Patrick Sean Tomlinson / @stealthygeek / "Torque Wheeler" / @RealAutomanic / Kempesh / Padawan v2.5 - "Conservative" sci-fi author with TDS, armed "drunk with anger management issues" and terminated parental rights, actual tough guy, obese, paid Quasi, paid thousands to be repeatedly unbanned from Twitter

[Apteryx Owenii]

Fat Rick has no response to this other than to stick his fingers in his ear and go 'la la la I can't hear you child'

It's impressive how people can manage to try and deflect the clear evidence of their own idiocy. Of course, someone smarter would have known this was a setup or to bring their lawyer in on it. Someone dumb but with less of an ego would have forgone the whole thing because you never know. But not Rick.

- FBI apparently told Pat that they'd investigate his stalkers if they stole over $250k, or if someone gets killed.

In other words, the FBI will investigate if someone commits an actual crime.

This guy and Brianna Wu should get together and incorporate an internet detective agency to make up for all this unfulfilled investigate work that needs doing.

So it's obvious at this point that he's going to lose his case against Quasi, but will his comments here, including his position that he will refuse to respect court orders in the event of a loss (Gee who does that sound like? Trump?) and the admission that he is seeking to financially destroy his opponents via the legal system (more Trump?) move the needle going forward? Will this material appear in this case or will it have to wait until the appeals? I have a hard time believing that this stuff, especially if worse comes out in the next three installments won't torpedo his chances at winning on appeal.

The interview audio would be tricky to use as evidence since Rick/his lawyers can just say he didn't really mean what he said, that it was illegally obtained, that it's fake, etc. It might be used as evidence for discovery on Rick's emails or communications, like if he's being bankrolled by the SFWA, the fat fuck probably said the same shit to them privately. All of that's expensive though for both parties so I think it'll only happen if Quasi/his lawyers really want this fat fuck to pay for his abuse of the legal system.

Luckily for reality nobody gives even a tiny flying, fluttering, or anything fuck about what the fat fucking whiner claims. He got absolutely raped and there's literally nothing he can do about it.

 

[SixPennyWalnut]

I almost feel bad for the guy with these calls, however from everything I’ve seen and the more I deep dive - the more apparent it becomes he’s a genuinely bad person.

Condescending, rude - unwarranted arrogance. Never wrong, never to be questioned.

Just the lolcow prototype really.

 

[Boston Brand]

This is incredible. Like I have to tip my hat to the folks who pulled this off. They may be fake reporters, but they mastered a skill few in the trade ever do: knowing instead of trying to gut your subject, to hand them a knife and lwt them gut themselves.

I also have to point out that if Patty Boy fell for this, he's definitely never actually been interviewed by a real reporter. Some big time author he must be.

Does he finally confirm SFWA has been bankrolling his lawsuit? Sure would be a shame if someone let them know Fat Pat basically just poured gasoline on the pile of money they burned for him.

 

[TerminalTryHard]

I'm going to say the SFWA isn't bank rolling him, since I don't think Rick would be able to keep that quiet. He would need everyone to know about his powerful friends backing him.

Luckily we get to find out in the next few weeks.

IMPORTANT UPDATE​

Part 1 of Apostlegate has just dropped. What is Apostlegate, you ask? Well, for the past 9 months, a user on the forums SpaceEdge has been communicating with Patrick and some of the other characters pretending to be a mole inside of the forums, feeding him "secret" (fake) information. This includes the fake doxxes of several forums members, and it is also how Patrick center to trust Josiah Munoz enough to do 5 interviews with him.

So, everything Fat claims to know about the identities of OnA users is wrong thanks to this guy?

This is some next-level ownage.

 

[Hey Fatrick FUCK YOU]

Yes. Remember those cryptic "Canyon facts" he was posting a couple weeks ago? Won't be seeing those no more

this isn't trolling. it is art.

I’ll admit that the Cris stuff all seems too good to be true, and I can’t help but entertain the notion that it’s an elaborate hoax to get me to discredit myself.

moral of this story: the easiest way to trick somebody is to tell them what they want to hear.

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

This is why Canada is seen as a better place for comedians. Less bullshit and the country treats them better. The Montreal Comedy Festival is one of the funniest weeks you'll have even if your hurting on money.

 

[Lady Crow]

I don't think the SFWA or any other foundation/group is bankrolling him. Maybe a donation but not even close to full bankroll. Can you imagine how livid they'd be if they spent 100k+ for some asshole who goes against his lawyers' advice by not shutting the fuck up? Like, thanks for the money now watch me jeopardize your investment because my ego is out of control. That's like gifting your nephew with money for tuition then watching him blow it on shitty beer and a tinder catfish.

Incredible, this fat maroon swallowed Mr. Apostle's bait and actually convinced himself he's a hero in one of his spaceship books, fighting fictional caricatures one wisecrack at a time
I can't imagine how unbearable it must've been to be near him past few months, the nutty shit Resto had to read about Boykins' elite niggerstomping crew as Pat slips further into schizophrenia.

[SixPennyWalnut]

SpaceEdge posted before these came out, but after he made them - that he knew “100%” the SFWA was funding it.

I’m going to take his word for it.

I looked on their site and they say legal fund stuff is a loan, not a donation. They want a return. Jesus Christ Pat.

This slogan is very poorly worded and sounds like Rick can't stop himself from buttfucking fascists.

'Smash the fash,' indeed.

Maybe once his wife finally leaves him.

She won’t have to leave him, it’s her house. She’ll just put his box of XXXL clothing and unsold shitty children’s books on the street.

wow then that is shocking cronyism to throw so much at such a lolsuit. here's the guidelines for any lawfags in the thread more qualified to comment.

SFWA Legal Fund Guidelines​

The SFWA legal fund does not seek to promote or prolong litigation, but rather seeks to assure that the outcome of cases involving major principles or practices is fair and favorable to writers. The fund is not intended to be used in cases where there are many decisions which support the writers’ position, but the fund may be used to help individual members who do not have the wherewithal to afford to take action even where the law is clearly on their side.

1. The legal fund may be used for the following purposes:
   1. To fund loans to members who have a publishing-related dispute.
   2. To fund legal action in the name of SFWA which will benefit a group of members or the organization as a whole.
   3. To fund or contribute to the funding of court actions brought by others in issues which are of importance to SFWA’s members and the business of writing and which may help to raise SFWA’s profile as a pro-active writers’ organization.
   4. To contribute to lobbying efforts which will improve the position of writers and other members of the creative community.
2. Only active general members in good standing with SFWA are eligible to request assistance from the legal fund.
3. Funding for outside activities such as amicus briefs and lobbying should be limited to 10% of the existing fund in any given year, unless an exception is voted by the Board of Directors. The decision to fund any of these activities will be made by a vote of the Board after an evaluation of the merits of the action has been made by SFWA’s attorney and presented to the board with a recommendation for proceeding. The decision to fund such activities will be based on:
   1. The nature of the grievance;
   2. The precedent setting possibility of the action;
   3. The potential benefit to SFWA’s members or the potential damage to SFWA’s members should an action go unchallenged;
   4. The potential short and long-term effects of involvement; and/or
   5. The financial state of the legal fund.
4. The decision to use the legal fund to provide a loan to an individual member will be made with regard to the following:
   1. The understanding that the fund may not be used by one active general member to sue or defend a suit filed by another active general member.
   2. Unless time is of the essence to avoid a statute of limitations problem, verification that the member has attempted to settle the dispute without success and at least sixty (60) days have passed since the filing of a grievance with the Grievance Committee of SFWA and the dispute remains unresolved to the satisfaction of party involved.
   3. The contents of formal written request for the aid, including an outline of the claim, a proposed course of action to resolve the matter, what kind of aid is requested, and a budget for possible litigation.
   4. An agreement to provide SFWA with copies of all paperwork related to the dispute, including copies of all pleadings and settlement correspondence, and the granting of a waiver of the attorney-client confidentiality privilege so that SFWA’s attorney can consult with the outside attorney and provide an accurate evaluation of the dispute to the board.
   5. An agreement that SFWA will be permitted to assist in the choice of an attorney if the member has not previously hired one and that SFWA may make a final attempt at settling the matter before litigation proceeds.
   6. The understanding that the Board of Directors is the final arbiter of whether a loan will be granted.
5. In the event that SFWA agrees to fund a loan, the member will sign a contract which outlines specific procedures which will be followed in pursuing the dispute gives SFWA a lien on any recovery in the action (by settlement or court order)—and a schedule of payments in the event the member loses the action—for repayment to the legal fund of the loan plus interest.
6. Loans to active members in good standing will be limited to a maximum aggregate amount of 20% of the fund, which may only be used to pay for legal fees and costs (i.e., a member may not use the loan to pay damages in a case which s/he loses).
7. The decision to use the legal fund to support legal action in the name of SFWA or for a class action or representative action for the benefit of SFWA’s members is solely at the discretion of the Board of Directors by a majority vote taken after consulting SFWA’s attorney and any other individual or committee which the Board of Directs feels is prudent to consult. The amount to be expended in any single action will be limited to 30% percent of the fund in given year.

I'd be scandalized if I was paying dues for this crap.

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

Only thing that I think they'd help out with is this part
"To fund legal action in the name of SFWA which will benefit a group of members or the organization as a whole."
Since these people hate mean words over the internet about how bad their books are or how they help out pedophiles.

 

[ShinyStar]

If Fat spun this as a crusade to protect authors from review brigading, a case that would set precedent and allow other authors in the future to recoup their losses or dissuade trolls by showing that there were real world consequences, then I could see the SFWA falling for that. If they were not complete dunces, they would have had reservations, and the recordings being released should have them all panicking and on the phone with their lawyers to see if there's anything they can do to stop the bleeding.

It would be so on point with Fat's MO to go into a case to set precedent that damn dirty trolls will have to pay for fake reviews and instead set the precedent that trolls are untouchable.
