkman? Why would we have offered to pay for your husband.I suppose that you need it explained to you that it's not that uncommon for conventions to offer to pay expenses for not only the invited guests but also for a companion (and sometime more than one), in order to encourage the guest to come and to feel comfortable.

My claims were put into proper context, legally, upon answering her on HOW she could recoup pay for what she had done freely expecting payment. I can't force her to sign a release. But likewise I'm not legally obligated morally or legally. Her insults of me have bought her invisiblity, far as I'm concerned.

Jim, check your contract copy. You never followed it and your work was slow and substandard. I have the word of Jeff stating that, btw. What you did do is break your NDA and then feel confident to goose pile and insult me. Frankly, you're lightweight and won't take long to handle legally.

I suppose that you need it explained to you that it's not that uncommon for conventions to offer to pay expenses for not only the invited guests but also for a companion (and sometime more than one), in order to encourage the guest to come and to feel comfortable.

Conventions, yes.

The Mighty Minicon? No. There was no guarantee given.

The Mighty MiniCon made no such offer prior to "Gail Simone" re: 2003's MMC.

This despite several e-mails between the two of you where YOU agreed to pay his airfare?

Lying twit.

Rick:


Do you have proof that you had permission and/or ever made a donation to St Judes Childrens Research Hospital for the 2003 auction you held in their name?

If so, would you like me to give you Jen Joy's contact info again to pass it on to her? Upon her receiving it, I will gladly contact the NY AG to let them know. You can also provide a copy to me and I will gladly pass it on.

What about these alleged threats your family received? Any details on those?

[the4thpip]

And I am no longer in possession of your many emails. My attorney has them so I can't comment on what you've typed here.



Wait!
When you forward emails they... disappear? :confused:

[Rick Olney]

You twit. She TOLD you to send her the fucking papers to sign. YOU chose not to. Again with the lies and bullshit.

~Bev

I was following instructions from someone that knew more of this matter than you, Matt the Troll, or anyone else. That's all I have to say about Ronee.

[Matt Doc Martin]

Again, this matter is between Ms. Bourgeois and any representation that she might send my way BEFORE we actually get to addressing her concerns outside of any action towards her. It doesn't involve you. I don't need an NDA to know that. You're just a troublesome troll. Find a new bridge to live under. :rolleyes:

I was talking about Gail and her husband and your claims taht you never were going to pay.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

My claims were put into proper context, legally, upon answering her on HOW she could recoup pay for what she had done freely expecting payment. I can't force her to sign a release. But likewise I'm not legally obligated morally or legally. Her insults of me have bought her invisiblity, far as I'm concerned.

But that doesn't fly. I've seen a lot of people on TV sue in Civil court. You can't just say that since she started telling everyone that you owe her money , makes her invisible now to you. A judge would laugh your ass outta court and if it was Judge Judy she'd odds are call you some funny names.

In fact a case weeks ago on Judge Joe Brown mirrors yours somewhat. A guy let his poker pal borrow 2 grand to sponser him in a tournament. Well the guy lost but was supposed to repay his pal the money but as a year passed , his friend started telling everyone about it.

He told them his pal wasn't paying him a dime he owed and the poker guy thought that he was being defamed . The judge asked him this...

Judge: " Do you owe him $ 2,000 thousand dollars ? "

Poker Guy : ( Takes awhile ) " Yes...but I was gonna - "

Judge : " Its been a year , you owe that money to him. If you hadn't even made arrangements to pay him back or anything you haven't been defamed , sir. You admit you used money from him to be sponsered in a Poker Tournament. Him telling others isn't wrong if you owe the invidual. "

You should consider yourself honored Bev, normally one has to induce chest pains first to rise in the Olney Threat List.

Jim, check your contract copy. You never followed it and your work was slow and substandard. I have the word of Jeff stating that, btw. What you did do is break your NDA and then feel confident to goose pile and insult me. Frankly, you're lightweight and won't take long to handle legally.

Blahblah... legal actions... blahblahblah... more threats and insults... Blahblahblah...

~Bev

[NatGertler]

You're not legally owed a dime.Except that you have specifically stated in this thread that she is owed money.No contract without an NDA.That's a fine little thing to say, except plenty of contracts exist without NDAs.You failed to return either before playing the act of being a victim.And you used her services without that paperwork, and thus owe her for it.

You have children to care for. I doubt that you'd hold up to anyone looking into your background. Be forewarned...blackmail is a crime.You may want to consider that last statement carefully; your statement suggests strongly that you would try to reveal background information about her if she doesn't waive the debt you owe her. It sure sounds like a form of extortion.

[Kurt Busiek]

You offered in emails you sent. Or do you not remember?

Not only that, but he twice claimed that he did pay for her husband's ticket.

It was after being challenged on that that he started the semantic dance about how the guy traveling with Gail was not the legal husband of someone named "Gail Simone," as if that made a difference and wasn't transparently dishonest evasion.

And I just got the below from a person that has been following this insane thread:

Rick,
Yeah, I kinda think some of those posting are kids with way too much time on their hands. I think the operative word here is "Absurd". When dealing with talented, artistic people, it is necessary to remember that some of them have egos bigger than their talent. I have found that big egos usually mean insecure people trying to outwit their own insecurity.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
Edmund Burke

Aw, look: Moby's got a secret penpal. Does this person realize the insanity has been brought about by you and your unwillingness to pay for work you contracted?

Oh, and 'Absurd' was capitalized! Not only does that mean I was noticed, that also indicates it's someone who's familiar with me.

And, Swifty, next time you wanna be so clever as to give veracity to your incredibly long list of 'friends', you might wanna leave off the quote from their signatures. Dead giveaway.

Is your crack legal team piling into the Van of Justice for that Florida road trip, Rick?

[Rick Olney]

1.
Repeating something that is a lie, does not make it true.
2.
So far Gail did back up all of her claims.
You, Sir, did not offer anything beyond vague threats, excuses and insults.




*Tweaks his nose*
Hence why this thread exists.
They are smarter than you give them credit for.

No, they're just a tighter knit community that follows blindly taking everything fed as the straight up truth in a matter played out ONE SIDED on this thread and forum. Find your rock! The sun will be setting soon.

Then why isn't it done already?

You must have THE slowest lawyer(s) in the world. You've been spewing the same crap since December, if not earlier. Just do it already!

Actually, you know what it is? Once everything is said and done, that's it. It's over. No one in their right mind would ever do work for him again without getting paid up front (it's not like he's going to publish anything, anyway), and he won't be talked about. He won't be forgotten, but he won't have all the attention he's getting now.

Is that what it comes down to, YOR? This is probably the most attention he's ever gotten in his life, and he doesn't want it to end, no matter what it does to him personally and professionally.

And we all understand that if you say something, then that is certainly NOT a guarantee that it will happen.

It doesn't involve you. I don't need an NDA to know that. You're just a troublesome troll. Find a new bridge to live under. :rolleyes:

And yet more insults from the twit. He really IS a one trick pony, isn't he?
