Keep in mind this one is after TWO YEARS of his "check's in the mail" bullshit.

Gail,
I'm not a bad guy in this. I'm just slow at clearing the matter. There
IS a difference. I meant "reasonably unreasonable" as a compliment to
you. Are you so filled with bile over it that you can't see that?

Sincerely,

I'm not surprised. Despite his women in comics panel at the Shitty Mini Con, he's resorted to seriously woman-hating bashing many times, not just against me, either.

I mean, does he LOOK like women have been kind to him?

Gail

Well, to be fair, not a lot of women have been with me either. :-P

My personal opinion is that TLE isn't a valid publishing firm, but rather an instrument to commit fraud upon numerous individuals who want to work in comics.

Unlike others on this thread, I don't think (or care) that you're a psychopath or a jerk (although I'm pretty convinced you're a misogynist, and I'm almost positive you were never a Marine).

I do think you're a criminal. I think this matter is going to end up not in civil court, but in criminal court. I think you've created the comic book equivalent of Enron, Rick.

Well guess what?

I don't have to account or prove anything on any level to you, Wishlist. I don't give a hariry rat's ass what you think or don't think . You are insignificant to this matter. Just another troll.... looking for attention, stickin' your nose into matters not any of your business. :rolleyes:

That "iKill" image is definitely threatening, Mark, and apparently meant for any and all of us by Rick Olney. It certainly makes the notion of upcoming convention appearances kinda iffy if Olney is out hunting "iWabbits", don't it?

Methinks it's time to call the Game Warden.

Aloha,

Scott!

yeah, that was a pretty clear threat to members of this board, methinks.

[Matt Algren]

Hey, Ronee, be sure to let us know when his e-mails show up. And who his lawyer is, and if it's the same girl who used to help out Encyclopedia Brown.

Even Sally Kimball has standards, Mark.

He could get Bugs Meany, maybe. In which case, "Rick" couldn't have done it. He was tending his flock of Dodo birds the whole time.

[Gail Simone]

Well, to be fair, not a lot of women have been with me either. :-P

No, probably not, but to be fair, I bet a lot of them (SINGLE women, you filthy lot!) WOULD be!

Have you looked at yourself in a mirror? You're adorable!

you.

LOL!!! That's awesome. How is that a compliment?

[Mike Bullock]

On another note, anyone besides me who honestly, genuinely read the "iKill" picture as a threat, please pipe up.

I found it threatening.

[Gail Simone]

I got lots, lots more of these emails from Reeky Rick, some even less honest. And that's not counting the dozens some of his former friends have sent.

He uses the 'check's in the mail' thing a LOT.

On another note, anyone besides me who honestly, genuinely read the "iKill" picture as a threat, please pipe up.

Me.

And I have free, cheap legal counsel.

(Have I mentioned my sister also has a license to practice in New York? )

[orcafresh]

I certainly take it as such.

Oh, don't worry.... I have a feeling I know where you take it. Feh.

[Sarah Beach]

"Reasonably unreasonable" is a compliment?????

Oi.

But really. I don't think Gail's, or Mark's, or Kurt's sales numbers are at all likely to drop because of all this (more likely? they'll go up). I mean, unless RO is going to have folks in all the comic shops in America standing at the doors saying "Oh, don't buy any books from that person! They were mean to Rick Olney online!"

Gimme a break! If anything, but being the stand-up folks they are in this circus, more people are probably going "Hmmm. I haven't tried TitleX that Gail, or Mark, or Kurt is writing. But I like them and the way they think. I'll pick up a copy next week!"

Joke so obvious I can't believe no one has made yet:

Mr. Olney can call people trolls so often because he knows what being a troll is like, as he is, quite obviously, one himself.

And I'm not talking about the internet asshole, post obnoxiously to message boards, take delight in the misery and wasted time of others sense (though he obviously is one of those as well).

I'm talking the use fire against their regeneration ability, serves in the army of Sauron, turns to stone in the sunlight kind of troll.

It's sad, really... he almost DID get to eat those hobbits for dinner that night.
