La Femme Nikita has been on a fraudulent PayPal binge lately.
- Raingods: $7000
- Raingods: an additional $8000
- Pragmatica: $9300 (a new record, I believe)
- Phil Smith: $1200
What’s the occasion, you might ask? Nicky has a “chipin” at the bottom of his http://writingsfromthegrave.com page. He wants donations so he can pay his AOL bill. Originally, he had no minimum donation, so people started donating a penny. This filled our boi with TEH RAEG. So, he now claims that the minimum donation he wants is $20, and for good measure, sent out fraudulent PayPal invoices for thousands of dollars to anyone who sent a donation.
I believe that this sort of crime — and it is a crime — deserves to be reported to PayPal by those who receive these “invoices for services” from Nicky. One, it’s against the TOS. Two, it’s, well, criminal fraud. PayPal is way too eager to freeze accounts when $500 or more is involved, for a perfectly legitimate transaction. It’s time the company responded in a similar manner when fraud is actually involved.
Aside from that, the Illinois Attorney General might be interested to know that one of the state’s welfare queens is not only not reporting income from his unregistered business, but also is defrauding netizens — and the state itself.
Thanks to Baupdeth, we have a way to do just that:

Let’s see how Nicky deals with an inquiry from the AG.
And invoices to Sam Cox for $4000 each if I’m reading the comments right on the other thread.
Plus two to me for £650 GBP
I feel so left out. I think I held the record for, like, five minutes a couple of years ago. 🙁
I’m sure I missed a few others. A few years ago, I held the record, at $4000, which may have lasted until he billed someone on TwilightSucks for $5000, but that was months ago. Over the years, he’s sent out so many of these that I’ve lost track. Yet PayPal refuses to do a goddamn thing about it.
He sent me a third for another 8K. As soon as I can put up a screenshot I’ll post it. He also sent some nice emails as well.
Face it, Rain. He <3 you.
nicky wants to have your babies…eww that image makes me want to go toss my cookies.
Ugh Melany, that’s enough to make me straight.
Here’s a link to the invoice screenshot. Apparently he added more while I was away.

What I want to know is what “services” Nicky thinks he’s providing. I thought gigolos prefer cash . . .

Excellent, Sam. Thanks!
Anyone else curious to know if Kim, or any other responsible adult around the family (yes, I know!) is aware that the Boy of the Hour is begging for money online, and demanding some of the people he’s pissed off at give him thousands of dollars just for feeling butthurt?
Not that much, if anything, could be accomplished by alerting his family to this, but they still should know. What’s the next step for Nicky; stealing money from his family members?
He’s probably already stealing from them.
I sent Kim a message on Facebook but she has yet to reply.
Kim Pacione 07 December at 21:18 Report
hello!!…I am not sure what to say. Nick is out of hand I agree. I have tried to work with Nick and have informed his therapist of what he has been doing, however that has only gotten me so far. I am and a point of what I don’t know what to do. I am very ill and I am trying the best I can. If you want you can email me everything he has done and said to geminidreami@gmail.com and I will forward everything to his therapist and see if there is anything else I can do for you and for the others he is harassing. Rape and death threats against anyone especially children is something that we his family obviously dont approve of. As of now I am not Nicks guardian though.
Oh dear. Apparently, anyone can post on his message board. No account needed.

Also, anyone know what happened to Expose the Tard?
Hello everyone….It’s Kim Nick’s cousin in law….Sam I did received your email and sent a reply. Rusty I am privately emailing you here in a bit. Sam has made me aware of what is going on and I am trying my best right now to help but I can only do so much being terminally ill. I will try and keep you all updated as things progress on this end. Thank you…..
Very sorry to hear about your terminal illness, Kim. If it’s any consolation, sources tell me that at least two authors are preparing to file suit against Nicky and the title-holder of the residence where he has engaged in continued harassment, extortion, hate-speech and threat-making. Perhaps that will give you extra ammunition and leverage that you can use with the rest of the family to get Nicky the help he needs once and for all, or at the very least, get his internet access revoked.
That’s very sad to hear, Kim. You don’t deserve the shit he brings you.
Hopefully some of his latest stunts are going to bring him to a halt.
I’m sorry to hear about your illness, it’s awful you have to deal with Nick’s crap on top of that as well. 🙁
Kim;
I appreciate you are going to take some action on the things he has done.
Here’s my complaints:
*He threatened to burn my family alive with a “molitiv cocktale”
*He’s threatened to find out my address and post it on “terrorist boards” so that they “torture and murder” me and my family.
*He’s threatened to kill me multiple times
*He’s threatened to lie to the VA and claim that I’m defrauding them
*He’s threatened to beat me up
*He threatened to rape my wife
*He threatened to rape my daughter
*He threatened to burn down my home and push my family back inside
*He threatened to force my wife to carry his child to term so I would have to raise it.
*He’s contacted my publisher, claiming I plagiarized him
*He’s threatened to shoot me, and other murderous actions
*He’s claimed repeatedly, on his blog and other places, that I’m a member of Al-Queda, despite me telling him that those accusations can cause me problems and that he needs to cease making them. After the warning, he merely began yammering it louder.
*He refers to myself and other veterans as “9-11 terrorists”, and has accused us of helping kill our brothers and sisters in arms.
*He makes claims of plagiarism repeatedly and falsely
*He has referred to my wife and my daughters in foul and obscene ways, the least of which was “whores” and “sluts”
*He’s mocked the fact that I lost a wife by saying she deserved it for marrying me.
That’s just what I remember off hand.
Frankly, over the last 3 months he has been rabidly disgusting, making nasty comments and even death threats.
I hope this helps you get a picture of what he’s doing down there, hiding in the basement and using dialup.
Hi Kim,
I’m sorry that you are placed in the position you are in, especially with your health issues.
Since late June or early July Nick has been on a tear with regards to me and my wife. I luckily, wasn’t on the receiving end of most of what Mr. Ant has gone through.
However I have been able to receive:
Multiple boards threatening to rape my wife, impregnating her, forcing her to carry to term and making me provide for his ‘kid’.
Multiple board posts in which he has already claimed to have raped my wife, and slipping her, and I quote “The old Italian Sauseech.”
Multiple board posts in which he threatens to destroy personal property.
Multiple boards threatening to find me, and shoot me utilizing the ‘firearms’ which he says he has access to in the house.
Multiple board posts threatening gays.
Multiple board posts stalking juvenile writers.
Made veiled threats towards law enforcement, specifically Grundy County Sheriff’s and the City of Morris police.
Like Mr. Ant, he also accused me of being a “9-11 terrorist”, and has accused both of us of helping kill our brothers and sisters in arms.
Made claims of plagiarism repeatedly and falsely, including sending false Paypal statements.
In this same time, he has been banned from at least three separate boards for harassment, or threatening users, moderators, or administrators.
“Cunt how are you going to like it when I come to your house, and shove my dick in your mouth. Make you give me head until you beg for forgiveness for supporting trolls.”
Nick will then re-register at those sites and start up again; here is an example.
http://therustynail.wordpress.com/2010/09/30/nicky-banned-from-dark-writers/
Finally, there is this where he ‘attacks’ you.
http://npacione.wordpress.com/2010/11/10/a-open-message-to-kim/
Do I take his threats seriously? Yes and no: Yes because I live about 90 minutes from him, the threats against LEO’s, raping my wife, and the veiled shooting threat. No because of ‘Internet Tough-guy Keyboard Commando’ syndrome.
Hang in there, Kim.
Also, I think Mike should be informed about Nick’s blog post attacking him from this past summer.
Best of luck for you!
Rusty I seemed to have lost your email address 🙁
Check your email, Kim.
Wall of text off the starboard bow! This was underneath his chipin.
Funny how the reason for donations changed from ‘internet bill and bad check fees’ to needing to pay for his meds. (we all know he won’t use the donations for his meds who is he kidding?)
I was wondering about that, in America even if you’re on welfare like Nicky you still have to pay for prescriptions?
I’m on SSI, and I have to pay $1 for each of my medications, but I don’t know if it’s different in Illinois, or if Nick is on a different type that doesn’t pay.
And good news is that unlike nicky I’m now able and have been looking for full time work in bookkeeping/accounting clerk positions! Already been sending out my resumes and crossing my fingers!
No, I was not one of the people billed, but I have my own special reasons to be pissed at this shenanigan of his. Some of it is personal and some of it is job-related.
aww this bottom feeder is loved I just got a fraudulet bill for $1000
and oh yeah, I added my fraud reports to everyone else’s too :p
I feel so unloved, I’ve had no holiday cheer delivered to me. :'(
Oh look… he’s trying to defraud me for $4000 for something I never did. That mental Rolodex of his must really be spinning…
“You will each get a bill for $4,000, and with the one putting your byline on my titles — yeah that’s plagiarism. And for that I should be charging you $10,000 instead of $4,000.00. I will bill each of you an amount of cash I am sure you jackholes can afford by either ruining sales of a book.”
Nicky, Nicky, Nicky… I have not done any such thing, and you have zero evidence of any wrongdoing on my part. Time to report this fraud to PayPal and the AG of Illinois…
I got the same one. Too bad the email address he sent it to isn’t tied to my paypal account. Failed again Nikki
Good grief! How do you report a PayPal user when there’s no transaction #?
Guess who’s back?
http://spookyfiction.wikia.com/wiki/User:Nickolaus_Pacione
And he has since recreated:
http://spookyfiction.wikia.com/wiki/The_Ethereal_Gazette
http://spookyfiction.wikia.com/wiki/Lake_Fossil_Press
He’s been re-deleted and re-banned.
Thanks to whoever brought it to my attention. He must’ve created his account reaaally late last night. But at any rate, he’s gone again…for now.
I’m afraid Nicky does practically all his mischief in the wee hours of the morning, and has for years. He thinks it’s all Goth-y, or something, to keep vampire hours. Anyway, I’m glad you caught him before he caused too much more havoc.
This time I “protected” his pages from new and unregistered users. Outside of completely renaming his work, he won’t be able to edit those deleted pages anymore.
I agree though, it didn’t have enough time to get completely out of hand like it did last time.
Yes, he looks about as goth as any high school teenager who wears band shirts and sock caps. He’s one step shy of eye shadow, I’d imagine. That’s a good way to get people to take you seriously. Of course by typing this I can’t really convey the amount of sarcasm that I’d like for that last sentence.
stuck in mod
He’s also left some love on my Deviant Art page, including answering a comment made in April. Wow…
Aww, he’s sent out bills for $8,000 this time. Proper bills rather than just requests for money too. The monkey learns! Sadly the monkey only learns the dumb lessons!
http://s361.photobucket.com/albums/oo59/slacknhash2/?action=view¤t=screen_bill2.png
If you read that he brags about printing Bradley Zerbe’s story… I know for a fact that Bradley Zerbe did not know his story had been printed in EG10 and neither did the editor of Read by Dawn…
He stole that story.
This refers to

A belated thought, and relatively minor compared with some of the above, but was Mr Pacione quoted somewhere on this site, boasting of his plans to anthologise a Charles Beaumont story without permission? I don’t know if Christopher Beaumont is aware of this, although he does keep an eye on any use of his father’s work (he’s written introductions to several recent collections).
Beaumont’s story “Elegy” is in the just-released Issue 12 of The Ethereal Gazette. Link is:
http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/the-ethereal-gazette-issue-12/13851882
Interestingly, Nicky says in the introduction that the stories “have their original illustrations” And sure enough, embedded with the stories are some illustrations. Hm, I wonder about the copyright on those…
He used Charles Beaumont’s “Elegy” in The Ethereal Gazette: Issue 12.
On page six of the preview, it lists it in the TOC as beginning on page 217.
Click on the above link to see the publication listing on Lulu, then flip through the pages of the preview.
Christopher Beaumont might very well want to know about the possibly unauthorized use of his father’s story. I don’t have any contact information for him. In any case, a report of such use of his father’s work would carry more weight coming from a recognized name in the business, than from a blogger such as me.
Oops, when I referenced “the stories” in my previous post, that referred to “Elegy” and to “HEX” by Larry M. Harris, another story that Nicky claims is in the public domain.
Just wanted to add that it’s possible, though highly unlikely, that Nicky worked a deal to get permission to use the story.
IIRC, Elegy appears to be public domain, for some reason. It’s available at Gutenberg, which is where Nicky lifted it from.
I received a little love note myself today.
“each time I catch you putting a story out there using my concepts, ideas and titles — I will start sending you a bill for each time you do it. You’re a fucking scumbag as it is and if you were in the states I will be kicking the crap out of you for doing so.”
Edit: forgot to say that it was only for $4k dollars.
Another nitwit on the block

Aahhhh, no fraudulent Paypal invoices for me yet. I’m feeling neglected. 🙂
Well, as the old rhyme says, Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat. You can look up the next line for yourself!
send him a penny on his chipin if it’s still open
I feel that this is highly relevant to this discussion http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/07/business/07borker.html?_r=1
Wow! The parallels are striking, even down to one guy doing it to raise his profile on web searches, while Nicky’s doing it to raise his profile as a tough horror writer (and because he’s batsh!t crazy.) I think Nicky’s threats are much worse than this guy’s, “I can hurt you,” not to mention more prolonged and prolific.
I’ll be watching the case with great interest as it has the capacity to set legal precedence. As a functional medical solution to Nick’s behavior seems about as plausible as a prince of hell passing out ice lollies to the damned, prison might do the trick.
Nicky has a new Xanga up in which he promises to share his transsexual/transvestite porn stash with Angry, what a guy!
WOWNinja365, I appreciate that and already sent them a message.
fb updates
“Started a new wikia thing — for the entire small press at large. http://smallpress.wikia.com/. Since SpookyFiction.wikia.com refuses to put a listing for Lake Fossil Press. This will be for a good number of the small press to employ. Any kind of vandalism though will be deleted and the person doing the vandalism will be deleted and banned without warning.
“I got Bandersnatch Books actually listed plus some of their corrupt practices of trying to send people $ .01 donations on someone’s chipin.com thing. I caught House of Horror doing this too.
“The Ethereal Gazette — home of Ray Faraday Nelson’s “8 O’Clock In the Morning.” If you see someone coming up with “Lake Fossil Imprints” that’s would be Delirium books and it’s disrespectful shit. They’re that disrespectful.
“Bandersnatch Books — the corrupt practices, donating $ .01 on a chipin where it’s at least $10.00 for a proper donation. Tell me if that’s not cheap or what.”
How is $.01 corrupt practices? Corrupt practices are not paying your authors, lying when you say you’ll donate sales to hurricane victims, using stories without permission…shall I go on Nicky?
Ya know, you try and help someone out, and this is thanks you get? Being called corrupt? Jesus, some people. 😛
I also got about a dozen emails from him in the last two hours. I’ll put them up on a blog when I get a chance.
Pretty sure this violates Wikia’s TOS.

Gee, guess it does. What’s a person to do?

“Well looking at the blog of the old battle axe called an ex-fiancee, she accuses me of stalking her when she goes around with a new circle of trolls to give them dirt about me. Yeah she goes around wanting to plagiarize The Storms Of Armageddon, the one novella that got me noticed by Diagnosis2012.co.uk.
“Concerning the fat bitch known as the ex, FUCK IT ALL!

He’s just pissed that I’ve blocked him from posting comments on his blog. Cry me a river fat ass Nicky
“They really don’t mention their actual motives of blackballing other publishers because they keep a different political agenda than they do.”
LOL! I didn’t know my book with them was 1. blackballing someone and 2. a political agenda. I thought it was just good old horror. I never get the memos! 🙁
Thought everyone might want to know. Mr. Pacione has finally decided to leave my site alone… however, he is starting up a site to “compete” with mine since I won’t allow him to add his publications that have been in the “trenches” for years.
His new wiki site…
http://smallpress.wikia.com/wiki/Small_Press_Wiki
I have to warn zines such as House of Horror. He claims that I show “bias” even though I thought I made it clear that I blocked him due to his conduct and for no other reason, but he claims that he will be posting “the truth” or some other nonsense.
I don’t have Rusty’s email, else I would’ve sent this message there first.
Take care,
Brian
Wow, after closer examination of the previous posts, I am a little slow with this news… nevermind, ha.
Brian, in that gray mush that passes for a semblance of a brain in Nicky’s cro-magon head, his actions are never at fault. It’s always somebody else that’s wrong, out to get him, or both.
He once lifted a cover photo from an issue of National Geographic, then went off blaming everyone else when the magazine aimed their lawyers at him.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he does little sniping attacks without logging in.
Also is there a way to report his new pages to wikia regarding libel, and the fact that any changes result in a ban?
He’s started on Delirium Books and Angry now.
http://smallpress.wikia.com/wiki/Delirium_Books
It looks as though he’s trying to be careful with his language in an effort to avoid getting it deleted.
He’s tried that before, thinking himself to be clever. He fails. Again.
Does anyone know whether he’s been reported yet, and if so, by how many people? As soon as he starts going after individuals, he’s fair game.
Rusty,
I reported him, haven’t heard anything back yet.
Very very nice entry for that.
I just reported him for TOS violations
Did his mother have lead in her breast milk? How can someone that dumb eat and drink without accidentally swallowing their tongue?
Mind you, given the illiterate incoherence of the text, I can’t imagine anyone who matters taking it seriously. For instance, what on earth does this mean?
‘Rumor mill is that was said of Poppy Z. Brite around the time of Hurricane Katrina was the springboard for Shane to do the fraud named “Lake Fossil Imprint” and “Spider House Publishing.”‘
I hope my quoting this doesn’t count as plagiarism.
Considering that Nicky reproduced an entire letter, on company letterhead, and noted that it was copyrighted, but he was using it under fair use provisions, I hardly think he knows the difference.
There at least three states in the U.S. that have towns or locales known as Fossil Lake. I’m still waiting for him to sue those states for plagiarism.
What I find most amusing is that the suburbs around Chicago contain quite a few aquatic fossils, one of which, the Tullimonstrum gregarium (or “Tully Monster“), is found nowhere else. In fact, it was declared the state fossil in 1989. Yet, Nickypoo modeled his “Lake Fossil” on Nessie, after his mom and step-dad took him on a trip to the UK. I’m not even sure they visited Scotland during that trip, let alone Loch Ness.
In reply to Baupdeth on Angry’s deviantart, the emphasis is mine.
In addition to an apparently room temperature I.Q. he also has quite a masochistic streak doesn’t he? Accusing over 100k people of being plagiarists based solely on their membership of one internet forum, what next, Nicky? Will you bet that all Austrians are genocidal failed painters? That all giant gorillas live only to climb the Empire States Building while carrying an attractive blonde? That every Ewok will have his day? That Edward Cullen will one day step off the page and whisk you away to an eternity of sexual fulfilment?
Honestly, Nickerdoodles, a blind rat that never leaves its dark tunnels sees more than you ever will.
Looks like Nicky has downgraded the Something Awful crowd from a pack of murderers to simply plagarists. Either way, both offenses are unforgivable in Nicky’s dimwitted mind.
He’s put me on notice that he’s “feeling relentless” which means he’s definitely off his meds and in a manic phase. He warned me about being a “SomethingAwful Goon” and doing his famous “Goons get what goons deserve” line.
He’d pretty much started on me out of the blue.
He doesn’t want me to go on the offensive right now. I’ve pretty much gotten bored with him, which means it might be time to let some authorities know that he’s starting his bullshit.
Room temperature is a tad high estimate for his IQ, Lewis. ;D
Neostylis Lou Sneary orchid pr0n here. I love these little guys. They smell nice, too.
AHAHAHAHA!
He’s claiming that I’m the one editing his Wiki because someone called him a hunchback and Sparkle Pony.
AHAHAHAHAHA!
He fails on so many levels.
And he went apeshit on me when I asked him if granny was still mad that he tried to have sex with a dog and it bit him.
Think it might be too close to the truth?
WTF!!!
http://npacione.wordpress.com/2010/12/10/i-am-on-record/
THAT should be reportable.
That’s a threat of violence right there.
Might be time to contact some law enforcement officers.
God…he still goes on about columbine like it happened yesterday not years and years ago. Hey nicky you’re nothing like those horrible people that shot up the school no matter how much you pretend to be!
That is so disgusting, filled to the brim with utter lies. It might have a ghost of truth to it IF he didn’t continually threaten the children of others as soon as he finds out they have them. And it certainly doesn’t excuse his repeated threats of rape and violence against women. His death threats against grown men aren’t much better, sorry guys but gender bias has you trapped on the ‘take this shit seriously’ scale.
I sincerely hope his family don’t swallow his so called explanations. This has gone far beyond bullying and self-defense. I really do know what it’s like from the inside. Kim, I know you are sick yourself and tired of everybody dumping responsibility for Nick on you but please don’t give up.
Reported to wordpress staff, but as usual I expect nothing to be accomplished.
FB updates:
“The new profile photo is recent. It’s also used with my 12th Issue’s TOC header as a panorama photo. I got a lot of flack for having the middle finger waving in the air so the photo is on VampireFreaks.com

“Yes I bill trolls.
“This page is protected by me because of excessive vandalism. This is one of the few protected pages along with Bandersnatch Books’ listing with some screen shots showing the shoddy practices of one of the staff members.”
He’s probably too stupid to realize that if anyone actually PAID his fake bills he’d lose his monthly check in a heartbeat.
Gee, I do believe that is extortion, and I wonder what Paypal will think when call them tomorrow and report him?
If anyone should be worried about his disability checks it’s Nicky. I’m sure the Social Security Administration doesn’t take kindly to fraud and unreported income.

Not only is that laughable, but it could be used to hold him to account for the things he says.
The only way he could have a level head is if it got hit with a 1×12.
With rusty nails poking out of it.
LOL, Baup. Lockjaw might actually improve his speech.
Classic Nicky in the comment he left on the Kilter magazine entry on his Wiki.
Please provide direct links to these death threats. Thank you. — Anthony WordPress.com
Seriously??? This is the reply I get!!
Yes, WordPress wants direct proof. Not only that, the death threats have to be posted using its service, not elsewhere. Nicky used to hate WP until he discovered that the service is very protective of first amendment freedom of speech rights. However, illegal activity, such as death threats, trumps freedom of speech. You just need to provide proof that their service was used to carry out the threats.
Hah I am sure he’s said plenty about others on other posts. I just only figured out how to report him now I am using WP. As much as I would love to see him get thrown off WP, I really can’t be arsed to go back through his posts to find any. I’d rather gouge out my eyes with a dirty spoon!
WP wouldn’t throw him off the service; all it would do is hold his account hostage until he removed the offending material.
Hah! Its gone!!!
ok its gone from the RSS feed but its still there….. huh??
It shows up in the NewsFox feed I have, and also in the feed in my sidebar here. You might have found a temporary glitch.
Hmm. He’s rediscovered his Twitter account. Nothing interesting there, except his announcement that EG12 is finally available. He made no mention of using Charles Beaumont’s story, though.
Not that I care all that much but my Lulu account was disabled and my parodies have been removed, I assume it was for leaving inventive tags on Nicky’s products though he’ll doubtless claim it a victory against “plagiarism”. A warning or an explanatory e-mail from Lulu might have been nice but c’est la vie.
I have an appointment with his therapist next week. I am once again taking everything i can printed from online, peoples phone numbers they have sent me and posts from his blog to see what I can do. There are a few things that bother me. People are sending Nick $1.00 on paypal, now if i recall correctly that ALL income needs to be reported to social security, so in all fairness Nick should be reporting all this income even if it is $1.00 per person? And shouldn’t his “book” sales ( I don’t think their is any) be reported as well? I think this is seriously breaking the law or has to be a crime in some way. Even on the application for ssi they ask if you are, have billed ,or are expecting large amounts of money….well right now it seems to me that Nick is expecting thousands from the invoices he is sending out….makes me wonder what type of trouble he could be in….
Theoretically, it does count as “income” if people “chip in” for his begging-for-money pleas, via PayPal, and he actually receives money. Ditto his absurd demands for thousands of dollars via fraudulent PayPal bills that he hands out like licorice to people he doesn’t like.
If he were to do old-fashioned begging on the street corner, with or without pencils for a quarter, it’d be a whole lot easier for him to hide his income from the government.
Yes, any money he receives from book sales does count as income, as far as the government is concerned.
Other than this entry on his Blurty, he hasn’t gone after me specifically in a few months.
Best of luck, Kim, and I sincerely hope the little tard doesn’t require all your energy to handle. You need it for yourself.
I’m on SSI, and I have to report all my income. They forgive the first $20, and then only count half of it after that, but the paychecks from my job DO affect how much my check is every month. I have to send in every proof of income I get or get a phone call asking me why I haven’t sent it in yet.
You have to report ANYTHING, but like Melany said, less than $20 they just wave away.
He said on one of his updates that he’s expecting $350 soon, so he’s (theoretically) going to get paid.
It’s pretty much fraud if he isn’t reporting it.
Like I said up above, he’s warned me he’s feeling “relentless” and plans on coming after everyone. Plus, again, here’s what his PayPal demand for money said to me:
So basically, he isn’t using those to bill for anything, he’s just trying to take my money away to hurt me.
My advice? Go down there and cut his little AOL cable. He’s obviously off his meds, and he’s using the internet to do little but attack other people.
It’s almost amusing watching the changes Nicky makes to his Wiki, he really has a bee in his bonnet about Bandersnatch and has also changed the Kilter entry so it’s nearly all about him and his magazine.
Yeah sending the 1 penny really sent him over the edge. Not that it was a far way to go.
On the other hand the last email I sent him I said anything he said or did would be reported to whoever he tried using-wordpress, paypal, wiki or whatever; that I had no intent on giving him any mentions on my blogs as that would infer I viewed him as an equal which is not remotely the case.
Haven’t heard from him since.
However for all his shennanigans, he has gotten more traffic to our site, and sales have picked up quite a bit. 🙂
Yeah, baby! About the sales!
I kind of gave it a push on FB!
He added a screencap to the Bandersnatch books page, now I can see why he’s so angry about that payment and it’s even more beautiful than I had believed.

ROFL. So what he’s really pissed off about is that PayPal’s transaction fee cost him that penny.
Nickerdoodles, you’re the one who insists that people use PayPal to give — yes, give — you money. You got what you deserved.
I almost expected to click on the screen shot and see that they charged him a fee that was more than the penny LOL
That is so funny! Definitely made my day!
I’d like to make a correction to the Bandersnatch page. I don’t “own” Black Death Books. BDB is just an imprint that’s owned by the larger KHP company. It’s always been an imprint, not a company in and of itself, as Nicky seems to believe. And if you want to get specific about things, SD Hintz is the official owner and head of KHP, so it’s “owned” by him. I’d point this out, but I know the correction wouldn’t last and I’d be accused of lying—even though there is documented proof in the state of Minnesota for of all this, of course.
Nikki wouldn’t know fact from pudding… mmm… pudding…
From FB, Nikita updated his ‘sports’
Boxing: “I actually picked this up in the Navy. One of my shipmates actually taught me how to box but when I got into fights in high school I actually boxed them. I only wish my mother signed me up for amateur boxing when I was a teenager because I would have done very well in this.
Judo: “I took this the second half of my high school years. I actually want to continue this in my adult years but there’s no Judo dojos in Joliet. I only found one in Chicago, and they actually knew my old Sensai. I actually demonstrated that I was still able to do the breakfall — the first thing they teach you how to do before you even throw a body or choke the shit out of someone. The reason I loved Judo more than wrestling is because you can actually choke people and apply arm bars. I shocked myself when I actually threw a 340 lb guy when I was working at Remcor in a one armed shoulder throw. They coin Judo the gentleman’s martial art but it’s actually lethal in a street fight — the shoulder throw (instead of hanging onto the poor sap, but let go of the son of the bitch.)
Wrestling: “I wrestled in 8th Grade, Freshmen year, and left sophomore year — switched to Judo”
If Nicky didn’t make it through basic training in the Navy, how could he have ship mates? Would he have even gotten near a ship?
And, silly Nicky, a shoulder throw wouldn’t be lethal in a street fight. It wouldn’t feel good, but it’s certainly not deadly.
Shoulder throws are neither shocking nor dangerous, and I strongly doubt Nikki threw a 340 pound individual with such a throw. Unless the guy was willing to flow with the action. Fat as Nikki is, he can’t pull a shoulder throw against someone that heavy — that’s just stupid.
If you let go after the throw, you essentially release what control over your opponent you might have had. If he has some training, he’ll be able to roll with it and get back on his feet.
As usual, Nikki proves he knows jack shit about martial arts.
Oh, and Nikki? Reality says you’re wrong when you say “there’s no judo dojos in Joliet.”
A few years ago, we were working on hip throws one night in my combat HKD class, and they were trying to get me – 160 lbs, 5’9″ – to throw a pretty large guy – about 6’6″ and 260 to 275 lbs. I said “no”. I knew I couldn’t throw him well enough to let him land properly. So there’s no way that Nicky threw a 340 lb guy over his shoulder.
And yes, Mike is right. If you hang onto your opponent during and after the throw, you keep control over him. It’s relatively easy – if you execute the throw well – to finish him off with an arm bar – or on the street, a snapped elbow. He ain’t going to be thinking about continuing the fight.
In one month of Aikido training I learned one very important thing — if you do a throw, don’t let go of your opponent. The only time you do that is if you’re facing multiple opponents and need to shift your attention quickly.
A release does not make the throw more “deadly,” Nikki. You’re just talking out of your ass.
Jenny’s right. Leverage can only get you so far, and in her case, her trying to throw someone that massive is just a recipe for disaster.
Throws are not part of my personal “tool box” of moves I can execute well no matter my adrenalin level, and in all my years of teaching self defense – primarily to women – I’ve never taught them. I just don’t think throws are practical street moves. For men or women.
Street fighting, the only throw you EVER do is throw the guy against the wall so you can put punches into his kidneys. Guys who like to street fight have a bad habit of popping back up and punching out your teeth.
And I love how he makes it sound like he actually did time in the Navy, when he didn’t even get past Basic Training. He didn’t make it AIT (Advanced Individual Training, where you receive your jobs skills) and definitely didn’t make it to shipboard.
Could you just imagine him on ship? Oh Lord, his bunkmates would be ready to kill him inside of a week.
FUN GAME: Count how many times he types “actually” in that latest FB update.
“I actually picked this up in the Navy. One of my shipmates actually taught me how to box.”
Translation? “I made a pass at the sailor-suit guy from a Village People tribute band and he punched me in the face.”
— C.
If Nicky actually managed to throw a guy that big the guy let him. Otherwise the guy would have torn Nicky in half.
No, his fellow trainees in the Navy probably beat the crap out of Nicky after he half-assed whatever exercise or activity they were working on that day, getting the rest of the group into trouble. I’m sure there was a lot of crying and vague threats of legal action being emitted as Nicky got the daylights pounded out of him.
Oh, and if Nicky was “boxing” people in high school, he was probably standing there (because he didn’t run home fast enough), covering his face with both arms while whatever classmate who had had enough of his shit repeatedly punched him like he was working out with a heavy bag.
Besides, in any regular fight, no judo or boxing training is going to do you any good, because your opponent isn’t going to stand there and let you set up whatever fancy move you’re trying to do.
Translation: Nicky showed up to wrestling practice in costume, couldn’t understand why there were only safety mats on the floor, and not a ring, and was told to get the hell out by the coach for disrupting practice with his stupid questions about tag teams or winning championship belts.
Either that, or he ran out screaming in pain after someone demonstrated a painful amateur hold on him…
I suspect Nikki may have once seen a streetfight from a distance, which automatically makes him an expert. My own recollection of street fighting is
1) Relieve opponent of any edged or blunt weapons (regardless of what you might think, taking an axe away from someone is actually fairly easy, as long as you pay attention to what they’re doing with it. Knives tend to be trickier, and usually involved breaking several upper extremity bones)
2) Pick opponent up by whatever appendages are within reach, preferably to include genetalia. This discourages further resistance, and makes any of that sissy pseudo-judo crap impossible. If your opponent really knew judo, you’d rarely get this far.
3) Shake opponent like a pair of maracas. This portion of the exercise usually requires being larger than the opponent, but that was not an issue for me in most of my extra-curricular activities. I was bigger in fourth grade than Nikki is now, and I don’t mean merely in avoirdupois.
4) Slam opponent headfirst into nearest immovable object.
Fight over.
In the neighborhood in which I practiced these activities, doing anything remotely resembling what Nikki described would result in him being obliged to consume his own testicles, without benefit of using the teeth no longer present in his mouth.
And if Step 4 doesn’t work, get ready, because he’s going to be one of those assholes that’s almost impossible to put down. Sometimes, if you bounce them headfirst off of a wall, and they stand back up, it’s better to just run for it.
And the hits just keep on comin’!
“Playing with some lyrics that I am writing called Barbed Wire Crown — this has the dark imagery of Ezurate instead of doing the blasphemy style lyrics. The Dante’s Inferno imagery. Potraying legalistic religious leaders as blaphemors dead before God with coins over their eyes.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he’d take it as a death threat I’d suggest someone photoshopping some coins over Nicky’s eyes to show him it isn’t bloody scary. Hell if I remember the mythology correctly, and I’m not sure I do, it was more terrifying not to have coins placed on your eyes as then you were forced to spend an eternity on the banks of the river Styx
I bet Nikki’s obsession with coins over the eyes was from a 80’s music video, and he is secretly a Billy Joel fan!
For laughs, check out “We Didn’t Start the Fire”. (Mute it for all I care), or fast forward to about 3:20-3:30.
You got your mythology correct Lewis. 🙂 If you didn’t have coins for Charon you were stuck with no way across.
Interesting, the main page of Nicky’s Wiki (god I hope someone writes a story called something like Nicky Trotter and the Wiki of Horror) and some of the subpages are still there but whenever I click on Bandersnatch Books for example it tells me the wiki has been closed.
http://smallpress.wikia.com/wiki/Bandersnatch_Books
I just tried typing “smallpress.wikia.com” into my browser address bar and got a “this wikia has been closed page”. Hmm…
Yup, his wiki site was shut down for TOS violations.
