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

[DocAbsurd]

Say's everybody's lil buddy! :rolleyes:

What was the point in that?

Feel better, slamming someone who actually works hard to see the best in everyone he encounters? Lance stood up for you many many times. He's given you the benefit of the doubt even when you threw that benefit straight in the dumpster. He knew you were involved with the ICC formation and kept it a secret when other creators swore they'd never work in any project you were involved in.

You constantly claim how you hate slander and libel, how you despise name-calling; just a few post earlier you jump on your soapbox and complain about how 'Obviously all this thread is has to do with bullying, pissin' and moaning'. Yet you've called Lance 'mealy-mouthed' on your blog, 'lil buddy' here, and taken potshots at almost everyone else. How much lower can you possibly sink? When do your own rules begin to apply to you?

You've also said my Daphne was 'out of her league' when dealing with you. Well, I'll give you that one. She's got integrity, honesty, intelligence, compassion. Yeah, she's way out of her league when dealing with you.

I've talked to you a lot over the past couple years, Rick, but I never realized just how petty you are. I never once realized the lateness of Tales of the Spooky was because of more payment woes. But here you are, still proudly announcing its impending publication as if it were something to be heralded. You hide behind nonsense legalities and pompous righteousness so that you always come out the injured party when the slightest shred of obligation should point the proper path of action clearer than the Lighthouse of Alexandria.

You can't avoid paying what you offered payment for. That's the bottom line, Rick. You've admitted you owe people money for services rendered. All you're doing now is delaying the inevitable, as if you're hoping we'll get so sick of asking we'll eventually give up.

I'm officially sick.

I ain't giving up.

I have tons of this stuff and I can easily prove every bit of it.

You're a liar, Rick. Your own words prove it.

Oh, and in case I haven't said, you're also a deadbeat.

Glad you got it, Gail.

I'm not done repaying you. In fact, I need the remaining balance on
your monies owed and I'm planning on reimbursing you for Scott's plane
fare too.

I DID enjoy having you both here, and if you'll consider it and allow
me... I'd like to bring you back next May to the bigger MMC being held
in Syracuse, New York. We'll have 12 times the comic book retail support
in the greater Syracuse area, and airfare and accomodations will be
provided up front. Additionally, guests on the upper echelon are getting
one hundred dollars upon check-in to cover their meal expenses. No
reimbursing this coming year. :)

It seems as though I should start out by apologizing to everyone for getting involved in this. If I have offended any one of you with the exception of Rick (onery) Olney, I am very sorry. But I know what Tim has been going through with this and I was furious at the time; and I just had to make a post here after I saw that he replied that I was out of my league, HAHA...how 4th grade of him to say it like that!! I was born quite out of your league Mr. Onery...

I know that with the exception of Tim that none of you know me, but I am a very fair person, who does not deal well with liars or users, especially when they are hurting someone I love and care about. Tim is a very good man, and I am extremely proud of his cartooning/writing and I encourage it with everything I am, and it really ticks me off that he works so hard on his work then gets treated like this.

I have read quite a few of your posts and (I don't want to start trying to name all of you because I would be afraid I would leave someone out), but I want to thank you all so much for wishing Doc the best and all the get well wishes you have sent him. It makes me very happy to see that he has such a great group of people as friends. I also enjoy the humor you all have. I sincerely hope we all can get past this problem although it looks as if it may take some time. I mean fighting off imaginary lawyers and idle threats and signing contracts out of thin air, what an imagination for a cartoonist to have!!

Makes me think that Mr.Onery ought to apply for a by-line in the Weekly World News paper, perhaps Batboy needs a new playmate or they can send him off to find Bigfoot, can't you just imagine the headlines? I for one will start the collection fund rolling with my check......(and ummm it's in the mail)

Of course, he never reimbursed my husband's airfare, more Olney bullshit.

But I didn't ask him to. What it shows is his desperate need to be liked, even if he has to lie to do it.

As I say, I have two years of this stuff. Maybe you can understand why I got sick of him and told him to keep the remainder.

Any creator who wants to deal with this for two years and still not be fully paid?

Be my guest.

Don't worry, we love ya for sticking up for Doc.

That's STAND-UP behavior and we're always happy to see it.

WELCOME!

In fact, I still have those Gus Beezer books
I
was going to send to you ... hoping for autographs ... but I forgot
about
it until just now. Yeah, my memory is for crap.

But...but...but....according to him you are a hack writer. Yet he wants your autograph.

I'M CONFUSED!

Welcome, Mum. :)

Hi Gail,
Yes, I do plan on clearing the matter shortly with you. It was for $100 dollars and as you can imagine I'm waist deep in trying to cover the various areas of this years MMC/Spooky ... It would be great if you could allow me to get that out of the way, but I'll understand (obviously) if you've lost your patience.

Rick,

Do you ever, EVER plan on paying the remaining amount
owed on my travel expenses?

I've avoided this because dealing with it simply
wasn't worth it, but I've waited for you to take care
of this, and you haven't.

So, simple answer, please. Do you plan to take care of
this, or not?

Best,

Gail

Of course, he never reimbursed my husband's airfare, more Olney bullshit.

It's just as well Scott found an air hostess' uniform that fitted and got the flight for free, huh ?

[Gail Simone]

Lots lots more, Rick.

You sure you want to keep your bullshit going? I've got some that you will find personally VERY HUMILIATING.


As I say again, Rick is the only liar/deadbeat I've come across in all the companies I've worked with and conventions I've dealt with.

He is the exception.

Oh, sheesh, yeah, I'm such a hack he BEGGED me to come to his next convention and personally begged me to come to his ridiculous vanity message boards.

Whatever. What a talentless weirdo deadbeat has to say about my writing, I have no care.

But he should quit lying and pay the people he owes.

Gail,
Understood. I'd like to blame my difficulties regarding my communication at times on somebody else ... but I'm smarter than that. I've tried at times being friendly and open on your CBR boards forum, but get the feeling like I'm intruding so I don't bother any longer. I saw that you joined the MMC forums, but you have not exactly had a spare minute yourself lately ... so anyway, I'll complete (finally!) our matter between us and hopefully you'll think nicer of me.

Did you ever get in touch with Mike?

My problem has always been communication, Rick. I'm
perfectly willing to work with you in this regard. If
you can get the thing in my hands by the end of
November (that should give you plent of time to pay
for your October con expenses, right?), then that is
acceptable to me.

Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Look who's here!

Everyone, Daphne; Daphne, everyone.

Her first post, and she's embarrassing the feck outta me. Any wonder why I love her?

OMG, Ronee! That's insane! How the hell can he dictate who you have on your friends lists? That's not an employer, that's a dictator. (Can we call him 'Mr Tator'?)

And Gail, I rode with Dennis. I can attest his car did not smell in any fashion. I've also been told about Rick's faulty memory more than once.

This is like watching the Pepsi spill on the console at Chernobyl.

That's a lotta shit there, Mr. Olney.

I can't wait for your response.
