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

[Angry Shoes]

So is it just the crazy freak out that's hilarious in this 5th part or was anything major revealed?

Nothing revealed, just a glimpse into how truly delusional and insane Rick is.

 

[Flexo]

Thanks! I was curious how far up to put this in my listen queue.

 

[Lord Xenu]

Wow, that was totally deranged. I am amazed. Why stay on the phone for 25 minutes?
It must've felt good for "Josiah" to finally just laugh at him after hours of keeping a straight face. Like busting a nut.

 

[AprilRains]

I doubt he acts that way with an actual person right in his face. He's a fat coward. But over the phone, he'll venture out from behind his lawyer's skirts to make a fuckin' threat.

 

[SixPennyWalnut]

He sounds like a gay 1960s camp Batman villain. Boy is he fat.

 

[Hey Fatrick FUCK YOU]

Well there wasn't any big reveal like a lot of us had hoped. And I don't think his case is going to be hurt by any of this. Just his pride. But it was funny hearing Patso sperg out in real life the way he does on Twitter. I used to think he was full of shit when he said he acted exactly the same IRL as he does online. Now I have no problem believing he acts like a complete fucking lunatic any time he gets into any sort of heated debate. That hang up at the end was pretty abrupt. I wonder if someone came out to check on him or if he just tuckered himself out?

Originally the plan was to coerce him into admitting that some of the evidence he submitted was fake by threatening to drop the story if he didn't fess up. We ghosted him after his latest drop of fake voicemails in hopes the hamster wheel in his head would start turning and he would worry that we know. But I think we ghosted him too long.

 

[Chan the Wizard]

He sounded like he was about to or was crying around the 17 minute mark. I can’t believe he stayed on arguing for nearly 30 minutes

 

[This is what happens when]

If this is how he reacts to a few prank phone calls I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall when his pregnant wife told him she wanted a divorce.
"Goodbye child" seems awfully fitting in that scenario too.

I also noticed that lol, I'm not sure if he was really drunk or if that's just the fact that he's about 30% body fat and loaded with estrogen messing with his hormones. Anyways I guess we wait for the 30th for the next big development when his case gets thrown out. I wonder how Pat will try to spin that as a win. For being a trump hater he really is a bird of a feather. Abject narcissist and can NEVER laugh at a joke at his own expense, can never admit he was wrong and never admit that he was beaten.

 

[JOE_CUMIA_FUCKS_KIDS]

16:30 That reaction pretty much confirms that it's true. He almost popped a vein in his forehead. This "man" is completely broken.

 

[Meat Target]

16:30 That reaction pretty much confirms that it's true

Confirms what? That he was like that with teachers as a kid?

I think hearing him cry, and then like anger animal growl a word at Josiah was fucking hilarious.

I’ll try and provide a summary of Apostlegate for those who are casual/new readers of the thread or don’t have time to listen to three hours of audio. It's a long saga but it hilariously comes to its peak with Pat believing that he is about to start GamerGate 2.0 with a series of articles on Vice News and getting a senior Vice reporter involved, then ends with a psychotic half-hour meltdown.

Who is Patrick S Tomlinson?
Pat is the quintessential internet tough guy, but what makes him a lolcow is his ability to seamlessly shift between bully and victim. Most of his nonsense occurs on twitter where he has threatened hundreds of people, including many women, with both rape and violence. Pat has been banned from twitter twice, and has paid a lawyer $5k to have it restored both times. Pat is unable to walk away from any online fight, has also signed away rights to his biological daughter, and lies about being a best-selling author – for more details check the OP of this thread.

Apostlegate

As you can imagine, someone with a personality like Pat has attracted many trolls who like to fuck with him. The most notorious came from the Opie and Anthony subreddit, which has been banned off the platform and can now be found at the OnAForums. At the start of this year, Pat filed a lawsuit against 60 Jon-Does who posted on KiwiFarms and OnAForums. Many saw this lawsuit just as a means for Pat to get people’s names and harass them. Pat is especially seeking the identity of Quasi, the guy who runs the OnAForums.

One of Pat’s most prolific trolls is an OnAForum member named SpaceEdge, who also goes by Thomas Apostle. SpaceEdge posed as an undercover forum mole and convinced Pat that he would help him unmask his worst trolls. SpaceEdge also somehow convinced Pat that he was a journalist from the Huffington Post (Josiah Munoz) that wanted to interview Pat about his 3-year-long battle with trolls online. Apostlegate is a series of videos that were released from this undercover trolling operation that seems to have taken place over the past nine months.

Two other people were involved in Apostlegate, Anna Merlan - a senior staff writer at Vice, and Seth Simons - a wannabe comedian and sex-pest.

I’ve only included the most important stuff from each video, I’ll link my more extensive summaries at the bottom. In all the videos except the one labelled special, Pat is being interviewed by “Huffpo reporter” Josiah Munoz (SpaceEdge).

Video One

• Pat repeatedly paints himself as the victim of trolling while leaving out his own threatening behavior, he also trashes the farms and says that we killed Byuu.
• Pat admits he is in for over $100k costs regarding his lawsuit and repeatedly bashes the judge deciding his case. Pat also believes that his trolls are being funded by an alt-right organization and hopes that the Biden Justice Department will start to help him at some point.
• Despite all his stresses with trolls and going over $100k deep into a dumb lawsuit, Pat states that he would not have done anything different over the last three years.

Video Two

• Pat believes he has the identities of his most prolific trolls from the forum mole.
• He bashes the judge deciding his case again and states emphatically that if he loses the lawsuit, he will not pay Quasi any money, even if he is ordered to by a judge, stating “That is what the appeals process is for.”
• Pat reveals that his lawsuit is being paid for by the Science Fiction & Writers of America (SFWA) legal fund.

Video Three

• Pat says he has confirmation that his trolls are being funded by the alt-right (a comedy club owner and Rockstar games). He adds that he now has Quasi’s identity and says his lawsuit is now defunct, despite this he plans to persist with it.
• Pat alleges in his lawsuit that one of his trolls entered his property and vandalized it, the reporter asks Pat for the video and pictures of the vandalism.
• At this point, Pat believes he is on the cusp of starting GamerGate 2.0 where he will be the new Zoe Quinn and can write books about it and become famous.

Special Video - With Vice senior staff writer Anna Merlan and the OnAForum mole (SpaceEdge). Vice is apparently ready to go with Pat’s ‘GamerGate 2.0’, articles are being written. Seth Simons has already authored an article for The New Republic apparently outing the people who are funding the alt-right trolling operation.

Between videos SpaceEdge also released a medium post containing the images of the vandalism that Pat talked about in his lawsuit as well as a video. There has been much debate about whether the vandal in the video is Pat, they are similar in appearance, and the vandal’s handwriting seems to match Pat’s as well. I posted them here

Video Four

• The “Huffpo reporter” notes that Pat’s security video doesn’t actually show any vandalism and asks for the police incident reports. Pat agrees to send them over.
• Pat hopes that his GamerGate 2.0 will compel politicians to make new legislation about trolling and stalking over the internet. Pat says he plans to release books and write scripts for Hollywood to make movies about it.

Video Five

• The ruse is revealed and Pat loses his shit. He channels Norman Bates and has a psychotic breakdown, using the word child close to one hundred times in an epic half-hour meltdown.

Medium Post with fake Vandalism Pics and Vid
Part 4
No summary for Part 5 because it's just an insane man losing his shit for half an hour.

@lemmiwinks has uploaded copies of everything SpaceEdge released here. I'd especially recommend listening to video five, Pat's meltdown is one for the ages.

"Goodbye child" seems awfully fitting in that scenario too.

I pleaded with her, begged for the life we’d built together, and for the life growing in her belly. But if she heard any of it, she didn’t care. She told me that she had never loved me, had never been attracted to me, didn’t respect me, and didn’t trust me. It was a lie, of course. A lie she told to me, but more importantly to herself. A lie she continues to tell herself to this day.

 

[James done did it]

Confirms what? That he was like that with teachers as a kid?

Yes, and his mommy probably protected him from consequences of his petulant outbursts which is why he still engages in them as an adult and why he's still a know nothing know it all. He doesn't need to study anything in any sort of depth because he's a genius as is. He can read the wiki article and is an expert. There are so many tools like Pat out there who ran with the "smart but lazy" lie as a way to protect their coping mechanism for never really making it in life and having a wide but shallow pool of knowledge to draw on rather than any actually valuable or unique insights.

His inability to cope with reality or to understand law even when given a pertinent example is pretty telling of this sort of issue. When he insists misrepresenting yourself is illegal and the protagonist brings up Sacha Baron Cohen he continues to go into freakout mode and gets even angrier. He can't even try to argue as to how this and that situation differ really, he's on the level of sticking his fingers in his ears and shouting NANANNANA. Because being wrong even one time would dispel what he considers the core of his being.

 

[Melissa Sanchez]

Lotsa great lines, but when he tried to say "tangential" when he was flustered and it came out "tangenelli" it's hard to put my joy into words.

You've never lived until you've had a bowl of tanginelli with alfredo sauce.

 

[Robert w'E'd Leef]

You've never lived until you've had a bowl of tanginelli with alfredo sauce.

when you're here, you're family, child

 

[AprilRains]

You've never lived until you've had a bowl of tanginelli with alfredo sauce.

yeah, I bet fatrick loves him some Alfredo sauce

Spoiler

because Alfredo is his GAY LOVER

 

[Kaede Did Nothing Wrong]

hearing him say the "baby child shh" thing out loud and the way his voice changes... maybe a parent scolded him that way growing up? it's too fucking weird for a grown man to do. it sounds completely insane. it's def not how a tough guy confronts an adversary.

 

[MilkThePig]

"Goodbye child" seems awfully fitting in that scenario too.

The guy who stole her from him made an appearance on onaforums briefly. He was confirmed by one of the members there to be legit. Among other things he said Patrick threatened to kill them both when she first left him. Of course he didn't; just left town and abandoned his daughter for life instead.
