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

[Papergirl]

Ok...I am going to bed.

But before I do, I am going to say something.

Mr. Olney:

This is with NO malice, sarcasm, or ill will.

Stop. Please.

If you want to apologize to anyone, just do it. Stop the posting now and write your emails.

Contact Tim and let him know that you will make things right, and just how you will do it.
Do the same with Ronee.

Think of your wife and kids. Think of your dream to be in comics.

You have a chance to drop the act and actually step up. If you have an attorney, great. I am sure he/she would advise you that paying Tim is fine. He needs the money.

I mean all this. I really do.

~Matt

And this is all anyone REALLY wants here. Make things right. Pay those who did the work for you. YOU can end this by doing that one simple thing, Rick.

~Bev

Yet here you are, sir, posting away when you COULD be making your various errors right. Good luck, Rick Olney, you'll need it.

[Rick Olney]

QUOTED and stop with the ridiculous smileys

Insults get smilies.

[kmeyers]

You know little of attornies and cases of this type, from a post like that.

Well, it's quite obvious I know more about legal dealings than you do.

But I don't fuck people over and not pay for their work.

[JeffreyWKramer]

I find it hilarious that you're claiming that somehow you're the victim of a conspiracy by Gail to besmirch your pristine reputation.

You're completely ignoring the fact that others have called you on stuff before this thread existed. You're also completely ignoring the fact that your rants and bizarre behavior and bullshit have apparently gotten you booted off boards in the past.

Me, I'd figured out you were a douchebag years ago, long before this thread existed, long before I'd heard anything about your stunts at other venues, and without having known a thing about your business dealings or that you were involved in any manner with comics. I made that conclusion simply on the basis of things you posted on various threads having little or nothing to do with comics or the comics industry.

I've tried ... for the most part ... to be at least semi-civil to you, directly.

I'm sorry. I really am. I don't know what happened; if your mother dropped you on your head, or you were fed radioactive baby food, or what. Whatever it is, I'm sorry.

Do you *honestly* believe that Gail's beef with you is over $100?! Are you that completely divorced from reality? I mean, I figured you were living in a little pocket universe of your own devising. But man ...

Wow.

Seriously ... you are a sad, sad little man.

Umm... I donno. All I've heard from "Gail" is the $100 dollars repeated over again. Certtainly, she could've brought a civil complaint if more money was involved. And, as the matter took place in 2003 ... I'm not sure why she waited so long to make a matter of fact (or suposid fact) out of it. Far as your name calling. Feh. I've been called worse. :rolleyes:

Quoted!

~Bev

:D

[Wil Radcliffe]

Rick, one more time... where do you stand on releasing Blake Petit from his contract for Evertime?

[TomWaltz]

Huh.

I wanna see it. Next printing, I guess.

Gail

Gail,

I'll happily get you a copy. Just give me the word.

:)

He's also claimed twice that he paid my husband's airfare, a flat-out lie he's too stupid to RECANT. *

* Note that I actually know what the word 'RECANT' means.

Gail

Shore yer du wif all yer sitty smarts an book lurnin an stuff.

...Dang yer !

You really don't understand, do you?

I won't speak for Gail Simone, since she can obviously handle herself.

But this whole damned thing is going on because you screwed DOZENS of people! If this were over one person's $100, believe me, you wouldn't be in a 400+ page, 6000+ post thread on CBR; you wouldn't be being torn apart on practically every blog and comics site on the entire WWW.

You TOTALLY SCREWED DOZENS of people, and you did it in a malicious way. You have abused people here, and elsewhere. Your misogyny and homophobia have been clear as the light of day. And still, you refuse to pay those people whom you owe.

Maybe that IS what is going on that head of yours: maybe you are convinced that all of this, everything, your whole little empire crumbling down around you is because of Gail Simone wanting $100 from you. Maybe that's why you have turned into such a little bitter creep.

Just freakin' admit you have been wrong this whole time. Admit you screwed these good people over. Admit that you need to make it up to them. And apologize to everyone. BUT PAY THE PEOPLE YOU OWE!

Like I said, it isn't complicated. It may be hard, but it isn't complicated.

Stand up like a man, and do what's right. It's that simple.

Insults get smilies.

Then I hope you smile my way.

because noone feels that way about you and your services.

[Rick Olney]

But I don't fuck people over and not pay for their work.

Nor do I.

Everyone that worked on TOTS #1 will get paid. My pledge, just like Val Staples. No matter how long it takes! No matter what I have to do to accomplish it!

[Sarah Beach]

"Gail" doesn't have a husband. Legally.

I'm still pages and pages behind, but seeing this piece of crap evasion yet one more time is very, very annoying.

Therefore, for Mr. Nit-Picker answer this question: In 2003, the professional writer who is published as and known as Gail Simone attended your convention; her legal spouse accompanied her; did you promise to pay for the airfare for the spouse of that specific writer, and did you actually pay for that airfare?

How's that peanut? Clear and legal specific enough for you?

[Larry Dixon]

Stacy, you are so right. And you may be called to provide a deposition to what you saw and watched unfold here. Just so you know.

Two-fer! Heystacy can be the court artist too!

[Wil Radcliffe]

Nor do I.

I wanna quote this one for myself.
