H/T: Lewis
Read the whole meshuggeneh here. The tail end of his first paragraph reads:
When you want to silence someone who has a mental illness — you have to realize Adolf killed us too in the Holocaust.
Yeah, I’m not sure making a clinically psychotic guy take a “time out” from his online rantings, ravings, and threats toward other authors and perceived enemies is the same as being shipped to a death camp in an overcrowded cattle car, but in the diseased mind of Nikita, they are totally the same thing!
As I am writing Legend Keeper there is an underlying madness wandering with that one …
I can’t disagree with that self-assessment. Pretty much anything he writes sounds psychotic, or incoherent; take your pick.
If you really sat down and read this story and thumbed around my blog postings speaking about my mental health — you wouldn’t go picking something like that apart like an asshole; you would let other people buy the anthology if you had a heart.
There goes the “woe is me, pity me, poor mentally ill guy; disregard my threats to you and your family members of shootings and arson” routine. If it were only that, people would leave him alone, and he wouldn’t have his own page on Encyclopedia Dramatica. “Oh, and BTW, buy my dreck because you feel sorry for me” is not exactly enticing to the average reader.
Also those who are going around doing those shitty cartoons — you are contributing to this too whether you know it or not …
LOL! Stinky Cat got a shout out. Those comics were really funny.
Not many small press publishers reach that mark. Lake Fossil Press is a survivor and Gayest Uncommon Denominator had leaked a story they rejected — the reason they did that because it was mine. You want to know why I hate GUD magazine and gave that fucking name; they’re in cahoots with S.E. Cox because they did her video game like covers (they look like fucking video games.
Kaolin is a really nice guy. Nicky’s allegations against him and G.U.D. are false. As far as Sam Cox goes, she seemed like another Nitwit, but disappeared off the radar several years ago. Let’s do the Time Warp!
If you are going to stifle someone with a learning disability and a mental illness, where the fuck is your heart? That’s if you have one — The Grinch had a bigger heat than yours when he stole Christmas if that makes sense for you.
Awww! Pity the asshole! Buy his drivel! He needs the extra income, because da gub’mint doesn’t give him enough each month to satisfy his needs wants.
Think about that before you treat someone like shit …
Um, yeah, think about that once in a while, before you send folks (and their family members) death threats, Nicky. Treating people like shit comes naturally to him, whether or not he’s ever met them. Demanding that internet strangers do otherwise to him is … um, WAT?
The rest of his blog entry is like drool from a 150 lb. Newfie (dog). Must escape it.
Yet he also has this:
Then buying their work because you “feel sorry” for us — that pisses me off too.
Nikita never could figure out logic.
I had to laugh at his whining about not fucking over TOC mates, because he does that ALL THE TIME for such innocent stuff as asking him politely to spell their name correctly or asking about typos/mistakes on the cover of the book their story is in.
Kaolin is a very nice guy. When I was trying to get the Dead West anthology off the ground, he submitted a story that I ultimately had to reject. That had more to do with trying to keep the book at a specific length, and less to do with the story, however, he was very professional about it, and didn’t raise a fuss.
That’s why he’s respected and Nicky isn’t.
Yup!
I am bemused by one of the tags beside Mr Pacione’s posting: “fuck you, H.P. Lovecraft”. Has Lovecraft offended him too?
Well, he’s run out of living writers, may as well start on the dead ones.
There’s also “Ramsey Campbell, Revisiting Old Journals.” Perhaps he thinks you live in a time warp, like he does? The order in which he adds his tags can be unintentionally amusing.
I’m bipolar 2 and I don’t act like Nick – I never have. Nor has any of the other folks I know with BP2. As I’ve said before, there is no illness called Assholia. Nick hides behind his mental health label so he can be a bigoted, willingly ignorant asshole.
What I find fascinating is that his antisocial behavior goes back at least to his high school years, yet he wants so desperately to belong to any group that will have him. He keeps trying to join online groups, but gets kicked out in short order. Facts are that he got stuffed into his locker, tossed around like a football, slammed into a school bus, and was given an atomic wedgie by his schoolmates. None of that is attributable to his low IQ, or being bipolar. It all happened because he acted like an asshole.
Nicky is good at remembering things the way he wants to, not like they happened. And I’d be willing to bet he wasn’t very popular long before high school. It just happened to culminate there.
Given that he narc-ed on some people in Iowa for smoking pot, he probably started out ratting on the other kids as far back as kindergarten for things they may or may not have done, simply because they annoyed him.
That is another sign of his hypocrisy I know for a fact he smoked pot HIMSELF in Iowa. He confessed it to me one night. He claims he didn’t know the ‘cigarette’ a friend gave him was actually a joint.
