- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergencies (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

Leslie Varney contacts PenguiCon; Pat suing?

This can't be real.
Pat is a fat idiot, I don’t doubt it’s truth.
Surely this can't be true. Surely SFWA wouldn't be this stupid. There is nothing to gain by funding anything for Patrick, let alone paying to sue Leslie. He could spin his other issues as something that effects SFWA when goodreads reviews were at stake but there's nothing in this for them except the potential to lose more money and look stupid. This has to be bullshit.
What a fucking idiot. I guess that confirms SWFA ghosted him resulting in Niki/Lynne having to pay Quasi lol
That or he was drunk which is a good possibility. Piggy had a bad day yesterday thanks to Lovely Leslie doing the right thing. Piggy went on a media tour crying he’s under attack and how bomb threats follow him around so he shouldn’t be shocked that these cons are concerned for their safety is he is a guest. If you were booking a music artist / group that recently complained on national tv that bomb threats follow them to their shows wouldn’t a venue think twice about booking them? Piggy dug his own grave.
Don't talk about Leslie that way.
It's truly been an honor witnessing this fat shithead ruin his own life over these past few years. A lifetime of being an unbearable asshole has finally caught up with him and it's a beautiful, beautiful thing.
Rick Thomas said it so of course it’s bullshit
Who's he going to get the money from, President Ekpeki?
Spook
The balls on this pig.
JDA, EVS, Bounding into Comics and all the like need to be notified of this recent claim.
Where is that post here where someone found Fatso (or the dopey wife) asking legal advice online and saying the SFWA "ghosted" him and admitting Fatso signed an NDA with them?
More threats and intimidation tactics. He has no self control. Rake-stepping is his only "talent".
