In short Pat’s battle with the pests started with his tweet that he didn’t find Norm Macdonald funny.
When he found out he was being mocked on their subreddit he tried to defeat them.
Fat thinks he is a crusader for the great and the good, but really he is just a fat prick with a weird ego.
I respectfully disagree on all of this
I have been low-key shadowing fat since around 2015/2016 when his twitter oinkings first came to my attention, and a lot of the tweets involved are likely either gone or buried in a brobdingnagian pile of his keyboard diarrhea so take this as anecdotal if you wish, but what I remember is how pathologically and mindlessly autistically obsessed with gamergate and its various spinoffs he was, and how desperately he wanted to be noticed for flailing against it, even though at this point it had stopped being even pretend-relevant for a long while.
The only thing that could rival this was his smugfuck fixation on making his tweets "go viral" and how much imaginary fame he could mine from having his tweets enter the 2016-2017 era drumpf freakouts, which he openly bragged about as proving how "good at twitter" he was.
Throughout all of this he was actively and intentionally trying to pick as many fights with as many people as possible to try and provoke some kind of backlash he could capitalise using whatever embers of the "INTERNET TERRORIST HARASSMENT" witch hunts of 2014 to get some two bit brianna wu level fame/talk circuit grift going, and yet despite all his oinking and squealing he got jack shit for the best part of ten years.....right up until he managed to get noticed by the likes of us and ONA.
However, because he is, was, and ever will be, astonishingly fucking retarded, he managed to utterly bungle this shit time after time in ever more damaging and humiliating ways. From that whole glorious fake huffpost article debacle which he stakes all his "reputation" and hopes for entry to the grift circuit on, to his attempt to use the legal system to get the e-fame he wanted by publicly destroying the "cyberterrorists" on which he staked unspecified amounts of the SFWA shekel bucket on, he has managed to make his undeservedly comfy life infinitely more miserable and with an ever bleaker future ahead of him
Even now, with him managing to turn himself into a SWATing magnet by acting like such a hilarious fucking fat faggot while squealing at the cops in a recording (repeatedly) in a way that finally has gotten him some of the media attention he wanted, the world and even globalhomo cancer media has moved on to far more topical shit with a far higher chance of serving as click/watchbait, resulting in his only success being as one of a thousand disposable fluff pieces occasionally cycled through a handful of outlets to fill space, all while his court date(s) loom and his celebrity writer activist status resolutely fails to materialise
