It doesn't appear to be in Mountain View, California and I don't know Neer's current location. I did find a 1993 family court case involving him as a minor in a case involving Robert Piche, who I assume is his dad.

Apparently, this dude is named Scott Malcomson and was formerly a Burned Fur, a group of spergy furs who were obsessed with purging porn from the fandom and trying to make it less degenerate, if that could possibly work. WikiFur article.

Scott Alan Malcomson, also known as Roy Calbeck, and Roy Kerensky in Second Life, is a furry artist, MilFur, former Burned Fur, and a perennial candidate for governor of Arizona under the Reform Party ticket, who lives in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

I'm not sure exactly where it's filed but it doesn't seem to be in Santa Clara or San Mateo counties. I don't know if it actually is filed, really. There's also nothing in federal court naming IMVU or Sean Piche directly.

I assume he'll go into more detail later. There's nothing useful on the Twitter thread yet either. Perhaps anyone who knows this guy should just ask him where he filed it, I mean, not that anyone here would. . .

It's too complicated and too completely run by 80 year olds and shit. Also the states couldn't be forced to participate. The federal system is at least reasonably unified, considering its complexity.

If this was literally filed and this thing was sent today, it might just not be indexed yet. If we can't figure it out by Monday I'll trawl the likely courts again.

So far, I've checked San Mateo, Los Angeles and Santa Clara Counties in California. And Maricopa County in Arizona. The one that has me stumped is he could have sued Piche directly, but that guy lives in something called Manassas Park, VA which isn't even in a county. It's an independent city. I think Prince William Circuit Court serves it.

Anyway I don't even know if that address is current. I'll give it a shot later, though who wants to can try. It might post after midnight. Some of these are courts are slow.

He mentions a case he previously filed against Topps over some copyright issue.

He didn't prevail in court. He said he got what he wanted but I have no frame of reference to know what he wanted and whether that claim is accurate.

A lot of the old-school furries was hardcore right-wing gun nuts and milspergs, for some reason I haven't found out yet. The proto-bronies with a hard-on for horses tended to be a specific sorts of weird, also.

Since Malcomson lives in Phoenix, there is probably some connection to Jim Groat and the Tucson Mafia. (Why don't you take a seat over there...)

Probably has something to do with that old Albedo comic that is said to have spawned the fandom. A military space opera. Heard the guy who made it worked as a military illustrator.

Steve Gallacci. It was published by Fantagraphics. It was actually very professionally drawn, probably for that reason. They also published a compilation called Critters with art by various creators, including mainstream stuff like Freddy Milton's Gnuff. Milton was more or less a mainstream Danish artist who had also worked on Disney properties like Donald Duck, in a largely Barks-influenced style. I believe they even let him draw the Mouse.

This was a time where the creepy fandom barely existed, before the first insanely creepy spergs like Dennis Falk became publicly known.

I don't know what happened to Gallacci, but this guy has apparently become what he is now.

Also, if you check the docket for that Malcomson v. Topps case, it goes all the way to the 9th Circuit, where he files a petition for an en banc rehearing and then a cert petition with the Supreme Court. It was denied, but that shows definite industry. If this guy says he's going to sue, I'd believe him. Whoever he's sued other than IMVU and Sean Piche could be tied up in litigation with him for years. He is not just going to go away without being satisfied.

The "creepy" fandom is said to be largely the creation of Mike Hirtes' nemesis Mark Merlino. His orginal idea was to create a more "gay-friendly" attitude within the fandom, but then went on to advertise furry cons in various fetish and other "alternative" groups. That was early-to-mid 1980's stuff.

Gamergate and ponies?
How has this individual avoided the farms this long?

But anyway, I honestly hope he goes far with this lolsuit. Cows attacking cows can only result in great things.

It's all bizarre. He claims all he wanted was to be recognized as an official contributor to Battletech canon. The original case said he failed to demonstrate anything that could make him considered such. But in the 9th Circuit's writing, it said: "The appeals court said that Scott Malcomson had failed to present sufficient factual evidence at trial to demonstrate that his relatively minor contributions to the Battletech mythology qualified him as a joint owner of the gaming franchise."

He's using those words in every forum he posts on to say "See? The court said I'm a contributor, therefore everything I wrote for them that was published (on a fansite not officially run by any of the companies) is now officially Mechwarrior canon!"

Malcolmson went on several forums to post his opinions on the cases. Seems anyone remotely talking about Mechwarrior, he would make an appearance, copy + pasting his side of the story.

The first message appearing on forums.
Post 9th Circuit.

It looked like there was an edit war on the Sarna.net Battletech wiki, so someone decided rather than just have the back-and-forth insertion and deletion of Malcomson's contribution, they just created a page on the lawsuit itself, from Malcomson's perspective.

Oh wow. I saw the dude's name and I thought Scott Malkinson from South Park. Then seeing what he actually looks like...

Curl up hair, make him larger, and ta-fucking-daa.

So now I have to wonder if Malcomson has diabetes too.

There's a surprising number of furries in the military, especially in the early days, and they've spread a love of guns and freedom to others. For the most part they're pretty decent individuals with strong values, families, and backbones... although I wish they wouldn't refer to their children as "cubs."
However the modern generation of furs tends to include more Social Justice Warriors, so you also end up with a fandom that's a little bit too inclusive and tolerant.

To be honest the whole thing about furfags is just taking some dude with interests and sprinkling some autism on top.

It's not like "Oh most furries are this" it's more like the furfags who hide it well have actual interests beyond poodle poodling.

In yesterdays IRC log he mentions IMVU having issues with his address, and there's pictures from his case as well.

[21:28:54] <afb> 9[t] <Roy> The above is the full Cease & Desist (which Deo characterized as "Sovereign Citizen shit"), with Dragoneer's personal rejection under the IMVU email domain. The final image is the ban.
[21:30:02] <afb> 9[t] <Roy> That, by the by, is also the totality of Exhibit A for the case. It goes through D.
[21:30:10] <afb> 9[t] <Roy> Because I really wanted to give Dragoneer the D.
[21:30:16] <derram> hehe
[21:30:18] <afb> 6[t] <PolUnpurrect> are you for real?
[21:30:24] <afb> 9[t] <Roy> It's a filed case son.
[21:30:36] <afb> 9[t] <Roy> That is a case number up top.
[21:30:42] <afb> 6[t] <PolUnpurrect> wtf: https://adery.net
[21:30:51] <afb> 9[t] <Roy> What. You thought I was kidding this whole time?
[21:30:53] <afb> 9[t] <Aleissa> I ain't stopping ya.
[21:31:27] <afb> 6[t] <PolUnpurrect> I hoped you were: https://adery.net
[21:31:49] <afb> 9[t] <Roy> Sorry to disappoint, but I'm one of those weird honorable and honest dudes
[21:31:53] <derram> I didn't, this type of character assassination has been going on for entirely too long
[21:32:17] <derram> freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences, after all -w-
[21:32:28] <afb> 9[t] <Roy> There would be absolutely no positive effect in threatening a lawsuit for no purpose. That's what a sperg does, and it's laughable.
[21:32:47] <afb> 9[t] <Roy> Of course, I fully EXPECTED to be treated as a sperg and laughed at.
[21:33:09] <afb> 9[t] <Roy> Which I used to milk extra data and evidence from the people who thought it was all a weird stupid bluff.
[21:33:50] <afb> 10[t] <Kalan115> milk
[21:33:53] <afb> 9[t] <Roy> And now... cards on table time.
[21:34:33] <afb> 9[t] <Roy> what else ya gonna do with lolcows? -:3 (re @Kalan115)
