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

[Calliope's Comics]

Chris,
Ever stop to wonder why OTHER comic shops have not taken as open a stance as you have? Think about it... :rolleyes:


Hmm......thinking.....thinking....thinking....oh, is it because they are not friends with Billy Tucci and did not want his name being attached to the fiasco that was TLE.

[Crowley]

And speaking of Law 101...
Oh, and then there is that AGE consideration. Say good-bye to your photobucket account, Brian! :D

I have seven, plus 3 Flickrs, an ImageShack and my personal website...
you think I'm sweating this?

Rick, you're a hollow little shit... no one fears you.

[Rick Olney]

prove your Marine Corp record and I will immediately post an apology...

come on Rick... do one thing right.


Look, I have no intention ... nor do I need to 'prove' anything to anyone posting on this clearly one-sided, socially disturbing message board thread.

If you really care THAT much about my personal time spent as a United States Marine ... talk to people who already know that for fact. :rolleyes: Oh, and grow up a tad, lad!

[Howler]

Brian, I'm sure you've broken Photobucket's policy on images. Expect to hear from them. :rolleyes:

Hey inbred boy, after you do that, have a talk with Imageshack and have them remove these images I made of you a while back. Though I may remove the one with Billy Tucci myself since he's made it clear he was never a friend of yours and wants nothing to do with you.

I'm not here to try and make anyone "fear" me, Brian. Your images, if found to be just as equally demeaning and constuting hatred will be dealt with likewise.

Let's see... that was 3 Flickrs, an ImageShack and your personal website, right?

How can anyone talk to people who don't exist? Or are those the voices you hear when you drink too much?

I don't normally address trolls hiding behind poorly made-up screen names. Step out from behind your curtain, Howler.

[CutterMike]

Everytime I went to watch Firefly either Fox pre-empted it for a MLB game or it aired minutes after it should have. I did watch Serenity which was kinda cool.

You REALLY want to buy/borrow/rent the boxed set and waych it. I had pretty much the same experience as you and gave up. A friend *FORCED* me to take her set home (of videos, you perverts... keep it clean!) and watch it.

My daughter and I got hooked - to the point of my making her the hat/shirt combo:

[Joshua Pantalleresco]

I noticed a clumsy attempt at a legal threat over the satirical song you composed, and just wanted to let you know that in the event you're pursued legally for that post, I've got an attorney who will represent you - and I'll cover all of the costs. Period.

(PS - And before anyone says that this is some sort of Waidian heroic gesture, it isn't. Mark offered to pay costs for people pursuing their own cases for money owed them. I just offered to pay for costs on a legal action that will NEVER, EVER happen. Just making sure Josh knows I've got his back.)

(PPS - Which sparks an idea for a REAL offer: I will donate a thousand bucks to the charity of your choice, for whomever can produce the name and contact info of an attorney who will acknowledge representing Rick. But I have an idea I won't have to pull out my wallet for THAT, either.)

Why thank you James. Should he pursue something, I'll let you know. I appreciate it.

And Olney, was it childish? Absolutely. But then again, just one word: Parody. Look it up.

Hey, Dick!

I was just on the phone with Matt, and we had a couple questions for ya! Think ya can handle that, Dick?

1.) Are you going to abide by the judgements in the court cases you have ALREADY LOST, and pay the people who won them?

2.) The clock's ticking! Are you going to pay JT before the time limit is up?

3.) Why didn't you show up for your court date last Wednesday, thereby ensuring that you lost it?

See? They're not terribly difficult to answer. Unless you've been hitting the bottle to drown your sorrows again.

A "tad too much".... Olney-speak for "shit-faced to the point even the misspellings were misspelled".



So you're, what, 0 for 2 in court cases so far? Why not comment on why you never appeared instead of diverting things? Too drunk or too cowardly?

Oh, sorry, 3 questions in a row are tough for you to answer... I suspect none of them will be acknowledged.

[Howler]

I don't normally address trolls hiding behind poorly made-up screen names. Step out from behind your curtain, Howler.

Well lets see, my name is Mike Howell and I've been called Howler by friends and family for about 30 years. I'm not sure if it's as witty as when you had orcafresh as a screen name but it works for me.

Now can you address the fact you are not wiccan, had grandparents that were cousins, Billy Tucci is not and has never been your friend and tell me if you'll contact Imageshack about me?

Bev,

In answer to your questions, and please copy my answers for posterity...

1.) Any small claims cases will be challenged and overturned based on the introduction of credible evidence which the court(s) in question will want to be made aware of.

2.) No, Jim Taylor's timeline is moot. He is more than welcome to pursue his legal claims. I think it is great men like Mark Waid and now, Mr. Coppervale, have stepped forward to assist in your legal fees. I actually may have a bit of news to my closer friends regarding who has intimated recently at assisting me in this very clear case of online bullying.

3.) I didn't show up last Wednesdat because I was instructed otherwise. The court that riled on that matter will be very happy to hear the other side of what was actually alleged to be owed ... versus ... what was actually factually owed. Small Claims Courts don't get much of a pat on the back often publicly, but they do have a recourse for misjudged cases. Fraud is fraud. Having a contract versus only saying one has one are two different things. Just ask Mr. Dixon. He understands the 'game' of it all.

There. Your questions are answered. Now if I may ask one of you?

Why didn't YOU pose with that dashing Mr. Matt Martin holding lunch?

Not mine, not Matt's, not Gail's. YOURS and YOURS alone. Every time you post here, you ADD to our evidence against you.

And your "lawyer" told you not to show up? Seems to me, I'd be looking for a better "lawyer", and not use one that got his degree out of a Cracker Jacks box.

Small Claims actions are simple when only one side of what happened is told. It is reversible. 'Course, I know that dashes your little heart full of hatred for me, Kevin...

Your grasp of the court system is flawed.

[Coppervale Studio]

Having 'evidence' to disprove someone else's claim is exactly what people go to court FOR: so each side can present their evidence to allow the court to rule accordingly.

Not showing up at all, which results in a default judgement for the other side, and then expecting that the case can be revisited later, is bad, bad, bad strategy. If time was needed to gather 'evidence' or doicumentation, the attorney involved will ask the court for a continuance. For an attorney to advise the client NOT to show up, as has been publicly posted here, makes the attorney look very, very stupid to a judge.

But Brian, my understanding of the law is completely fictional and mostly based on me watching Perry Mason when I was 12. I really need to grab another bottle of whiskey. My reputation is really in the gutter ain't it?

[Coppervale Studio]

When only one party in a court action actually shows up at court, of COURSE only one side gets told.

And that's the side that wins a default judgement.

Regardless of any other evidence, NOT going to court for the reason that one was 'advised' not to will carry no weight with that court. None.

Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
I don't need commission, make my own decisions
That's my prerogative

They say I'm crazy
I really don't care
That's my prerogative
They say I'm nasty
But I don't give a damn
Getting girls is how I live
Some messy questions
Why am I so real?
But they don't undersand me
I really don't know the deal about her brother
Trying hard to make it right
Not long ago
Before I win this fight, sing

(Chorus:)
Everybody's talking all this stuff about me
Why don't they just let me live?
Tell me why I don't need commission
Make my own decisions
That's my prerogative
It's my prerogative (it's my prerogative)

It's the way that I wanna live (it's my prerogative)
I can do just what I feel (it's my prerogative)
No one can tell me what to do (it's my prerogative)
'Cause what I'm doing I'm doing for you

Don't get me wrong
I'm really not souped
Ego trips is not my thing
All these strange relationships really gets me down
I see nothing wrong in spreading myself around

(Chorus)

I can do what I wanna do (it's my prerogative)
I can live my life (it's my prerogative)
And I'm doing it just for you (it's my prerogative)

Tell me, tell me why can't I live my life
Live my life without all of the things
That people say oh

Yo, teddy kick it like this
Oh no no I can do what I wanna do
Me and you together together together together together

(Repeat chorus ad lib and fade)

Wow... um... wow.

Because we've already established that you don't pay.

[the4thpip]

Having 'evidence' to disprove someone else's claim is exactly what people go to court FOR: so each side can present their evidence to allow the court to rule accordingly.

Not showing up at all, which results in a default judgment for the other side, and then expecting that the case can be revisited later, is bad, bad, bad strategy. If time was needed to gather 'evidence' or documentation, the attorney involved will ask the court for a continuance. For an attorney to advise the client NOT to show up, as has been publicly posted here, makes the attorney look very, very stupid to a judge.

/
Of course, we all know that his lawyer didn't tell him not to show up that day. What really happened was that Peanut spent that day under his flee-infested blanket, trying to use "The Force" to win the case.

*Sniff* I do believe I smell the unmistakable stench of fat in the fryer.

Reek, I have some more personal info about me if you need it before you'll stoop to addressing a troll like me.

Let's see, unlike you I am a wiccan, Gardnerian Wicca to be precise and have been for 25 years. I'm a father of a little girl who is the best thing in my life. I went to the University of Toronto where I got my degree in mathematics. I'm 6'7" and down to 280lbs from a high of about 310lbs a year ago. I love comic books and have a collection of over 15 thousand books going back to the 1940's. My favorite author is Neil Gaiman and my favorite artist is Paul Smith who I was thrilled to see posting in this very thread before. Hi Paul!

Any other info you need before you'll address me? Or will you find another reason not to discuss Billy Tucci disavowing any friendship with you and your lies of been wiccan?

[the4thpip]

So what you're saying is if everyone in here Googles Rick's name about 50 or 100 times we could make it #1? Now I'm not suggesting anyone do that...

Actually, google mostly goes by links directed to this site. So if we all put a link to this thread called "Rick Olney" into our signatures here and on other (searchable) sites and boards, that would help.

[Rick Olney]

Yes, we are! I want it to be the very first thing someone finds if they Google his name. I want the TRUTH out there, not the crap he's been spreading.

~Bev

And, while we're on the subject of Google -- It frowns on being being duped. So all this effort to make my name more famous than it is will likely fall apart after Google itself realizes that you've all got a more damaging action behind your efforts. Again, goes to show motive, Your Honor.

Well, have to go now. Tell Mordechi I said, "Howdy!"

[Gail Simone]

Sarah, very happy for you, dear. But if you think anything so attached to the way you and your friends have attacked me will stand up in a REAL court of law ... you're mistaken.

"Unscrewed!" might be a great idea, but until you have your ducks in order and stop making it a social attack ... it has little hopes of being anywhere near what you each had hoped.

It's already raising money and helping spread the word about a disgusting deadbeat.

It's a smashing success, but of course, never having had one yourself, you'd never know what that's like.

Think the opposite of failure, which you know much more intimately.

I can't believe that you all think you're on all the facts of these various accusations against me. Sure, tell Ronee to not bother taking my offer. actually, she hasn't much of a chance in NOT taking my offer. Ronee, I'd advise using some of Waid's money to go see and speak with an attorney.

And, where Billy Tucci is concerned ... Billy is more than welcome to think or act as he may under your microscope here. Were I him, I wouldn't respond any other way either. Again, I don't speak for the man...as you appear to.

Actually, if I might correct this statement (and win back Bev's love! *Cries*!:p )

The motive is to set up a backing for creators who find themselves dealing with ANYONE who does not operate above board.

Not just one person, it's just currently one person has damaged a great deal of people. But it'll still be running strong.

[Joshua Pantalleresco]

When only one party in a court action actually shows up at court, of COURSE only one side gets told.

And that's the side that wins a default judgement.

Regardless of any other evidence, NOT going to court for the reason that one was 'advised' not to will carry no weight with that court. None.

Not only that, but even in the event the evidence is a landslide in one direction, showing up actually makes it more likely that your sentence is reduced. At least you can confess in person. Even if there is no chance of winning ANY lawyer would advise showing up. The screwing tends to be less in person.

But I just had a thought, if Olney had a lawyer, wouldn't saying their name put them out of business? I know I wouldn't want that representation.

Mike, no offense... but, unlike you ... I really don't care what religion a person practices or believe in.

I have no care what any religion a person believes in. I've studied many of them through the years and find things I like about all of them. What I do care about is when someone pretends to be something they are not. Because of my faith, my daughter has had rocks thrown at her in school. We've had dead animals placed on our lawn. Wiccans face a great many ignorant people who accuse us of being evil. We do no need someone like yourself who has been shown to lie and break the law to pretend to be wiccan and give a bad impression of us. So yes, I'll continue caring about the fact you call yourself a wiccan here. Maybe you can address why you've said you are a christian elsewhere? You can't be both, so which is it?

And, where Billy Tucci is concerned ... Billy is more than welcome to think or act as he may under your microscope here. Were I him, I wouldn't respond any other way either. Again, I don't speak for the man...as you appear to.

I don't speak for Billy, never met the man in my life except for walking past him once almost a decade ago. I do speak of the facts provided here from an email sent by Billy on this matter.

If I might reinterate... Billy contacted me personally, out of his own volition. And asked me to speak on his behalf to clear up his alliegences.

And to let me know he stands fully behind Unscrewed! and will be submitting stuff for the auction.

Again, Billy made "first contact" THAT is how bad it is to be associated with RO. They go out of their way to make sure everyone knows they are not in any way associated!

There will be more from Billy after he gets back from Greece.

[Matt Doc Martin]

Congrats! You made the short list! :D


Rick: A suggestion. Perhaps you may want to start dealing with the list you have? I mean, several people have already handed you your legal ass, and no one has heard from your team of lawyers yet.

Hey, if you think I need help making a solid case against you for being an online stalker/troll that practices cyberlibel ... go for it, punkin'. :rolleyes: Infact, I'd plan on being in more pictures, real soon...

You dumb, dumb man. First, cyberlibel is made up. Secondly, IT ISN'T LIBEL! YOU SAID THESE THINGS! If I show someone YOUR words, how is that libel? I welcome any case you want to bring against me. I will make popcorn and everything. And maybe make $1000 for knowing who your magical attorney is.


Third, I understand that the corrections bureau takes GREAT pictures. So yeah, you will have a few more pictures taken soon.

Small Claims actions are simple when only one side of what happened is told. It is reversible. 'Course, I know that dashes your little heart full of hatred for me, Kevin...

That is kind of the reason why you should go to court. Now, the judge in NY gets to review the case and issue another writ of garnishment against you. Have Barbara get a second job. Or you may lose weight after all. And we don't hate yo...we pity you.

Ok, so I do hate you. I never did like racist, misogynistic, homophobic cowardly bullies. Call it a character flaw of mine.

And, while we're on the subject of Google -- It frowns on being being duped. So all this effort to make my name more famous than it is will likely fall apart after Google itself realizes that you've all got a more damaging action behind your efforts. Again, goes to show motive, Your Honor.

How is Google being duped? I imagine their team of lawyers is VERY scared of you.

Ronée:

You still have an option to be paid for the work you did between July
and your departure. It can't be termed a resignation, because
technically -- and by your own word -- You never actually became a
person under contract to TightLip Entertainment.

I raise this matter here and now not to demean you in any way. I
simply came back here and, upon reading the words put here by Danny
Donovan, thought you deserved a more realistic approach to working
with me to make this matter right.

It remains clear that libelous propaganda is a core tool of this
Unscrewed project. We have civil courts for solving those problems.
Again, I would think that talented people caught up in this would know
and realize that THAT is a viable first option -- not getting mixed up
in this online bully attempt to generate monies to perpetuate a cause
versus help talents solve their problems.

Please contact me off this board to work out the deatils to you
getting your money sooner than later. Thank you.

I emailed you, Ro. Be encouraged. We can put this to
an end fairly simply.

Shit stain comes back to a group he quit, which REALLY makes me wonder why Jim Main would allow him back...Why is that, Jim? Did people stop posting as much? Do you need the attention? Or do you like having people like Rick around?

For everyone else... I was told that a statement will be sent to me that was drafted by Mr. Olney's lawyer and I need to read and sign before payment. I gave him my mailing address again and told him to send this release then asked for an ETA on it. I am in no way saying that I am accepting his terms or plan on signing, but I do want to see this agreement which will hopefully be sent by his lawyer directly as that would make more sense. right?

First Photobucket and then Google!

the firm of Bartles, James & Associates are on the case!

[DocAbsurd]

When only one party in a court action actually shows up at court, of COURSE only one side gets told.

And that's the side that wins a default judgement.

Regardless of any other evidence, NOT going to court for the reason that one was 'advised' not to will carry no weight with that court. None.

I've been to court enough over the past 2 years against the ex to have gained some insight about 'not showing':

Judges, magistrates, even clerks don't take a very sympathetic view to not appearing when subpoenaed. It presents a waste of time, a waste of tax-payers' money, and diverts attention from far more important matters to the legal system.

Default judgments also carry with them certain restrictions, often handed down as penalties for not showing. Because my ex refused to attend 3 times in a row, the magistrate added an amendment that she cannot apply for an adjustment to the child support on the ruling for 5 years. There was also interest added on, compounded monthly from the date of last payment.

Appearing before a judge or magistrate is a privilege; you are given the opportunity to present your side of the case so a fair and equitable decision can be reached by weighing both sides of the evidence. Second chances are not easily come by, especially if you just don't feel like going. If you cannot attend a hearing, you are supposed to inform the courts and apply for a postponement, the validity of which will be decided upon by the judge or magistrate. 'Not showing' equals 'not caring' in the eyes of the law. Do it enough times, it also equals a complete disregard for the laws, the plaintiff, the judge.

So attending is out of the question? There's depositions, legal representation, I've even heard of live phoned-in testimony being allowed. If you are required to be in court, the legal system provides a great multitude of ways for you to be there, even if you can't do so physically. The most important action is for you to inform the courts; they take a rather dim view on lack of communication.

And an even dimmer one on lack of cooperation.

Attorneys are hired to advise you on the proper way to act. During the divorce, my lawyer suggested attire, attitude, even the tone of voice I should answer questions with. It was recommended I show up early and show respect; at one point I apologized to my ex's attorney for her actions. Judge still issued a bench warrant for her arrest.

Every time you are listed as a 'no show' is a mark against you. Files are kept on your record in an easily accessible internet database that can be called up in the middle of a courtroom, information that is not available to the layman. There's still knowledge about my ex (quite damning knowledge from what I understand) that I'm not privy to. But the judges called it up quite easily -- and rapidly -- for use in their decisions.

I've never heard of an attorney advising a client to not show some sort of representation at a pending hearing. That'd be like counting on winning a football game because the referee will call another one when your team won't board the bus.

Ain't easy to overturn a ruling if you weren't there the first time.

Yes, yes, we're all very much aware that you've learned to parrot things you've seen on Law & Order. Considering how often the various versions of the show air, it's not particularly difficult to do.

Shit stain comes back to a group he quit, which REALLY makes me wonder why Jim Main would allow him back...Why is that, Jim? Did people stop posting as much? Do you need the attention? Or do you like having people like Rick around?


Do you support his comments he makes here? His racist views?


Hey, Jim is getting tired of it too. He just mentioned that.

He let Rick back the same reason we ALL gave him as much slack as we did, because we felt sorry for him. People were still posting after Rick left. He tried to come back to the group and Jim asked if anyone had an issue with it, and we all said as long as he behaved himself we don't care.

Of course he didn't going through all the old posts and responding to anything that had his name on it, or had anything constantly making continued pleas to Ronee, asking for her to e-mail him off list, then responding ON LIST saying he e-mailed her off.

Now, as I understand it, these posts were not to be copied and posted here. Not that I mind, just that it was Jim's rules and I for one plan on following them.

For everyone else... I was told that a statement will be sent to me that was drafted by Mr. Olney's lawyer and I need to read and sign before payment. I gave him my mailing address again and told him to send this release then asked for an ETA on it. I am in no way saying that I am accepting his terms or plan on signing, but I do want to see this agreement which will hopefully be sent by his lawyer directly as that would make more sense. right?

I am not on Jim Main's site...I said a bad word.

If only I insulted women, minorities, and gays...maybe then I could be on his site.

Hi Matt...in answer to your question, he requested that I allow him back in and that he promised to abide by the rules of the board. I usually have a pretty good board going. I wish people could just take the politics elsewhere.

You know, I think I may have not given you a fair shake and if you want, I'll let you back on the board as well. After all, if I did it for Rick, why not you too?

I've never heard of an attorney advising a client to not show some sort of representation at a pending hearing. That'd be like counting on winning a football game because the referee will call another one when your team won't board the bus.

Ain't easy to overturn a ruling if you weren't there the first time.


Doc 'One Shot' Absurd

Heh. That's a good one.

I've had to sue people; I've been sued; and I've been in that space in-between where the lawyers just talk to each other and things get resolved without ever GOING to court.

Lawyers LIKE this kind of conflict. It's how they get paid. Lawyers DON'T hide in the shadows, and advise clients to do things that make them look like fools. They get involved, in the open, and send you large bills.

THAT'S how it works. When you have a lawyer.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Really Rick your case reminds me of a case that actually happened back in 2001/2002. The person who thought he could get a whole website tossed for mean comments and all...Mike Brown. Brown owned the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL.

The website was a rip on Brown's horrible running of the Bengals as a NFL Franchise. After a decade long losing streak and various blunders on draft picks and Brown's unwillingness to spend for certain key free agents the fans had , had enough. So they created a website ripping Brown.

The name of the site was MikeBrownsucks.com . It had stories of how horrible the team was and how Brown's cheapness for players and coaches had ruined the once great franchise. Mike Brown was pissed....he was pissed that a website ripping him and the Benagls franchise was getting so much attention.

He went to the NFL to try and have them shut it down. It didn't work as they told him its no lie for someone to critic your running of a team and create something to slam you if its happening in real life. The one contention Brown had was the Bengal on the website looked like one on the official team site. That was proven false as the Bengal on MikeBrownsucks.com looked like it was crying in shame. Where the NFL one looked proud.

It was tossed and the guys kept their website running . Even the website owner had said if Brown and the team started winning again the site would likely die. (It hasn't and is still around by the way )

[DocAbsurd]

I think this needs to be clarified, since it seems we've become the new center of attention of Olney's continually mis-directed ire:

Olney's inactions -- that is, his unwillingness to pay for work contracted and completed and subsequently used -- are what have driven us to create the UNSCREWED! relief efforts. We exist because of him, not for him.

When an unscrupulous business is revealed, whether it be those of Olney or someone else with similar motives of 'screwing' creators for their efforts, those creators who have suffered financially will be able to apply to us for assistance. Those details will be worked out in the future; right now, we're concentrating on the circumstances before us.

Olney will not be relieved of his debts. We are not going to court against Olney. The content of the anthology, just as the items up for the auction, will not be centered around Olney or any of Olney's supposed 'endeavors'. We editors have, in fact, been forced to ask for a re-working of a story because the content was far too recognizable for our theme.

Consider us a creative version of the Red Cross or the Salvation Army; we hope to help those unjustly denied proper wages for their contracted and completed creative efforts, proper wages they may have depended on to exist because they were promised either verbally or in writing. The recent talk of 'libel' and 'legal actions' is the stuff of utter nonsense. It's akin to Hurricane Katrina coming in and suing the state of Louisiana for being in the way, or suing the Red Cross for bringing in blankets and food. It's nothing more than scare tactics, and the exact sort of bullying we're attempting to expose.

Olney's walk-by ramblings on Gail's YABS, various websites, certain Yahoo groups, even his rather pathetic attempt at 'parodying' our cause at the MMC site, seem to be done just to draw attention back to himself; he's trying to make himself out to be 'David' to our 'Goliath'. Sure, everyone roots for the underdog. But under normal circumstances. A 'David' who threatens with vague legal actions, tosses insults and then runs away, continually badgers supporters, and does so all in the name of 'clearing allegations' really won't do themselves a favor in public opinion.

If anything, Olney is strengthening our cause.

And our resolve.

We know what we're doing here, and we're making our actions well known everywhere. There's no hidden agenda, no matter what's being inferred.

We're not looking to declare a 'winner' or a 'loser'. That's for the courts to decide. Gail gave us a place to voice our complaints against one individual, and his heinous business decisions against us. We're presenting factual incidents as they happened to us. There's no need for us to present 'evidence' for any court, legal or public opinion.

It's a way to give a warning to those creators who love their craft so much that they, too, may be duped into working for unscrupulous publishers, just to see their work in print.

No creator deserves to be treated that way.


Thank you for your kind attention.

So what are you going to do about it?

[Samuel Catalino]

My goodness! What happened to Matt!?

1.) Are you going to abide by the judgements in the court cases you have ALREADY LOST, and pay the people who won them?

2.) The clock's ticking! Are you going to pay JT before the time limit is up?

3.) Why didn't you show up for your court date last Wednesday, thereby ensuring that you lost it?

See? They're not terribly difficult to answer. Unless you've been hitting the bottle to drown your sorrows again.

Bev,

In answer to your questions, and please copy my answers for posterity...

1.) Any small claims cases will be challenged and overturned based on the introduction of credible evidence which the court(s) in question will want to be made aware of.

2.) No, Jim Taylor's timeline is moot. He is more than welcome to pursue his legal claims. I think it is great men like Mark Waid and now, Mr. Coppervale, have stepped forward to assist in your legal fees. I actually may have a bit of news to my closer friends regarding who has intimated recently at assisting me in this very clear case of online bullying.

3.) I didn't show up last Wednesdat because I was instructed otherwise. The court that riled on that matter will be very happy to hear the other side of what was actually alleged to be owed ... versus ... what was actually factually owed. Small Claims Courts don't get much of a pat on the back often publicly, but they do have a recourse for misjudged cases. Fraud is fraud. Having a contract versus only saying one has one are two different things. Just ask Mr. Dixon. He understands the 'game' of it all.

There. Your questions are answered. Now if I may ask one of you?

Why didn't YOU pose with that dashing Mr. Matt Martin holding lunch?


The only thing is that once a judgement has been made, then it goes up to your county and when it is recognized by the courts up in New York, then you have a problem.

[Samuel Catalino]

Just don't forget -- EVERYTHING has a price, kids! :rolleyes:

The question is who is going to pay?

[JTPencils]

I thought the point was to ignore the child... See he wants to get all mad and leave in a huff (as we have seen several times here and elsewhere) and then he cannot stand the thought that people are talking about him, or even worse, NOT talking about him and he needs to come back.

The greater good is to get the word out to others, not continue in verbal attacks or a battle of wits that he is sorely unarmed for.

I must say, I agree with Ronee (and NO, I can't seem to put the accent over the e... but I recognize it SHOULD be there... sorry). As much as it takes 2 to tango, it also takes (at least) 2 to argue. If one is left blustering and frothing at the mouth, they eventually go away. No one to play with. No one to argue with.

As I stated in my letter to him... the days of verbal jousint is over. I've set a date. He doesn't pay, I file my suit. Easy enough. If he thinks it's moot (which is about as smart as not showing up for a case), fine... let him.

I'm done dancing to that tune.

[Gail Simone]

Actually Bev and I made up...I did mend fences.
And I would never make racists comments or speak ill of women.

If you mended fences with Bev, that's really all I care about, so welcome.

Gail

[Samuel Catalino]

Small Claims actions are simple when only one side of what happened is told. It is reversible. 'Course, I know that dashes your little heart full of hatred for me, Kevin...

But it does not bode well for the one who fails to show up especially when they have been served with a summons to appear in court. though.

[Reverend Smooth]

Falling out of non-contractual promises is not against any civil law. Nevermind that you're a liar, something like that is dishonorable. If you say you'll pay someone, despite no written contract, you pay them. No excuses.

Remember Gail he already did lay the groundwork for that with Jim. As when Jim defended one of his members, Rick locked him out of the mini con, and deleted himself off the group then after taking some time to cool off asked to be put back on the group.

[JTPencils]

For everyone else... I was told that a statement will be sent to me that was drafted by Mr. Olney's lawyer and I need to read and sign before payment. I gave him my mailing address again and told him to send this release then asked for an ETA on it.

Problem is... he's made that offer/statement (that his lawyer will be in touch), to so many for months and months on end... it starts to sound less and less credible. No email, no snail mail... not even smoke signals. It's merely a delay tactic. Each day you wait for that letter to come, is another day he doesn't have to face the reality that he STILL owes you money. Do as you wish... but I think you've waited long enough.

[Gail Simone]

Nevermind that you're a liar, something like that is dishonorable. If you say you'll pay someone, despite no written contract, you pay them. No excuses.

He really doesn't get it.

If your word is garbage, if it's worthless, like Rick's is, then eventually, people get wise and trust you NEVER.

Like I said, a normal person would be ashamed by this parade of former friends who come forward with one story after another of how Rick cheated them.

Rick's not normal.

Gail

[Papergirl]

I don't know you, Jim, and it seems to me that you're simply being open-minded.

If you mended fences with Bev, that's really all I care about, so welcome.

The rest will come on its own, the first time you DARE to disagree with Rick, and he starts threatening your posters with fake lawsuits as he's done everywhere else for ten years.

Gail
Just to state for the record from MY side: Jim and I are cool with each other. We made our apologies to each other a few dozen pages back. We may not agree with each other on this crap with Olney, but there are no hard feelings on my end towards him. And I'm sure he'd say the same. Or correct me if I'm wrong. :)

~Bev

[SteveForbes]

Remember Gail he already did lay the groundwork for that with Jim. As when Jim defended one of his members, Rick locked him out of the mini con, and deleted himself off the group then after taking some time to cool off asked to be put back on the group.

That does beg the question as to whether or not Jim's been let back into the MMC forum.

-(just wondering) llama

[Samuel Catalino]

And again, I said a bad word.

Jim should step up and do the right thing.

Matthew,

Rick is back on the Grimone's group.

Best,

[Coppervale Studio]

I must say, I agree with Ronee (and NO, I can't seem to put the accent over the e... but I recognize it SHOULD be there... sorry). As much as it takes 2 to tango, it also takes (at least) 2 to argue. If one is left blustering and frothing at the mouth, they eventually go away. No one to play with. No one to argue with.

As I stated in my letter to him... the days of verbal jousint is over. I've set a date. He doesn't pay, I file my suit. Easy enough. If he thinks it's moot (which is about as smart as not showing up for a case), fine... let him.

I'm done dancing to that tune.

Yeah, I'm not all that keen to encourage a lot of back and forth stuff, especially when it's pointless (arguing with his non-logic logic). I didn't post here for HIM - I did it for Josh. Because I think the kind of (I'll say it again) candyass passive aggressive stuff Rick's doing with these "I'll have YOU looked into" threats deserves a response.

We all know it will amount to NOTHING. But sometimes people might worry - which is exacly why Rick does it - and I wanted to ensure Josh wouldn't, in ANY circumstance.

I'm unclear as to what the term Mary Sue refers to. I've seen it mentioned a number of times, but while I get the general idea I don't know either the genesis or full context of the word.

Anyone willing to enlighten me?

(By the way when I first signed up on the site so I could add something to the thread I was very pleasantly welcomed to the site by the extremely gracious Larry Dixon in a Private Message. Unfortunately I didn't notice the icon showing that I had this message for well over a week, but while I'm mildly embarressed I didn't respond I'm still feeling grateful. Thank you Larry)

A normal person would be ashamed of saying that he's not obligated to pay up because it's a verbal contract. He's obligated to pay because he made a social contract with that person to pay them when he bought their services.

A Mary Sue is a character in a work of fiction, which is nothing more than an idealized self-image of the author.

Basically, the Mary Sue would have all the traits the writer would like to have, and the fact is transparent to anyone who reads it.

Also, creating that character is usually the ONLY reason the piece exists.

[THEDOC]

23 threads with activity in the last two days is a pretty active forum.

Lord knows, you'd love for your MMC forums to be that active.

They've been consistently dead every time I've been on them.

Gee you can still get in there? I haven't been able to for over a month.

[THEDOC]

Hmm...

There appears to be some confusion here. For your official record, the Mighty MiniCon will indeed be taking place as stated. We are offering what we feel will be a rare collectible the form of our give-away CBR unscrewed glass. The initials "CBR" unto each letter doesn't mean "comic book resources" in our context. ...just as "unscrewed" doesn't denote any other effort or entity. We think the glass will be kind of a neat collectable.

Oh, and to Matt "Doc" Martin and Danny Donovan: The McDonalds Corporation has been informed officially of your use of their trademark.

Have a nice day, haters! :rolleyes:

Gee Rick, once the Jam has had it's successful run next week maybe Wally can show you how to run a successful convention. We will have official "Unscrewed magnets there. Along with the great Doc and Momma Absurds!

[Danny Donovan]

Hot DAMN you people are fast...

I am going to have you all investigated...

You're out to try to keep me from being seen as the genius I am..

In fact I just put a pitch before Jann Jones for a Batman story in which super awesome detective Daniel Donovietch comes in and shows the dark knight a thing or three about how to be a REAL slueth..

Then he challenges Bane to a cage match, and makes him cry!

Jann said that she was sending a restraining order! And as you all know that means they think I'm so creative they need to restrain me from going to other companies to share my brilliance!

So look for it in an upcoming issue of Detective Comics soon..

Paul Dini just called me to tell me how awesome I am and his wife Misty totally wants to go out with me. :p

[Yonar]

<snip>

All he's got is his fake threats which become more hilarious as the weeks go on, and the ability to brag about things in the future that will never, ever happen. <snip>
Gail

You forgot personal insults to people who do work, people like me who simply sit around and comment on inaccuracies, and everyone else on the internet. He still has those too.

I think this needs to be clarified, since it seems we've become the new center of attention of Olney's continually mis-directed ire:

Olney's inactions -- that is, his unwillingness to pay for work contracted and completed and subsequently used -- are what have driven us to create the UNSCREWED! relief efforts. We exist because of him, not for him.

When an unscrupulous business is revealed, whether it be those of Olney or someone else with similar motives of 'screwing' creators for their efforts, those creators who have suffered financially will be able to apply to us for assistance. Those details will be worked out in the future; right now, we're concentrating on the circumstances before us.

Olney will not be relieved of his debts. We are not going to court against Olney. The content of the anthology, just as the items up for the auction, will not be centered around Olney or any of Olney's supposed 'endeavors'. We editors have, in fact, been forced to ask for a re-working of a story because the content was far too recognizable for our theme.

Consider us a creative version of the Red Cross or the Salvation Army; we hope to help those unjustly denied proper wages for their contracted and completed creative efforts, proper wages they may have depended on to exist because they were promised either verbally or in writing. The recent talk of 'libel' and 'legal actions' is the stuff of utter nonsense. It's akin to Hurricane Katrina coming in and suing the state of Louisiana for being in the way, or suing the Red Cross for bringing in blankets and food. It's nothing more than scare tactics, and the exact sort of bullying we're attempting to expose.

Olney's walk-by ramblings on Gail's YABS, various websites, certain Yahoo groups, even his rather pathetic attempt at 'parodying' our cause at the MMC site, seem to be done just to draw attention back to himself; he's trying to make himself out to be 'David' to our 'Goliath'. Sure, everyone roots for the underdog. But under normal circumstances. A 'David' who threatens with vague legal actions, tosses insults and then runs away, continually badgers supporters, and does so all in the name of 'clearing allegations' really won't do themselves a favor in public opinion.

If anything, Olney is strengthening our cause.

And our resolve.

We know what we're doing here, and we're making our actions well known everywhere. There's no hidden agenda, no matter what's being inferred.

We're not looking to declare a 'winner' or a 'loser'. That's for the courts to decide. Gail gave us a place to voice our complaints against one individual, and his heinous business decisions against us. We're presenting factual incidents as they happened to us. There's no need for us to present 'evidence' for any court, legal or public opinion.

It's a way to give a warning to those creators who love their craft so much that they, too, may be duped into working for unscrupulous publishers, just to see their work in print.

No creator deserves to be treated that way.


Thank you for your kind attention.




Doc 'Setting It Right' Absurd

A noble, and fine enterprise. Thanks for writing that out Doc Absurd, you, and the whole Unscrewed! crew is awesome.

The only thing is that once a judgement has been made, then it goes up to your county and when it is recognized by the courts up in New York, then you have a problem.

Another thing. If I understand and recall correctly small claims/civil courts can only be appealed on matters of law, and not of proof. That is, if he has proof that was not presented in the original case, but no contention that the laws used to rule against him were incorrectly interpreted, then he is up shit creek. Is this true or not? Tom?

Again, he popularized it.

And then again it's not just that specific phrase, it's an an entire schpeal:

It's a specific phrase dependent upon the whole and not just the sum of it's parts.

Much like "Truth, Justice, and the American Way."

Sorry Jim I went off on Rick about my article in Comic Fan,he said what he said to goad me and I tookm it but I feel better.
Rick like I said is everything bad about Comics, Recently I paid the renewal fee for Jerry Bails' Who Who site and it was quite a bunch of money I didn't expect to pay and caught me by surprise. I paid it as I want to keep Jerry's dream alive. But I did e-mail his wife Jean for assist and the Timely Yahoo group came through in spades and even got an e-mail from Roy Thomas. After this Rick crap it was nice to see that Fandom still has a lot of great people and gave me hope (as this thread has) in people again.

I'm afraid that I my have bad news on the embroidery front.

I've found software that SHOULD be able to generate the correct format from the Unscrewed logo and downloaded the demo, but it doesn't seem to want to install on any of my Windows VMs that I have running on Virtual PC (I'm a Mac-Geek).

I have access to a couple of Windows boxes through friends and family - and, in fact, have an older one that a previous tenant abandoned up in the attic that I've never checked out, so I may drag that down and see if it's functional.

I've got a few tricks yet to try, and I'll keep poking, but it's beginning to look shaky.

If anyone else wants to try their hand, the company's site is here:

[J. Morgan (Bat) Neal]

The big thing is, his whole life he's dreamed of being a big wheel in comics. But he has no talent, no brains, no money, and no organizational skills. In short, all he's got is a huge mouth and the willingness to lie and cheat.

So, I wonder what it feels like to be utterly despised in the industry you've dreamt of actually being a part of for so long. Knowing that when people say your name, they're thinking of words like deadbeat, liar, cheat, and loser.

All his lies and fake achievements have been disproven and catalogued, and now he can't even take credit for THAT meager list. We know he was never a Star Wars figure, we know he had nothing to do with the 99 cent comics. We know he didn't come up with the Comics In The Classroom idea, and we know that working for him is the surest way of never being paid.

Former friends keep coming forward to say what a cheat and liar and screw-up he is.

All he's got is his fake threats which become more hilarious as the weeks go on, and the ability to brag about things in the future that will never, ever happen. Because he certainly can't brag about his repulsive past, now, can he?

This is his one way to pretend he isn't ruined in the industry. To come here and say that the future will be better, even though the whole industry has rejected him and his ilk completely, all by the simple act of revealing him by his own words.

I'd be depressed too. But I wouldn't be delusional, I would hope!

:)

Gail


I think perhaps he really is that delusional. At least part of the time. He doesn't care if “talents” or “professionals who are far from it" think about him. It is obvious he sees them as either a means to a personal goal or as "crumb catching, spotlight hogging tokens” He seems to have a real love/hate relationship with his beloved "hobby" and the "talents" who make a living from it.

He seems to exhibit a pathological need to control his public image. The NDA's, the threats of lawsuits over the smallest of slights and his venal reactions seem to demonstrate that. His other professed concern are the "fans” He seems to think that all these faceless and nameless fans all think and feel the same way he does. What he seems to fail to recognize is that just as many "fans" as "talents" are fed up with him.

I think that deep down he has a vision of laying to waste his enemies and his dream empire of what comics should be towering over the ashes of the comics medium as it exists today.

Or maybe not as the case may be. ;)

Gail

Hey Gail. Yeah, I think it really sucks people had to find out the hard way.

and I don't know about the guy before this, but I really can't believe he's a father of children and married the way he's been ranting here!! O.O he seems to show all the maturity of a 14 year old on steroids.

if he didn't screw so many people over, it would almost be sad. i mean, maybe he just comes from a generation who post on the internet not thinking that it requires any civility b/c it's not really talking to people. or maybe he's just breaking down b/c he's got a family to support and bills to pay.

but that's still no reason to do what he did to lots of people. you and others certainly have a right to be mad with him and take such actions (lawsuits. etc.). it'd be nice to see everyone get what they are due and let him maybe get back on his feet (if only to support the fam). Then not have to deal with him anymore. But some people require a little 'push' to do the right thing I guess.

[Joshua Pantalleresco]

Yeah, I'm not all that keen to encourage a lot of back and forth stuff, especially when it's pointless (arguing with his non-logic logic). I didn't post here for HIM - I did it for Josh. Because I think the kind of (I'll say it again) candyass passive aggressive stuff Rick's doing with these "I'll have YOU looked into" threats deserves a response.

We all know it will amount to NOTHING. But sometimes people might worry - which is exacly why Rick does it - and I wanted to ensure Josh wouldn't, in ANY circumstance.

Mind over matter with Rick as far as I'm concerned. He can make all the threats he wants...I don't mind because he doesn't matter. He reminds me of a blowhard I knew back in London Ontario. All talk and bluster, but when it came to anything that matters he was the first to tuck legs and run.

But should he press the issue, My uncle is a lawyer so worst case scenario, I give him a call. I'm sure what Rick has posted alone would constitute enough of a defense.

But it verifies what I've said about James Owen in my interview and what I said to him when I met him at the Phoenix Con...a classy, humble guy. Seriously, he's as good as they come. And I'm happy I've had the chance to meet him. That I have to say is the one good thing about this thread, the people I've had a chance to meet here.

Seriously, the honor is mine.

[MacQuarrie]

Falling out of non-contractual promises is not against any civil law. The work in question was actually never a commission. It it were ... it would've been started, finished, and a notice of completion would've been recieved on this end.

Paint this matter as you like. 'Diva' has placed herself in harms way now by listening to the lot of you goofballs.

If it were an actual commission, you would have put up a 50% deposit in advance. The only way to paint this is you tried to talk her intod doing work that you had no intention of paying for.

[Flamebird]

Hey Diva. . .

Unlike some "people", the remaining money I've promised to pay you at CAPE will be coming to you at CAPE.

. . so I wouldn't worry about any inconsequential threats from non-paying deadbeats.

I pay for the work I've commissioned.

:) Yes, you DO, Bert. Unlike someone else I know, who wanted WAY more than you, and then never came up with the deposit that I asked for. Your quilt is gonna rock, fella!

[DaveRothe]

Except I believe his wife is bringing home the bacon

Well at least we know Rick got home okay...

[IvanJim]

This is a pretty good explanation:

Thanks Tony. It couldn't be clearer.


(..and Danny, and James)

[Flamebird]

Thanks, we'll take that up directly with Google. ;)

Here he goes with the royal "we" shit again.

Is he claiming to be Queen, now?


Or is it just him and his talking magic fish? :rolleyes:

[Papergirl]

K where do I send em Bev?:)
Just bring them to Cape! :D

~Bev

[DaveRothe]

Just bring them to Cape! :D

~Bev

Ok it'll either be me or delivered by proxy (Tom Stillwell.):D

[Papergirl]

Hahahahahaha!

I do hope you can make it, Dave! You're one of many here I look forward to meeting! The cookies would just be a bonus. :)

[THEDOC]

Not to sink to that level, but if you've seen Rick in person, you'd get IMMEDIATELY why his making fun of someone's appearance is HILARIOUS.

Seriously.

Gail

Not to slam a great actor, but he looks like Charles Laughton from The Hunchback, or is that just me new eye playing tricks on me. I don't ever..EEVVVVVER want to meet him in person.

[DaveRothe]

Hahahahahaha!

I do hope you can make it, Dave! You're one of many here I look forward to meeting! The cookies would just be a bonus. :)

~Bev

Yeah every once in a while I'm able to gnaw through my chain and get free to go to a convention!:)

[Matt Doc Martin]

My bad yet again!

[TomStillwell]

I'm going to say this here so Rick can see it and, willing some kind of miracle takes place, understand something properly for once.

The money I'm raising by running the auction in no way resolves Rick Olney of paying his debts. Those are entirely his burden to carry. Those are his debts. A court of law will hold him accountable for his actions.

See, here's what Rick either fails to understand or simply doesn't care about, I'm guessing it's a combination of both.

Financial burdens don't disappear simply because the guy who promised to pay you something doesn't follow through. A lender doesn't suspend mortgage payments in hopes that a small claim matter will be settled in your favor and a judgment collected. The grocery store doesn't take IOUs based on money someone promised to pay you a year ago. Hospitals don't let you stay for free while you wait months and months for some unknown attorney to contact you.

Living in the real world costs money. The folks who were stiffed needed to be paid in order to make their lives work. Rick didn't just cheat them out of some money. He caused undue suffering to come into their lives.

The auction was started to ease that suffering. Humanity suggests that we care for those suffering. Decency calls us to action.

Rick doesn't understands these things because the only person he cares about is himself. The suffering of others does not matter to him. Otherwise none of us would be here right now. He'd leave them all to spin in the wind if it was possible rather than pay a dime to anyone.

The hope is eventually everyone owed is paid their due by whatever means. That being said, the auction is meant to provide for them now, when they need financial help.

[Rick Olney]

Yes, you DO, Bert. Unlike someone else I know, who wanted WAY more than you, and then never came up with the deposit that I asked for. Your quilt is gonna rock, fella!

We;; least we all know now that you're just mourning a lost sale, Ms. Sour Apples!

[WhiteRose]

Man, this whole debacle has just made me a little sad and disillusioned regarding the industry. Reflecting on it, I believe Olney's ORCA is a really interesting and different idea, if it was done properley and with some courtesy to the people that actually make the comics industry how it is, and I mean not just the creators and editors and such, but fans and everyone.

I mean, the idea is really sound in getting kids educated in a more entertaining way, lord knows I would've loved that through school. I think Rick might've just gone a bit mad with power. He's the head of the company, and when people don't do things your way one can feel a bit challenged. Unfortunately, from all the comments he's thrown at the people here regarding their personal lives and values, I also think that he is the wrong man to be heading such a company. Not paying for work done is one thing, and it can be settled elsewhere, but insulting and belittling the people you want to believe in your company and perhaps work for you in the future? Man that's dumb. That's dumb bordering on huge personality flaws that might require some counselling.

But yes. In conclusion, Rick had some good ideas initially. Unfortunately the only thing that was keeping ORCA and TightLip back was him. Run properley, they might've been a couple of really well respected companies.

Alright, I've said my piece.

Just another goofy ass troll talking trash... in person you're probably even more of a weasel. :rolleyes:

[DaveRothe]

Guess who's back? Is daycare over already???

[THEDOC]

Guess who's back? Is daycare over already???

Are we not surprised?

[DaveRothe]

Are we not surprised?

No surprise here. Skidmark misses us!;)

Rose, you're gracious if sincere. I am in no way leaving or walking away from the comic book entertainment industry. ORCA is coming back in just a very few weeks, and TightLip will weather the storm and fight the good fight. So the jury is still out. Well, actually... the jury has yet to hear the various cases. Again, thanks for your remarks. Never say never...

[Rick Olney]

No surprise here. Skidmark misses us!;)

Dave, guarantee that I'm not missing you. I still have all your contact info and it has been handed over to my attorney.
