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

[CutterMike]

Cripes, I don't get it. Why use two firms? Unless both of them are "firms" of one lawyer each...

...Hired the second one to defend himself from the collection notices sent by the first...?

Only thing I can think of...

[Sarah Beach]

Sarah, you should speak to areal attorney and ask him the question exactly as this all unfolded from before the Dixonverse stuff. Sorry, you're wrong.

I have no idea what this sentence means. If it is a sentence. Can someone explicate it for me? My two college degrees in English are not helping me here.

[Rick Olney]

Let us know if anything worth laughing at is said. I for one refuse to join. I have enough headaches from the guy posting at groups I do care about.

Shires, nobody ... least of all me. You'd never get through the door.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Tonight the lottery is on...and I plan to buy some tickets. If I win ( hopes I can ) I will make this promise. If I win the Lotto jackpot for the $ 300 million I will pay everyone. I will pay all of you what you are owed. Thats my word to you.

Its $ 300 million . After taxes I should clear over $ 100 million and I'm not gonna be greedy. So pull for me people...and I'll take of you.

Then I shall hit every Comic Convention in the land and travel the world. :D

[rummblestrips]

Oversights happen all the time. It was correctable and was. You gonna be all tough and stuff now?

You know, I'm starting to think you need a legal wake-up call on this all, Tim.
It really is the only way that the fruit is going to get sorted. Apples, oranges, libel, broken legal agreements... Maybe you actually NEED me to show you by taking back the ICC ... and then shutting down Unscrewed! to put you and your dirty dozen friends in your place.

I had to quote this because.. because.. oh, you know why..

Tim, go get your fruit in order, OK? The apples go in the crisper and the oranges go in a lovely bowl that you put in the middle of your table on a frilly doily

Sheesh, you'd think you'd know that by now. You need a wake-up call!!

[Rick Olney]

Wait a sec..
does that include Mighty Mini Con #7?

[Rick Olney]

Sorry about that Bev, send me the dry cleaning bill for the blouse. But I ain't replacin' a monitor. I'm a poor Olney Orphan... I can't afford it!

BWHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!

Since the ICC is an organization of people and not an object, I think you'd have a pretty hard time "taking back" the ICC. No one is going to follow you, ijit.

"Dirty dozen friends"??? peanut, there are over 70 people registered at Unscrewed! now. And more all the time.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Wait a sec..

Theres a Mighty Mini Con #7 ? I honestly didn't know. I thought he was more or less razzing everyone about it. Hell ...I'd be rich so I can afford to hit New York a few days and visit some awesome shops and all. Even if a Con didn't happen there.

an "areal" attorney

AREAL-

1. any particular extent of space or surface; part: the dark areas in the painting; the dusty area of the room.
2. a geographical region; tract: the Chicago area; the unsettled areas along the frontier.
3. any section reserved for a specific function: the business area of a town; the dining area of a house.
4. extent, range, or scope: inquiries that embrace the whole area of science.
5. field of study, or a branch of a field of study: Related areas of inquiry often reflect borrowed notions.
6. a piece of unoccupied ground; an open space.
7. the space or site on which a building stands; the yard attached to or surrounding a house.

Uh oh, Sarah,

I thought it was a dimension from the Matrix.

[Blake Petit]

So wait, is he saying his multiple teams of lawyers are based in Chicago?

That I was on my lunch break?

Doc 'Oooo, Scary' Absurd

Oversights happen all the time. It was correctable and was. You gonna be all tough and stuff now?

You know, I'm starting to think you need a legal wake-up call on this all, Tim.
It really is the only way that the fruit is going to get sorted. Apples, oranges, libel, broken legal agreements... Maybe you actually NEED me to show you by taking back the ICC ... and then shutting down Unscrewed! to put you and your dirty dozen friends in your place.

Aw, did I get under oo tender wittle skin?

'Now'? You mean I only got tough and stuff now? Bugger . . .

Okay, lemme get a couple things straight here:

1) It has been admitted above the ICC is mine. Got it. Archived.

2) 'Libel'? Like claiming my court cases and the mental anguish my children suffered were fabricated? That kinda libel?

3) 'Broken legal agreements'? Like for articles that were supposed to be used with not only payment but also with merchandise from 2 auctions that were failed to be completed with -- wait for it -- payment?

4) I shall understand this to be a legal threat officially:

I am officially being threatened with legal action because I am owed money from Rick Olney for toy reviews written and used -- up until approximately 6 weeks ago -- on the MMC website. I am officially being threatened with legal action because I spoke up about such debts and unscrupulous actions. My efforts to help my fellow creators who are similarly owed money -- again, admittedly by Rick Olney -- by starting up 2 charities to assist them financially has been legally threatened to be 'shut down', even thought all mission statements clearly outline the anthology will have no direct connection with Rick Olney.

Furthermore, I am understanding the final part: 'put you and your dirty dozen friends in your place.', to be of a direct and personal threat to my well-being.

There we go. I think everything is clear now.

Y'see, I never mentioned Rick Olney in my previous post. And as a screencap can show, those changes weren't made until well after the direct swipe from Toonepedia was initially pointed out. I merely made an observation.

Or is that what's being referred to as 'libel'? Because no matter how my previous post is read, there's nothing libelous about it.

[Rick Olney]

So far 22 on the yahoo group as well..

As for the ICC... meh. If Rick gets it back (if Tim sells it to him) Tim's welcome to help run RFC.

I figure Tim already knows that I can easily PROVE that he didn't create the ICC. Well, at least not the ICC that he's peddling now.

Jim and I are pretty busy with freelance work, (although just because it has the word free in it doesn't mean it IS free.) to be able to do all the billion things we wanna do. So if Tim wants something like that we've always got room for him at the inn. :p

Matt --

I keep asking, but I will again. 1 at a time even.

Are you accusing Scott Reed of fraud?

[Coppervale Studio]

Have fun proving harassment when you send me stuff like this:



generally, people that are SERIOUSLY being harassed do not allow folks harassing them to be members.

Of course, I have lots of words you have said to me. Including all of your threats of violence.

Please. Give me your lawyer's contact info. I will give them a call and share all that with him/her/them.

Apparently, you practice a benevolent, nonthreatening harassment, Matt...

[Rick Olney]

I, ijit, am gainfully employed. Can you say the same?

Why, yes... I can. I'm also retired and although not old enough to draw Social Security ... can wipe your butt in a mean game of checkers.

Well its a step up from plagiarism... however unless permission for re-posting in whole or in part is granted on the originating site or express permission has been obtained...it's still in violation and Mr. Markstein could still insist on it being removed. Just because you credit a source does not make everything just fine and dandy. This is the real world, not a high school research paper.

Ah! I get it now! You're drinking again!

Oh, poooooooorrrr leeeeetttle sweeetums! You show how much you care with every post. If you didn't care, you could walk away from all this so very easily.

[Rick Olney]

I keep asking, but I will again. 1 at a time even.

Are you accusing Scott Reed of fraud?

It is a matter for the Courts to decide. Not sure if "fraud" is the right descriptive. I only talk with lawyers, I'm not actually one. :D

[CutterMike]

Cripes, I don't get it. Why use two firms? Unless both of them are "firms" of one lawyer each...

Oh, wait. I think I get it.

Question #2: Do you lay claim to the name Rick Owe-ney?

(See, I can do lame gay jokes as well.)

[Danny Donovan]

I figure Tim already knows that I can easily PROVE that he didn't create the ICC. Well, at least not the ICC that he's peddling now.


From what I remember of the ICC, from my time on the mmc forums that's not entirely a bad thing is it?

Jim and I both made comments that were to HELP you, because some of the things you had put forward, at the time for discussion, were short sighted and didn't have a full grasp of the industry of comics enough to realize what was truly needed in order to expand business and bring it to a level it once was 30 years ago.

Not in terms of content mind you, but in terms of profit, and readership.

From what I've seen of Tim's he's made some considerable progress with the concept to something that will work to bridge some serious gaps made by some short sighted individuals over the course of the past 20 years or so.

It's something that with enough work and decent grasp of the profession and what we go through, could work.

So believe me, if Tim wanted to take that to our little dog and pony show, there is a floodlight in the windowsill for him should he require guidence.

Well, I also have a play-by-plaay outline of topics and exact areas that I can't delve into.

And again, refer kindly back to my earlier answer to that question.

Question #2: Do yo lay claim to the name Rick Owe-ney?

Heh, heh... funny guy. It is going to sadden me seeing you (figuratively, of course) tossed under the wheels of the imaginary VoJ. :D

[Danny Donovan]

Oh, wait. I think I get it.

Do tell us what this gainful (which means, in legal terms, employment which provides discernable income) "employment" is. Because you have not made one discernable dime from TightLip yet. And may I remind you, after three years of no income, the IRS considers such enterprises hobbies, not businesses, and therefore any deductions for "business expenses" become null and void. (Last time I checked that is. I admit, tax law may have changed slightly.)

Sadly no. I recall us talking about YOUR religion and that upset you to no end ... so you left, vowing NEVER to come back or talk to me EVER again.

And look, a man of his word... :D

[Sarah Beach]

[DocAbsurd]

I figure Tim already knows that I can easily PROVE that he didn't create the ICC. Well, at least not the ICC that he's peddling now.



Good! Leave the light on for him!!! :p

Why, y'know something? I think I can prove something.

With easily half a dozen or more depositions that I'm sure a number of creators would be willing to legally provide (if they aren't legally threatened first), I can show that the entire concept of the ICC grew from a direct attempt to steal 'Shire's thunder' (as it was originally put) and 'knock him down a few pegs'. And that it was thru my persistence that it has become what I'm 'peddling' now.

Why someone would want to steal it from me now, I really dunno. I mean, someone has attempted to break ties with the small press community, called them a 'clique mentality' and walked out of several small press groups, only to parade back in and pretend nothing happened.

Someone has become quite the joke of the small press community.

And while I may write the humorous material, it ain't me.

[Rick Olney]

You did not answer the question. Do you lay claim to the name Rick Owe-ney? yes or no?

You know why I ask....

Actually, I don't. Your cryptic approach is rather offsetting to what I thought we were going to try and accomplish here.

And so we are clear, I AM accusing you of charity fraud. This is due to St Judes having NO record of permission for you to use their name/logo and also no record of any donation made by you or your "businesses"

If yo send me or Jen Joy any proof, I will be happy to retract that and offer a pubic apology EVERYWHERE I post. I will even keep the proof private to myself and St judes. And, of curse, the NY Attorney general

[DaveRothe]

Do you even talk for yourself? Why are you here?

He's probably not at liberty to say.:rolleyes:

[Sarah Beach]

Do you play checkers? Betcha do... :p

Checkers? Ew, no.

I've been known to play chess (though it's not my favorite). I do play Go (the Asian game), but alas, none of my close friends do.

I made a shirt using the name Rick Owe-ney. YOU complained to CafePress.

That would lead me to believe that you use that name yourself. Otherwise, you would have nothing to complain about.

So do you use the name Rick Owe-ney, or may I use it at CafePress?

[Rick Olney]

Well, I'm deeply sorry to learn that you have become a joke to the small press community, Tim. I mean, afterall, it is just sooooooooooo large in the circles you circulate. Seriously... :(

As far as "stealing thunder" ... it never involved copyrights or trademarks. So it wasn't illegal in nay sense ... and I, too, can call upon your EXACT words from emails now in the possession of my attorney to quell your banter. Maybe it is time to crank up the BLOG again? Post them old emails! :rolleyes:

[DocAbsurd]

You and I will dance legally soon enough... :rolleyes:

Again, the legal threat is noted.

Legal action can only be threatened for so long. If it is continually being used as a means of coercion, it can be seen not only as empty, but also as a direct detriment to the victim's well-being.

Are you sure that it was me that complained. Parody is normally safe unless you connect it to something like ---> a signature line that tracks back to an actual person substantiated by email proof of harassment. But I don't really know for sure. It didn't come up today during my meeting.

So you will be Rick Owe-ney now.

Next question: Does Barbara Olney know of yr legal status and lost cases?

What is her opinion?

Actually, I don't. Your cryptic approach is rather offsetting to what I thought we were going to try and accomplish here.

Not in terms of content mind you, but in terms of profit, and readership.

From what I've seen of Tim's he's made some considerable progress with the concept to something that will work to bridge some serious gaps made by some short sighted individuals over the course of the past 20 years or so.

It's something that with enough work and decent grasp of the profession and what we go through, could work.

So believe me, if Tim wanted to take that to our little dog and pony show, there is a floodlight in the windowsill for him should he require guidence.

Hmmm...wasn't Rick originally gonna try to name that coalition Small Press somethin-or-other? Didn't some guy point out the neurolinguistic defeatism of having a word like 'Small' in the title, and how the use of the word 'Independent' might provide a more positive and inspiring title?

Hey--wait...wasn't that guy ME???

Who technically named ICC, Rick?

[Rick Olney]

TALK TALK TALK TALK TALK! Not believing a word you're saying Mr. Owe-ney.

Oh, Dave... I'm so sorry that your wittle bitty interest hasn't been satisfied. :D

You were no where around, Jim. Ask Tim that question -- He knows who was involved and who called whom.

Hey Jim! If you hurry -- I think you can STILL get your name on the, "I'm Anna Marie's baby's DADDY" list. QUICK!!! :D

[Sarah Beach]

Are you sure that it was me that complained. Parody is normally safe unless you connect it to something like ---> a signature line that tracks back to an actual person substantiated by email proof of harassment. But I don't really know for sure. It didn't come up today during my meeting.

Quoted for posterity.

By the way, surely you are aware that the only significant connection of the letters "C" "B" & "R" with the word "Unscrewed" leads to two entities which have every right to protest your use of the combination as being detrimental to their reputations.



You really should stop being such an ignoramus and stop posting here. (Much as we enjoy the entertainment of you idiocy.)

[Rick Olney]

Well its a step up from plagiarism... however unless permission for re-posting in whole or in part is granted on the originating site or express permission has been obtained...it's still in violation and Mr. Markstein could still insist on it being removed. Just because you credit a source does not make everything just fine and dandy. This is the real world, not a high school research paper.

Thanks, DarkMind. I'm sure Mr. Markstein has gotten a thousand emails today and he'll graciously allow or refuse as he sees fit. Either way... it won't detract from what was meant and implied by shedding light on Peter Costanza.

[Crowley]

Who the hell is "Anna Marie"?

[Sarah Beach]

Why yes, I am. I actually have a degree in advertising, lay-out and design. Although I don't use it and have not worked in that industry since the early 80s. When you were ... HOW old? Heh, heh... :p



I don't know.....(she asks rhetorically)... is it worth responding to this?

Good: you know that offsetting is a printing process. But your use of the term in the passage I quoted was incorrect, since the context had nothing to do with printing processes, and actually implied that you mean "offputting".

But what do you know? You can't even use the language you were born to.

Who technically named ICC, Rick?

It was Small Press Collation or something to counter Ians Small Press Association (which has later been renamed Self-Publishers Association you'll be happy to know)

And yeah, I recall that nerolinguistic arguement. And for the record, if anyone is Anna Nicole's baby daddy, it'd be Jim.

He has some kind of weird power, I don't understand it, I never will, but I'll always envy it.

That's some wacky historical revisionism, you got going there, Rick-Boy! You're not one to give credit where credit is due, to put it politely.

Hey--somebody ask Danny about who named ICC--again, by suggestion that the use of the phrase 'Small Press' was defeatist, and if he remembers those posts on the MMC forum.

[DocAbsurd]

Well, I'm deeply sorry to learn that you have become a joke to the small press community, Tim. I mean, afterall, it is just sooooooooooo large in the circles you circulate. Seriously... :(

As far as "stealing thunder" ... it never involved copyrights or trademarks. So it wasn't illegal in nay sense ... and I, too, can call upon your EXACT words from emails now in the possession of my attorney to quell your banter. Maybe it is time to crank up the BLOG again? Post them old emails! :rolleyes:

But you see, that's where I went wrong. I felt no need to keep old emails from 'friends'. After a year, I delete them all. I mean, what's the point? Friends don't need to keep 'proof' of conversations if they're not anticipating problems down the line.

And that's why someone else does keep old emails (although how he kept emails from myself when he recently admitted emails from other more recent conversations are supposedly lost is a mystery to me): he expects trouble because he 'knows' it's just a wrong word or a different political view or a demand for monies promised before the 'trouble' starts.

I do admit having problems translating the mangling of 'Well, I'm deeply sorry to learn that you have become a joke to the small press community, Tim. I mean, afterall, it is just sooooooooooo large in the circles you circulate.' The cheap 'out-of-context' joke was entirely expected, but I don't understand the inclusion of 'large'.

Is that to mean I am a joke? If so, that doesn't quite explain why I've gotten 6 new assignments in as many weeks from the small press community. Or why I've been requested to submit pictures I considered far too old to print. Or why I've just been invited to partake in a global online gallery show with my silly cartoons.

Or is that yet another infamous 'fat' insult? Because 'fat' insults are hardly topical when the intended victim has weighed 195 pounds for 4 years now. Would someone rather make a 'skin affliction' reference, since I still seem to be suffering from that?

So far, my blogs have either been about being a single parent or about my creativity. I have remained entirely silent about the inactions of Rick Olney. Both my blogs are, in fact, entirely open to the public and can be read at any time by anyone if that is doubted.

I've put off writing about this debacle cuz I've simply been too busy with other assignments to waste the time.

I will be changing that this week.

And they'll still be open to the public.

You're flattering yourself if you think I'd even bother. I respond here, because it entertains me and my friends.

As for being a bully? Heh. The giving of information can hardly qualify as bullying. Why I haven't even threatened to go to the IRS, and I include amongst my friends someone who is a high-level auditor in the IRS (and a major figure in SF fandom, as well).

Yeah, I'm impressed that you know people, Sarah. But I think even high-level auditors would be caught up in your game if they got involved with me. I mean, you've basically insinuated that you could have my tax record audited. That wasn't smart of you. Especially seeing as this thread is watch daily and in a few cases ... ignored out of kindness.

[Guapo Méndez]

Actually, the word "peanut" also has more of an enduring meaning to it versus being a descriptive meant to humiliate. So Sarah... stop coming on to me. :p

Never met Anna Nicole, but she would have likely fallen for me, if she had. I attract extremely beautiful, fucked up women. Can't begin to tell you why. Sad news is, she'd probably still be alive.

It's not just a 'rumor' if it's a factual event. Just because you may have deleted all my posts on MMC, that doesn't an any way alter reality. I even remember (I believe) DocAbsurd getting a little miffed at me for implying that 'Small Press' was defeatist.

You intimated that Scott Reed somehow defrauded you, yet did not say it directly when asked.
You ignored a question about Barbara's opinion repeatedly. And you lied about not contacting CafePress.

THIS is why no one believes you...and why no one will "give you a fair shake". You want people to accept your answers? Try giving some.

[Rick Olney]

Hmmm...wasn't Rick originally gonna try to name that coalition Small Press somethin-or-other? Didn't some guy point out the neurolinguistic defeatism of having a word like 'Small' in the title, and how the use of the word 'Independent' might provide a more positive and inspiring title?

Hey--wait...wasn't that guy ME???

Who technically named ICC, Rick?

Here's an interesting note, James:

Rick Olney called me one day, ranting about how Ian was getting up his nose (insert out-of-context insult here) and still insisting on using 'small'. I suggested the 'Independent Creators Coalition'.

He jumped at it immediately. Now I know why.

It wasn't until January that I found out he'd actually promised money (i.e., hired someone) to someone to work behind the scenes of the ICC while I was providing the ideas and contacts for free.

As I've said before, I delayed a lot with the group because of the the 'head games' that I'm now being alleged to partake in with my abusive ex-wife. I simply couldn't focus beyond that.

But Rick Olney also hedged on the financing for the ICC. It was promised that monies would be there for T-shirts, calendars, anthologies; it was also promised that the ICC would be officially registered as a not-for-profit group with my name solely on the papers.

None of that ever happened.

. . .

I anxiously await the denial of the above claims.

[JTPencils]

No contract existed on either matter. Again, there are very damning facts for the parties involved that have not .. AND WILL NOT be brought to light on this or any message board forum. Just watch each other drop off one. by. one.

OK, I'll admit here to being completely lost. Now there's supposed to be a show cause contract, AND a fraud contract?

Those weren't contracts Comcman was referring to. But reason's (and pretty clear one's I think) of why you're standing on thinner ice in hopes of overturning any judgment that you didn't show for... as well as what you'd have to prove as far as fraud.

(Geesh, he think's there's contracts for everything!)

[Matt Doc Martin]

It might as well be. He ducks questions like no one's business.

Rick thinks he's important enough to be considered an "ENEMY"
Good god. He still doesn't get all this.

He been using the 'enemy' word for years now. He enjoys making enemies as it makes him feel more important. If you can't get someone to love you, get someone to hate you, right?

Again, I think it's so sad that he's sunk this low. Every time he posts, his words are more garbled. If he is indeed getting legal help from the Marines, I hope they get him some mental help first.

[Sarah Beach]

Rutt roh... I have a 'Sarah Beach' imposter on my hands!!!

Oh, you've been carrying on some sort of correspondence with one of the 99 other Sarah Beaches on the Internet under the mistaken assumption it was ME? Poor fellow. Well, that's your problem, not mine.

Yeah, I'm impressed that you know people, Sarah. But I think even high-level auditors would be caught up in your game if they got involved with me. I mean, you've basically insinuated that you could have my tax record audited. That wasn't smart of you. Especially seeing as this thread is watch daily and in a few cases ... ignored out of kindness.

You are such a joke. I did not insinuate any such thing.

(1) I said I had not threatened you with the IRS.
(2) I said I knew a high-level auditor in the IRS.

My point was, I have an authority source (as we call it in my job) to whom I can turn for specific information (about procedures, ijit - I've no interest in your personal records), should I so desire. And frankly, the government actually likes it when citizens inform them of possible tax fraud and/or evasion. Your own statements in this thread, TODAY, raise possible questions in this area, since you claimed, just a while ago, that you are indeed gainfully employed. And there are no tax records for this income.

You guys have GOT to see the talking fish story. It is absolutely the worst-written fan-ficciest thing I've ever seen.

[DocAbsurd]

Wow... if that is libel, then I have a whole book on you, chum.

'Libel', 'chum', would be stating that I am lying about the situation with my ex-wife that lead up to my divorce and several returns to court against her, and lying to Daphne in some fashion. Or, as you stated:

Note the pimple on my ass too, while you're at it, Mr. Tobolski. Play the head games with the main squeeze or your ex. I'm booked and can't give you much more time.

Y'see, that is libel. It is written falsehoods you are attempting to spread about my past and my future. I have court documents, a folder full to overflowing with paperwork I can scan in and post to prove I am not making anything up.

I take great offense at the insinuation that I am being unfaithful in any way to Daphne. That is also libel.

And I don't think Daphne's gonna take too kindly to hearing about this latest barrage.

[Charles RB]

Umm... hate to burst your bubble, but no it isn't.

Have you got any proof for this? And why wouldn't it be filed, considering you deliberately refused to show up for a court case and therefore are in contempt of court?

a show cause order supporting fraud to the court will be pressed.

If you have evidence the allegations against you were faked, why didn't you go to the original court case and present the evidence there?

I now have two law firms working on these cases

How exactly do you have the money to pay for two law firms but have not had the money to pay for freelancers Tightlip hired?

No, it's actually a new publishing effort I'm producing on the local level

Why do you think this effort will work when Tightlip failed so spectacularly? And again, where are you getting the money from?

You know, I'm starting to think you need a legal wake-up call on this all, Tim.

You have threatened this before and yet done nothing - why should he believe you? Also, didn't you previously

then shutting down Unscrewed!

On what grounds? You can't accuse it of libel as the comic itself does not reference you and the website mentions things you've factually done.

No contract existed on either matter.

You, in a business transaction while running a small company, didn't draft any contract in regards to payments?

I have had people say that my bad side is one of the worst they've ever seen on a person.

Are you threatening Sarah here?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v425/orcafresh/Smilies/usmclogo.png

Do you have any proof that you were a marine that isn't flimsy and presumed faked? You haven't shown any so far?

It is a matter for the Courts to decide. Not sure if "fraud" is the right descriptive.

So are you or are you not accusing Scott Reed of fraud? That is the only way you could appeal.

Umm... sorry if that image scares anyone. Very often Marines in combat are called on to use the talents they have in removing a threat or hostile enemy. :cool:

Should we assume, based on the emoticon next to the "hostile enemy" comment, that you are insinuating using violence against people here? If so, why are you making public threats whilst simultaneously threatening to sue for libel and harassment?

[DocAbsurd]

Gail, wait till you see what I have planned for the 'magic fish' story.

A little hint:

A goldfish, some latex b&w paint, and four panels of the results.

That launches straight in to the 'civil statues'.

I just KNOW someone already saved that. Because obviously now he is insinuating we've become a threat or hostile enemy, and therefore, he's justifying using his talents (if he can truly claim to have, possess, or accumulate such things) to "remove" us.

That's pretty much a threat in my mind. Anyone? Thoughts?

So what? You doubt she works? Works at a desk? Eats lunch? Eats lunch late on tape days? Spewed diet coke?

Why yes, I am. I actually have a degree in advertising, lay-out and design. Although I don't use it and have not worked in that industry since the early 80s. When you were ... HOW old? Heh, heh... :p

Rick, do you really want to make such a claim that can so easily be validated?

[J. Morgan (Bat) Neal]

Re the spelling: entirely possible. "Ijit" is a family colloquial usage, however. For when one has descended even below the "idiot" realm. ;)

The Irish Eeejit is pronounced with a much longer E than the Texan Ijit. But both are splendid. :D

[Kurt Busiek]

You intimated it earlier. YOU decide if the lawyers pursue. I will ask again...

yes or no, are you accusing Scott Reed of fraud?

He apparently doesn't know. The courts will have to decide whether he's accusing Scott of anything. Not whether the accusation is true or false -- just whether it exists.

And they'll do it..."soon enough." Which is Olneyspeak for "never."

I can't be sure, but I think he just admitted to being a cannibal! My being here made him hungry? Holy Crud!! Shades of Jeffrey Dahmer! (the other phrase descriptive? I think he bought one of those "learn a word a day" calendars, and REALLY liked January 5th or something. He's used that word almost as much as his legal threats lately)

[Kurt Busiek]

I can show that the entire concept of the ICC grew from a direct attempt to steal 'Shire's thunder' (as it was originally put) and 'knock him down a few pegs'. And that it was thru my persistence that it has become what I'm 'peddling' now.

Why someone would want to steal it from me now, I really dunno.

Doesn't matter. Don't you have Olney on record, from one of his earlier pretend-to-be-penitent phases, stating that he has no claim on the ICC, and it's all yours?

That's called a quitclaim, made in public, witnessed by many and verifiable.

He's simply trying to sidtrack the issue again, in hopes that you'll get tangled up in his arguments rather than focus on the underlying facts that make all his dumbshow pointless.

It's been posted here at least twice and been sent in an email (that hasn't been lost on another computer) to my Daphne. It's been stated that he deleted the Yahoo group and the MySpace because he washed his hands of the ICC.

For once I'm not concerned about the documentation.

What I'm really wondering is why he'd want to try to take it. Again. Apart from the obvious 'I'm taking the ball and going home' tactic.

If I am the joke he alleges, why would he want something originally connected to someone who isn't held in high esteem by the very community the group is supposed to serve? Wouldn't that be a cross-purpose endeavor, more or less dooming the project from its very inception?

Or -- and this is pure speculation -- could he be counting on the fact that my involvement with the group might just carry enough weight to erase the fact that he had taken it over, albeit through rather unscrupulous means? I mean, he'd not only be getting the name, he'd also nab all the ideas and projects I came up with.

Again, this is just a silly little project. I only wanted to create a way for small press creators to cross-promote their books through projects that would allow them to -- possibly -- team their characters together. I have new ideas that might actually assist in narrowing down contributors, but I still need to lock down finances. I will not proceed with any group unless I know it'll pay for itself.

I'm refusing to get sidetracked. Everything that's happened in this thread, with the UNSCREWED! efforts, with the past lawsuits, all boils down to one fact:

Rick Olney refused to pay the creators he hired, whether verbally or contractually, for work that he used in one fashion or another for his own eventual gain. Whether or not that gain was ever realized is his own fault and well beside the point; the intention of hiring said creators was for him to make money.

Thank you for remembering though, Kurt.

You think McDonald's will sue? Bet Rick's dialing them right now...

Nah, he'll hire a third legal firm for this one.

Come to think of it.. he seems to hire legal help like he hires creative talent. Get a bunch of them, then confuse them with threats about paying later.

Actually, I'm curious. If Rick DOES have a lawyer (or cadre of them, as he claims), and then loses his ass anyhow... do you think he'll then turn around and threaten to sue them?

"You incompetent slow shysters, it's in your contract that you'd WIN! WIN! WIN! How am I supposed to return to that board and perpetuate my vileness with this loss on my head? That's IT, you are all on my shortest of lists, and will soon hear from my milkman!!"

I did have a value meal for the 60's though... It's called a Hippy Meal!

So says Hippy Dippy Dave

[JamesRitcheyIII]

Yeah, James. You pencil it and I'll ink it. So there. I dare you.

Who? THIS James? I've had a feeling for a while that you could likely do a better job of being faithful to my pencils than even I do. Only Mark Stegbauer has come close, and I go off into tangential 'experimental, dry brush, Kurtzman EC Comics War Stories'-Land.

I'm holding you to it!

D. Dilton, I haven't been posting on Unscrewed lately, because the few posts I have made have been greeted with utter silence, like I'm a crazy person who came here from another dimension where he doesn't suck. If somebody asks me to do something, I will.

Any ideas what to submit?

[JTPencils]

He's also "said" he's gonna do a lot of things. You know how THAT went. If not, start back at page one of this thread, and reread.

Do up a Green Lama. I'll experiment with it to make you feel at home.

Dont' mind them, they're just cliqueish cyberbullies.

If you're not up for a whole story, I say just do a cool Green Lama pin up, that can be used as a chapter break.

The antho has a theme of "david vs goliath" I'm sure you'd have a number of things that would fit that.

I still say Lama's a good bet. :) Plus it helps you test the waters for publishing your Lama opus.

quick note... military retirees do have access to a JAG officer to advise them on civil legal matters. however, a key note of interest that any lawyer, especially a JAG officer, would first and foremost do is insist (if not demand) that his or her client refrain from any personal contact with the other subjects involved (like...posting on message boards to provoke the other parties). any interaction jeopardizes the integrity of the case at hand and as such should only be met with information on how to contact said JAG officer or other legal representative of the case.

Well I am David but I'd hardly call Rick Goliath. Although he does think himself a Giant in his own mind...

Quick question for anyone belonging to that 'thriving' MVCN group:

Anyone have any times for corresponding posts from the flounder -- sorry, founder of the group? Or any emails from the group with the time on it?

Just kinda curious . . .

[Joshua Pantalleresco]

You guys have GOT to see the talking fish story. It is absolutely the worst-written fan-ficciest thing I've ever seen. The main character is a Mary Sue (surprise, surprise, Rick finds himself fascinating) of Rick at a young age, stealing comics from a comics store and money from his father (started early, I guess) and then there's a magic talking orca and I swear, it's so awful it's almost unreadable.

And that's not counting his OTHER works of 'brilliance...'

The key here is military RETIREES. That means twenty+ years of active service. For example, although I am a veteran, I am not a retiree because I did not serve that long. Neither did the *alleged* Marine who posts here, according to his own statements. Makes a huge amount of difference to your entitlements.

[Danny Donovan]

It's just an allegory. Remember, non of this is *about* Rick. He may have been the zeitgeist for all of us coming together and forming this unit but the anthology is about/for EVERYONE who was ever taken advantage of by someone in (whether real or imagined) a position of power.

So you could infer "goliath" being a shiftless indie promoter who shirks their responsibilites or the largest of mainstream guys bringing you on as an "asst." and then having you do all the work but taking all the credit.

The rest still applies to any civilian lawyer though too. :)

Which is EXACTLY why I'm calling bullshit on the supposed "lawyer(s)" and "meetings". ANY lawyer would tell him to stop posting or they'd drop him as a client in a split second.

TWO Law firms. Two.

Heh.

That's awesome. And he's not at liberty to disclose who they are. That's even better. It's so impossibly dense, delinquent teenage grocery clerks would be shaking their heads at the idea ANYONE would buy the story.

Umm... sorry if that image scares anyone. Very often Marines in combat are called on to use the talents they have in removing a threat or hostile enemy. :cool:
Quoted for posterity, death threats.

It is like a person claiming they are receiving harrassing phone calls, but then they keep calling the person they claim is harrassing them. And when the person tells them off, claims harrassment.

And he is far beyond being able to say "Just kidding" in regards to the iKill image. Meant as a threat, received as a threat.

We should be flattered, though, that Deadbeat Dick thinks we are oh-so-scary that it would take TWO LAW FIRMS to shut us up.

Heh. Not that THAT will ever happen.

Hey, Deadbeat Dick! You got me on ignore, or something? You haven't replied to me all day. I'm beginning to think I'm slipping back down the list again.

No contract existed on either matter. Again, there are very damning facts for the parties involved that have not .. AND WILL NOT be brought to light on this or any message board forum. Just watch each other drop off one. by. one.

Oh, but I bet there was a contract, just not one you wrote.

Contract 101: All you need for a contract is an offer, acceptance and consideration. It does not need a document that says "CONTRACT" on the top.

If you ask someone to do something and they say yes and then do what was asked, there is a valid contract. The other party did something to there detriment based on an offer of compensation.

An email or letter is all that is needed. "Will you design a website for me?" "Yes, it will be $100." "Sounds great." Contract formed. Offer & acceptance & acceptance of terms.

I don't recall the specifics of the case you already lost, but this seems close to Ronee's situation. "Will you do press releases for me? I'll pay you $25 each." "OK, here is the press release." Contract formed. Offer, acceptance, consideration.

Not so tough, really.

[DungeonmasterJim]

After 1233 pages and some 15,000 posts, I think my favorite Olney memory is after all the e-mail's and whatnot's of 'I lost your address...' by Olney, he found that former ORCA member's info from 10 years ago in like 10 minutes. LOL!

After seeing my brother's bills from his attorney for the occassional meeting, and the bill my friends paid to have an attorney incorporate their business for them, there's no way in hell I believe he has not one but two law firms dissecting e-mails, forum posts and cases against people here. But that's hardly new news around here.

I'm guessing even She-Hulk wouldn't represent him and she's a fictional character!
