No, not Post Toasties the cereal. Another one of Nicky’s posts is toast — for copyright violation, of all things. It’s not as if that never happened before to Nicky, and this is some sort of big mistake. No, dear readers, this is not at all unusual for Peaches Porcine.
This time it didn’t come with a nice, scary cease-and-desist letter from the lawyers of a major national magazine (National Geographic), but the result is essentially the same. In fact, the result is the same as every other time he was reported for using someone’s story in one of his anthologies without the author’s knowledge or permission, let alone a contract or any form of payment. Yes, sports fans, it was removed by the company hosting it.
Quick! Call a waahmbulance.
awww and Nicky was so proud of himself for all that hard work!
I know! It was six pages worth of single spaced nonsense, but I’ll give him credit for using a semi-readable font. Naturally, I saved a copy of the .pdf he publicly posted before the people at Dropbox made it disappear. Of course I did!
ooh it makes you wonder if he lost HIS copy, and how much it would be worth to him to get it back!
I love it. He has been raging against plagarists and copyright for at least a week on twitter now. Maybe this will shut him up for a few hours.
NOW YOU SIT DOWN AND LISTEN, NICKY….stealing is bad, mkay? YOU think about that one.
Silly Pixi; rules are for others.
You haven’t joined the forum, have you? Things usually pick up over there when Nicky goes all manic like he’s doing now. It’s a troll-free zone. I keep it that way by approving membership, and hiding the sub-boards from non-members.
I have not joined yet but I shall, thank you 🙂
Troll-free zones are wonderful things.
It’s technically not invitation-only, but it helps expedite membership approval if I recognize whatever handle you choose to use. 😉
“Now you sit down and listen, Nicky…” and “You think about that one” sounds to me like something Sheryl would say to Nickolaus while admonishing him. No wonder he tries to use the same thing on others. The thing is, Nicky is not an authority figure that has the power to intimidate us into obeying him. Neither is Sheryl to Nicky, since the most effort she’s ever gone to, as far as parenting him was to call long distance from Florida and scolding him from afar. There is not a single original thought coming from Nicky that he’s not parroting from someone else.
I believe it. I have a good chuckle every time he tries to scold the internets. Keep waggin that sausage finger, Peaches!
I’m sure he grew up hearing those phrases from both Mommy Sheryl and Granny Shirley. No doubt, Shirley was more intimidating than Sheryl “Tanks4U.”
Sheryl can be credited with locking Nicky in the basement when he was a kid, taking away his TV viewing time while he was in HS when he misbehaved, and showing him how to illegally skip trace his enemies once he got out of school. BTW, does anyone know whether Tanks4U is a legally registered, tax paying business? ‘Cause we know Lake Fossil Press isn’t.
“How can Mike Brendan justify when he sees my work plagiarized and denies it – it’s like Holocaust denial.”
Stay classy, Nick. Stay classy.
Wow, tasteless much? NOTHING is “like the Holocaust” EXCEPT THE HOLOCAUST.
And … Nicky’s back on InsaneJournal, after nearly two years away from it. Evidently, he’s been burning up the phone lines, making a pill of himself, trying to get them to come around to his way of doing covers.
