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

[TomStillwell]

Gail, your page is still up.

There's no way Olney could get your site deleted unless you were like selling lemur porn or something.

[Gail Simone]

Yeah, false alarm, my page is back up. Very weird.

Gail

[DocAbsurd]

Oh, thanks for the kind words, Gail. I've tried out my column on my 360 page once, and I think I'm gonna keep it going there until I can find a regular spot for it.




Doc 'Articulated' Absurd

[Gail Simone]

Have you talked to Jonah about it, Doc?

Gail

[Gail Simone]

I should add that Jonah, unlike some people we could name, is incredibly honest and full of integrity. If he promises something, he always delivers.

I dunno where Im going to put mine. After ComiXtreme and PopCultureShock.. besides... as Rich likes to point out. I'm controversial at best. lol

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Just to recount, Rick canceled a show last year because of -- wait for it -- a heart attack. This year's show was canceled because of 3 deaths in his family, which was also why he skipped out on the payments.




Doc 'Ripley' Absurd

Ha ha....he's pretty much a comics version of John Collins then. Collins got such a bad name over it , he never tried creating another wrestling company. Word had spread so fast it ruined him.

You always have a home where you're called a hero. rEvolution.

[JeffreyWKramer]

Olney has always been a pompus, arrogant ass, who was deeply in love with himself and his superior "ethics".

I don't know a thing about his business ethics, other than what I'm reading in this thread and related links, but on his CBR posts he's always presented as an ignorant and pompous ass, and he's defended some pretty indefensible stuff for a guy of supposedly high ethical caliber.

Welcome, Michael!

I'm a huge fan of your work, and your defense of the people stiffed by Olney is much, much appreciated!

That is baffling to me. Most everyone I've met in the industry has been of high ethical caliber, honestly, and yet, it's the guy who DOESN'T have a good history of keeping his word that crows about it all the time.

People like controversy!

And you never know where a column will take you, as is indicated by the name of this forum and the career it built for me so far.

Isn't that the way though? people that have to tell you that they are honest,good or what have you; generally aren't what they say they are.

[the4thpip]

Does anybody have a link to some Lemur porn yet?

And wow, Mike Netzer only a couple of weeks after Marty Pasko showing up! It's like a Kobra reunion! :D

Its pretty much the self praise some use. The way they try and make themselves look awesome. But underneath they are assholes and worse than what they appear. I'm always wary of people who crow about their accomplishments and all.
