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

[amboy00]

Just a note: Dick has been banned from CBR. We had more than enough of his asshattery here, too.

~Bev
Oh! Holy day!

When did this happen?

[rummblestrips]

You're next Joanne! just wait for him to either find some really gross animated porn of Arcee from Transformers, or just his general porn stash he pulls out for Sarah.

Mmmm... Transformer porn...

anywho
Looks like Rick has put himself in more legal trouble, putting articles from other people's websites without permission.

And attacking Tony because he's... short?!??!

Attacking people for things they have absolutely no control over? I remember in grade 3 the kids used to call me the N word because I have large lips, (eat your heart out Mrs Brad Pitt!) So, this grown man used the same techniques as 10 year olds to hurt his.. enemies.

Medication and a dark room with a large lock.
That's my recommendation.

[the4thpip]

Y'all need to stop being mean to asshats!

Finally I got to do one of those.




Did I do this right?

[PatrickG]

So... He compares himself to his "idol" Dave Sim and attacks Tony Isabella; I think that says something about how he WANTS to be regarded.

He can't make it in comics... so he wants to be kicked out?

Well, in any case, given Sim's stance on creators' rights, I figure he'd have some interesting things so say about a publisher who doesn't pay his talent comparing himself to Sim.

Anybody eager to add a fourth ring to this three ring circus should probably let Sim know about this whole scenario.

Beyond that?

I'm waiting for Olney to compare himself to Byrne, Erik Larsen, Todd McFarlane, Rob Liefeld, Peter David... am I missing anyone?

Maybe he could start LOUDLY comparing himself to Harlan Ellison as well?

Seriously, Rick Olney could be the guy who unites all the people who've ever feuded in the industry.

[Matt Doc Martin]

Oh! Holy day!

When did this happen?

Couple of days ago. It is why revived his blog. Same tired, lame insults.

But, that is life at the Asshat Zoo, with your host, Rick "Cockroach" Olney!

"I read the article created by Stefan Halley, reproduced here for your perusal review:"

I don't recall ever giving Rick permission to reproduce content from my site. He copied and pasted Stefan's article on his own blog and he should take it down (anyone have a copy of one of these famous C&D's).

Okay, I have to ask: What possessed him to post all the pictures from 2003 on one line? Because it really makes the blog look silly - since ALL the margins were shot way to the right.

There are three new examples of Paul's UnTimely Tales. I was immediately happy to see some uncopyrighted art on the story, "The Vandals", written by Carl Wessler with art by Joe Sinnott from a five-pager entitled ADVENTURES INTO TERROR #17 (March 1953).

You know, Matt, I was wondering if it really was "uncopyrighted" or if it was just that he couldn't find the copyright on wherever he got the art from. 'Cause I wouldn't believe a thing he says on anything, but rather would independantly double source any claim he makes. (That's my day-job showing up, heh.)

For anyone that would take money from kids with cancer, I wouldn't put it past him to steal some art he found.

He never pays for art anyhow.

Actually, on that he's somewhat right... However not quite.

I believe the line for public domain is like 1953 now. If it's unpublished by the copyright holder, or is renewed after I think it's 40 years now... It falls under Public Domain.

Hence a lot of old school heroes like Jim Ritchey's Green Lama (ok, Jim didn't really create him, but he might as well have considering how many people are getting exposed to him through his revival) are public domain after not being published since the early 50s.

At least I *think* that's right.

We may need the legal goddess Colleen Doran to expand on it.

I did a project for a publisher who asked me to research public domain properties. I don't have my notes, but the line in the sand I was to use was the late 1920s. I don't think the art Olney used is public domain.

Having said that, let's have some perspective. Printing 50-year old comics on his web site from a company no longer in business is a minor sin. It ranks on the Olney Scale at about a 2.3. That poem with the nook ranks about a 3. Putting quotes around Gail's name is around a 5. And so on and so forth...

(New thread meme- name an Olney "sin" and rank it on the Olney scale!)

The law changed a few years ago due to Disney not wanting the Steamboat Willie version of Mickey Mouse to end up in the public domain. I believe now it is the entire lifetime of the artist plus 70 years. I would have to check to make sure. Oh wait found it on Google here it is :

No the servers are just part of the Hong Kong Danger Duo. 3 times the danger. All of the tweener marketing is done because research has shown that girls 9-14 have the most discretionary income of all demographics. So prepare for even more tween-esque programming.

I don't think the art Olney used is public domain.That "line in the sand" you would've been using was the date when -everything- published before that would now be in the public domain.

Some of the things published after that will have now fallen into the public domain, because they were not renewed during the period when renewal was necessary to keep items out of the public domain. Please note that renewal did not require republishing the material, so the mere fact that something has not been reprinted is not proof of its current PD standing. Material originally published under copyright in the US as late as 1963 may be in the public domain.

Rick has referred to this entire thread as 'libelous'. A blanket statement, that would include every poster (potentially), but specifically those he's mentioned by name.

I wonder what would happen if one of us with an ACTUAL attorney had said attorney send him a REAL cease and desist, lest he libel US with his statements?

Right! Took da woids right outta my mouth. Hardly any of the golden and silver age comics material was renewed in the appropriate way, outside of Marvel and DC--from which you can surmise how many publishers thought poorly about the potential for longevity and marketability of their product. An easy way to determine whether a property is free and clear in the PD, is to go to both The Library of Congress copyright search, and the Patent Office trademark search. My plans to do 'Vertigoesque' graphic novels of the Spark Publications characters is completely in the clear, because Ken Crossen, regretably, an ardent alcoholic with the ethical issues as a businessman that that would entail, wasn't in business for two years with it, and was required to renew at seven years. Of course, if I used Jerry Robinson's Atoman artwork from that period, I'd be likely legally (and definitely morally) obligated to give him fair value for the use of his work, under the Berne Convention, he owns the copyright--but the use of Atoman is totally up for grabs.

Oh, no - I wasn't suggesting it as a vague threat.

More like forcing his hand. If an actual law firm starts an action against him (as opposed to small claims actions involving no attorneys), and he replies on his own, without any legal cousel from his 'two teams', then the full extent of his lying to everyone will be completely exposed. And I'd like to have a legal impediment against his posting more libelous comments.

Jim, I would love to be in a position to take that on, given that I'm at the beginning of launching a writing consulting service, and in (I feel confident) breaking into the "higher ranks" of the comic book writing field. So I could quite legitimately claim that his libels of me had the potential of being detrimental to my reputation and career. And there wouldn't be any problem covering the "untrue" and "malicious" aspects either.

Except for one thing: for some odd reason, in all his comments (so far) regarding me, he's managed to avoid a direct libel. (Unlike what he's said of Gail, Ronee, Joanna, and others.) Why he's been so careful regarding me, I don't know. Maybe because he realizes how little he knows about me and just doesn't risk it. I don't know.

But I'd certainly like to see someone who has cause to take it on.

I will support this action 100%

It's not the insult stuff (which Tony appropriately calls 'bush league', and applies to the fun we've had here at Rick's expense, as well), but the constant threats of legal action, and accusations of actionable issues like libel that are causing concern.

I started considering this when he implied legal actions against friends of mine posting here. But he implied it with me, mentioning my offer (and Mark Waid's) in a post where he states he'll be pursuing others here.

I have a lot of posts here. He's referring to the whole THREAD as libelous. And continues to state that everyone here is in for a legal wake-up call.

I don't like that at all. I get a lot of fan mail. And a lot of people are looking up things on the net about me, and my books, and the people I associate with. And I don't want to end up having to explain why I'm participating in a 'libelous' thread. Because it very clearly ISN'T libelous.

So. An having attorney ask him to stop ANY such proclamations isn't too high a cost. And when he can't even NAME his own attorney, much less reply to or defend against my complaint, then suddenly he'll be silenced much more definitively than just through board bans.

i REALLY hate bullies.

I loved your Matthau story. I am a huge fan of the late actor and I love The Odd Couple play, movie and TV series as well.

I got to play Oscar Madison in a high school production once. I based my portrayal off both Walter and Jack Klugman's performances.

I am also an ardent fan of Jack Lemmon.

I do wish I could have seen Art Carney's archetypal portrayal of Felix Unger though.

Don't forget that a number of publishers went out of business or stopped publishing comic books when the markets got tighter. When they did that their characters simply vanished. The publishers ceased to exist so they didn't renew copyright and since they simply went out of business they didn't bother to sell their characters to another company (if there were any company that would want to buy them... some characters were such blantant rip-offs of other, more popular characters it wasn't even funny).

The market didn't really get tight (as in the bottom falling out) until around '54-'55. Most of what I'm talking about went under almost a decade before--while these publisher/speculators were riding a wave. Many of the actual characters were no more or less original than Batman--an 'amalgam' of The Black Bat, The Shadow and Doc Savage--or Superman--with heavy reliance on The Gladiator's Hugo Danner with back-story aspects of a previous comic strip--'Olga, The Girl with X-Ray Eyes'--also from National Periodical Publications--most combined 'templates' of creations who'd gone before. Green Lama was a non=murderous variation on the Shadow combined with Captain Marvel, for instance--which turned him into a completely different character from either of them. A whole lot of these characters weren't gone because the market bottomed out, or they weren't original (one meager example--the creators of Atomic Thunderbolt did 'Flowers for Algernon' by Daniel Keyes' plot a decade before)--but because DC and Marvel won out over speculators who were in what they perceived as a 'get in, get out' market. Another reason--the same reason why Eclipse is gone, and Dark Horse is still around. Dark Horse never let their expenditure on peripheral stuff, like big, fancy offices exceed their means. Eclipse were a wonderful company, and I would have done anything to work for them more. They were honest and paid on time--but even mild amounts of hubris seems to have consequences.

EDIT: Around the end of WWII, with the paper shortage, coincides with either diminished production or outright withdrawal, by these speculators, because the profit margin was severely reduced. Just left that out. By today's standards, the profit margin they panicked about would be a godsend.

Okay, here's my Harlan Ellison story. It's not Hepburn, but it'll do.

A friend of mine used to do phone auctions. I would help register, and take bids. Then after the auction I'd call winners back. One auction, I had to call Harlan to tell him he won an auction. When I told him, he cackled like a kid who got everything they wanted for Christmas. Pure joy in his voice. It wasn't a large item, or a high bid, but it made his day. Not the image you generally hear about in regards to HE.

Best of luck to your daughter.

Best,

Samuel

[Inkpot1965]

Socko!!!!!!!

That's awesome Doc!

I um, almost got run over by Richard Keil's (James Bond villain "Jaws") motorized wheelchair!

Also I talked to Mr. Sulu George Takei in an elevator. That's actually a funny story... But it's hard to get across in text because you have to do the voice. :p

My nephew got an autograph from Takei once. While signing, he asked us to let the studios know we only want the original cast in movies. That tells you how long ago this was.

[Danny Donovan]

Jim Main won one of the auctions! ;)

No wonder Rick didn't stick around. :p

[Paul Smith]

I'm not upset about the short jokes and the fat jokes. That's bush league stuff.
I'm upset because the Vile One was the only one who commented on my great Walter Matthau story. You people disgust me!


Dude. Audrey Hepburn.

You come back with Walter Matthau? Even Walter Matthau in a Great Three-Part Novel Complete In This Issue?

Sorry. Audrey Hepburn.

kdb
Well, now you’re just being a bully.

You won Kurt, time to let the rest of us up off the mat.

[Matt Doc Martin]

Jim Main won one of the auctions! ;)

No wonder Rick didn't stick around. :p

Somebody let Jim know that I have new respect for him. If I had money to spare, I'd have bid on something.

[Cam63]

Dude. Audrey Hepburn.

You come back with Walter Matthau? Even Walter Matthau in a Great Three-Part Novel Complete In This Issue?

Sorry. Audrey Hepburn.

kdb

It would've been better if she did the Beatnik dance routine from Funny Face around you while you stood there open mouthed.

[Cam63]

It's not the insult stuff (which Tony appropriately calls 'bush league', and applies to the fun we've had here at Rick's expense, as well), but the constant threats of legal action, and accusations of actionable issues like libel that are causing concern.

I started considering this when he implied legal actions against friends of mine posting here. But he implied it with me, mentioning my offer (and Mark Waid's) in a post where he states he'll be pursuing others here.

I have a lot of posts here. He's referring to the whole THREAD as libelous. And continues to state that everyone here is in for a legal wake-up call.

I don't like that at all. I get a lot of fan mail. And a lot of people are looking up things on the net about me, and my books, and the people I associate with. And I don't want to end up having to explain why I'm participating in a 'libelous' thread. Because it very clearly ISN'T libelous.

So. An having attorney ask him to stop ANY such proclamations isn't too high a cost. And when he can't even NAME his own attorney, much less reply to or defend against my complaint, then suddenly he'll be silenced much more definitively than just through board bans.

i REALLY hate bullies.

When Rick wakes up each day, he's still Rick.

Normally, that'd be punishment enough.

[KevinTBrown]

Jim Main won one of the auctions! ;)

No wonder Rick didn't stick around. :p

I won one too. ;)

[Matt Doc Martin]

When Rick wakes up each day, he's still Rick.

Normally, that'd be punishment enough.

But Rick is insane.

He thinks it is a good thing.

Of course, he thinks a charity event is another name for ATM.

[Matt Doc Martin]

I won one too. ;)

I like you too, Kevin.

[KevinTBrown]

I like you too, Kevin.

Well we all can't show up to court with Happy Meal in hand to root for the slow and utter destruction of Olney. ;)








Now then, someone go bid on that Gene Colan Batman sketch I donated! Now, dammit!
:D

[SUPERECWFAN1]

My story with a few famous guys...


My uncle and my 2nd or 3rd cousin were in a diner after working that day. We sit down and looked over and it was the Rock n Roll Express sitting beside us. They ( Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson) chatted with us awhile and told us about their homes and all while they ate. Plus said they were on their way to do a card for Smokey Mountain Wrestling.

I've met Morton again last year ( at a small indie card where we chatted for 20 minutes) after the times I met him at SMW's shows in the early 90's. He's a pretty sweet salt of the Earth guy. Had his kid and wife/gf with him as he said he was tryin to pay his bills. I respected that a lot and bought a DVD from him.

Back in the mid 90's met Jimmy " Boogie Woogie Man " Vallient at a gas station. He came out and talked with me and my dad sayin he was on his way to Indiana to do a indie show. Gave us a t-shirt. I still have it put up.

Down in Charlotte I was doing some work and I noticed that this guy was pretty damn big to be wearing a suit and tie. As we worked we joked around and started chatting as he said to me .. " You ever watch WCW back in the early 90's ? "

I told him yes as my mind started wondering. Because this dude was clean shaven and was about 6-3 to 6-5 . So he tells me he was Norman the Lunatic. The guy who used to play a mentally challenged guy who carried a teddy bear to the ring. We talked a long while as he told me that the business wore him down and he was in it to make some quick money and get out. That he wasn't a " lifer " like Flair and the others. Guy ran a software or computer business and seemed to be doin awesome .....nice guy.

Congrats, Kevin! :D

You people have NO idea how thrilled I've been to check in on the paypal account and see all those winning bidders sending in their payments! I was literally jumping up and down for joy!

To everyone who bid in the first auction, you ALL rock my world! I'll give final total numbers after all payments have been received. :)

~Bev

[Danny Donovan]

Just when I didn't think I could get madder at Rick....

It's not my story to tell so I won't do it but I have to admit I am really pissed at the levels this has gone to at this point. Now more than ever we need to make sure this type of thing never happens again.

I will restrain myself.

Ok, so I have several inches on him. What of it?

[Cam63]

Use your extra inches for good, not evil.

[d newton]

I'm puzzled why the top 10 worst comic book mistakes list had Crisis on Infinite Earths on it while Millenium, The Crossing, Bloodlines & War of the Gods were left off? :confused:

[Danny Donovan]

Then PM me.

Sent it to ya! ;)

Don't forget to SLEEP, Tom! You've busted your ass to make this a successful auction. *I* have the easy job of counting the money, and, eventually, writing out the checks.

Speaking of...

I am so damned excited watching all that money come in to help the folks screwed over by Olney! What a rush! Still waiting on a bunch of payments from folks, but the numbers are looking fan-freakin-tastic already!

Go bid on the new stuff that's up, people! Let's see if we can beat the first round's numbers!

That, too.

~Bev

Oh Beverly.. lovely magical redhead with the money and the special powers *glaven*

anyway you could shoot me a rough estimate of the amount we pulled in? Just as a working number for the press release for this weeks auctions? I'd like to get a rough draft done by this weekend for Mac n' them to go over and then make sure everyone gets it by monday's press.

Thanks!

That, too.

Sure you would!
So stop back tomorrow!

G'night, Mordechai ... no matter where you are!


Neat! We're getting facts!

That'll be good for a change.

I kissed Gladys Knight on her cheek.

I'd be more impressed if you kissed her on the Pips.

Hee! They're not for sale! They come with every redhead and are not sold seperately!

Will send you a PM in a moment. Keep in mind, though, the figure I send is not even half of what the grand total will be for the first auction! I'd post it here, but I would like to see a few more payments come in before I release anything official. :D

Well maybe once that check from Oweme comes in...;)

Heh! So, in other words, just this side of never? ;)

~Bev

[KevinTBrown]

Hee! They're not for sale! They come with every redhead and are not sold seperately!

Immoral publisher is vague. Rick Olney the deadbeat is more exact.

So what did Dickie do today? Burn down a home full of senior citizens? Throw a weighted bag full of puppies in a lake?

[DaveRothe]

*crickets chirping*

[KevinTBrown]

Hey now! I'm not up for auction!

Besides, wouldn't your wife object? :p

~Bev

Not as much as you think..... ;)

[Inkpot1965]

Did you break it again, DAve?

[amboy00]

Well, he did refer to me as a whore/slut and steal my site's copyright protected content to which I reported him to MySpace for copyright infringement.

[DaveRothe]

Did you break it again, DAve?

Hey what does this Big Red Button do marked "CBR Breaker?" and then it happened!!! Damn thing's too close to the Enter key. I must've hit it by mistake.:)

I told that tech guy to take away Dave's Big Red Button... but do they listen? Nooooooooooo. Instead they leave it there and remove his "any" key. Go figure!

[Papergirl]

Not as much as you think..... ;)
In that case, I might be up for auction! ;)

[DaveRothe]

Was more like this.

[Papergirl]

*takes Dave's CBR BREAKER button away from him*

There. No more button. :p

~Bev

[TomStillwell]

Why is Olney's name not mentioned in this latest round?

Immoral publisher is vague. Rick Olney the deadbeat is more exact.

They can go to Unscrewed! to find that out. The auction isn't a press release and I'd rather not have it shut down just so I can get in a shot at Olney.

All things in moderation.

[JTPencils]

*takes Dave's CBR BREAKER button away from him*

There. No more button. :p

~Bev

Put Dave's button on the damn auction. I'll bid a quarter, and we'll stop this foolishness!!!

[DaveRothe]

*takes Dave's CBR BREAKER button away from him*

There. No more button. :p

~Bev

That was just a decoy. shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh;)

[Inkpot1965]

In that case, I might be up for auction! ;)

~Bev

Will you barter for art?

[JTPencils]

Will you barter for art?

Ewwwwww for a moment I thought you said "batter", I was gonna say "you're not into that food sorta thing are ya Reb?"

[Papergirl]

Art or cookies. Either one will work! :D

[KevinTBrown]

In that case, I might be up for auction! ;)

~Bev

[Inkpot1965]

Art or cookies. Either one will work! :D

[Papergirl]

Yep. That whole bit about baking did it.

There might be a need for a eulogy if you spend all of that refund money to buy me in an auction! :eek:

Cookies are extra too! I'm trying to work for charity here!:D

Hmmmm... Are the cookies an auction of their own, then?

Hey, does anyone else hear that? Sounds like a thundering hord..... *RUMMMMMBLE RUMMMMBLE* ....YEEAAAGH!!!

Oh, wait; he's talking, so that means he's fibbing again, huh? :rolleyes:

Well, we all already decided that no matter what he digs up, we're not going to let it divide us. When Olney divided the SPA, I'm sure there were nasty things said by some members about other members, and Rick just enjoyed every minute of it I'm sure. SO, he'll probably be posting emails from that era, attempting to hurt people, when all he's going to do is confirm the fact yet again that he's a small minded child who gets satisfaction in other people's misery.

I used to pity him, I don't anymore. I pity every person and organization he comes in contact with.

You lose, Rick. YOU LOSE!

Being as how I'm tired of being held back by "pros" like Kurt Busiek, I'm posting this formal cease-and-desist notice demanding he drop his libelous claim that his Kate Hepburn story (which barely involved eye contact) is superior to my Walter Matthau story. My story has a plot, character development, and a killer punch line.

If Busiek doesn't respond in an affirmative manner to this notice, I will put him on the short list. And you know what that means?

No, really, do you know what that means? Because I'd really like to know.

Looks like he still needs some time to make them up. Not to put down a classic TV character but it kind of reminds me of Maxwell Smart from Get Smart... "Missed him by that much.... would you believe THAT much?"

"I was reading an article that said that wearing a smelly, stained Ben Grimm shirt makes you super intelligent, just like Colleen Doran. Colleen Doran ALSO probably wears a shirt like that, even though all the evidence is to the contrary.

Thus, Colleen Doran and I are geniuses, except Colleen Doran. Also, I heard another thing that is a sign of genius is never paying anyone.

He sold 12 to the ghost of Jack Kirby.

Speaking of selling things... The first auction's totals are looking REAL good, so far! Just waiting on a few more payments before announcing an official total! So, if you've won something and haven't paid us yet, please do so as soon as possible! :D

That's great about the auction, Bev. I've been approached by a few more CAPTAIN CARROT fans who didn't get the winning bid to do more Zoo Crew head shots for 'em at a good price...which I'll also donate to the Olney's Orphans fund.

Hey Tom (or whomever)

Just a suggestion, but you might want to be a little more descriptive with your titles on ebay. Just saying this because I did not realize that McKeever's stuff was digests until I read the discription. Thought it was single issues.

I'll buy 20 copies of JLA vs. Avengers vs. Magic Fish. (Unless we're talking about a supersized hardcover- I can only afford, say, two or three copies of that.)

By the way, anyone who loves Kurt's work should check out a book he didn't do: Dr. Blink, Superhero Shrink by John Kovalic, Christopher Jones, and Melissa Kaercher. The first trade just came out, and it's a hell of a good time. The dedication went out to Busiek and Bob Newhart. Now how can you ignore that?

Hey, congrats on the auction tally so far.

I said I'd tell him what it is tomorrow (which he can then share here).

Which means I'll actually do it tomorrow.

(Sorry - did I TYPE that last bit, or just think it? Oh well...)

[Danny Donovan]

Okay, so another promise not brought to light then... No e-mail, even though we've all vowed that whatever was dredged up from the past won't come between us... So it's rather moot whether he came up with it or not.

Hey Tim! You know what would be a cute cartoon for the website? Carl Banks' Uncle Scrooge donating a sack of money to Unscrewed! and saying "some people give tightwads a bad name!"

It could be altered slightly so Disney doesn't get all up in your grill, but I don't think they have Carl's version locked down. They have their Ducktales version.... but I could be completely wrong. ;)

It is hidng on his messy desk...which means he is intelligent or a slob.

Oh, seeing pictures of him and seeing his writing...Definitely slob.

Intelligence does not burden him all that much.

[Coppervale Studio]

I just keep shaking my head... I saw that post on his blog you guys referred to, and it's just...just... CANDY-ASS.

If he has something that refutes ANYTHING here, he should just POST IT. Doing the "I have something" bit is just weak. Weak.

If he really likes the attention; really wants people to see him as the good guy; and really wants to see this thread EXPLODE, he should send someone a payment, without announcing it. They'd mention it, and everyone would go bonkers over something he did that he CAN'T be thrashed over. A GOOD thing. A RIGHT thing.

I'm pretty sure that Disney has Uncle Scrooge completely under lock and key. Even Barks had to have their permission to sell his paintings of Scrooge (which they gave him, to their credit).

Still, artists sell original artwork (sometimes comic pages, sometimes not) of copyrighted characters on eBay all the time. I don't know if it's strictly legal or not, but I've never heard of anyone having a legal issue over it.

"Hey, Stan Lee once told Jack Kirby the fantastic four should fight God, and he wrote The Galactus Saga, one of the most well loved storylines on earth! So if *I* tell my team to draw my crappy characters eventually a major story will fall out of it and I will be the next Stan Lee! Bwahahahahaha!"

A message from Matt Doc Martin:

"With the 20,000th post, I now declare that Rick Olney is an asshat of the highest caliber. How else do you describe a man who claims to be a Marine, yet offers NO documentation…but does post a picture of REAL soldiers and implies he was one of them.


Rick Olney owes too many people yet all he offers in return is excuses and lies. Why does he refuse to pay Ronee and Tim and others? Why does he accuse Scott Reed of fraud? Why does he threaten everyone here legally ad physically, yet not follow through with anything?

He is a raging asshat and a human cockroach.

Of course, I missed the 20,00oth post, but it changes nothing.

Rick Olney, may everyone have their justice and may you suffer the rest of your days. And may those days number but a few."
