UPDATE: I’ve added more at the end, with an “ETA.”
Nicky’s writing a new story in which he goes after Twitter’s CEO. He also does so in his latest WP blog entry.
I am going to be swiping at Twitter’s CEO in this piece big time.
Jack is a fucking moron when it comes to the publishing industry and allows those who are Conservative to be silenced?
Because the CEO of every company that’s ever nuked Nicky’s account for TOS violations is a moron? The Twitter CEO can get in line behind dozens of others. Being nuked for a second time from Twitter has nothing to do with Nicky expressing conservative views. There’s a #tcot hashtag that’s an acronym for “the conservatives of Twitter.” I haven’t seen it used as much lately as I used to, but it still exists.
“Go ahead and throw a phelm filled lewgie at me!”
Loogie. It’s spelled loogie. By definition it’s a gob of phlegm, not “phelm.” People don’t throw loogies. Who wants that goo in their hand? I have no idea why he enclosed that sentence in quotation marks. It deserves a place on my Nitwit Quotes page for posterity.
Let’s see him get a fucking job working on CreateSpace.com or Lulu.com dealing with the authors swearing at him day in and day out.
Aside from Nicky, who picks up the phone, calls customer support, and lays into the poor person at the other end with a stream of profanities? It’s not a highly skilled job, but it does require a solid knowledge of company policy, and a lot more patience than most people have.
“I don’t want to hear this working class hero bullshit from you; you get Social Security Disability so your money comes out of my pocket.” I can hear someone saying.
Does this mean he stopped swearing long enough to listen? Truer words have never been spoken regarding funding for his SSDI check. Yes, that money does come from people who actually pay income tax. There are a lot more people who have FICA taken out of their paychecks — including part-time checkout clerks — than there are billionaires who live off their investment income. Those are the working class heroes, not wannabe authors who sponge off the government because pushing a broom or stocking shelves (work that they are perfectly capable of doing) is beneath their imaginary dignity.
When it comes to Christine Morgan if she’s on the street begging for food in Chicago — if I have that last half of my Subway sandwich I am giving it to my dog right in front of her.
That right there is one reason he never has enough money to pay his bills. That $5 or $6 would be better spent on groceries than fast food. It could buy a whole chicken, or a 10 lb. sack of potatoes with enough left over for a bag of onions, where I shop. It could also buy a lot of rice and dry beans. Heck, he could even get a loaf of day-old bread and a pack of luncheon meat for $5, and feed himself for a week. Farm-raised Chilean salmon goes for $6.95/lb. at my grocery store. That’ll serve four people as is, or twice that if made into salmon cakes.
Back to the Twitter CEO:
Jack you’re from my fucking state you moron — were you born with a silver spoon in your mouth? Help the goddamn poor asshole as I am working poor when I only get 8900 a year from Social Security.
It’d be less than that if he really was working, or reported to the IRS whatever paltry income he receives from selling his error-riddled, poorly produced “books.” I’m sure he sells more books to himself than to everyone else combined, but still … his argument that he should have his Twitter account reinstated because he’s poor is utter bullshit. TOS don’t state that they can be violated by poor people, but everyone else has to abide by them.
Well with my uncle in the hospital I have my cousin pissing down my back for oversleeping — I told him it was the medicine that is Ranitidine that puts me out like that, it’s a prescription version of Zantac.
Poor Don. I really feel for the guy, given what Nicky puts him through. I hope he’s improving; it’s unclear whether he’s back in the hospital since the last time Nicky mentioned it, or still there. As for the prescription antacid, it must have the opposite effect on him that it does on others, because insomnia is listed as a side-effect, not drowsiness. It’s more likely that one of his antipsychotic meds is making him sleepy.
I got a conversation with Amazon.con whoever is doing the malicious reviews they are so busted right now. They got caught masturbating to child pornography with their mother walking in on them — can I even say that?
You just did, Peaches. I’ve no idea what you’re talking about, but you did write that. Because it’s written, with no proof whatsoever, it’s libel. But, if you do have proof, Nicky, might I suggest you take screencaps of all those kiddie porn sites your reviewer is visiting, and send them to the police, along with links to the websites?
Well more or less I am happy to see what’s back online and waiting for sales to do a trickle effect — sorry Reade this is where you failed as Amazon.com saw the offensive reviews saying, “I don’t blame you for being pissed. You were pissed when they did this when you were with Booksurge.”
Once again, I call bullshit. I don’t doubt he got on the horn with support at Amazon, and gave the poor person an earful, but the support person would have no way of knowing Nicky’s long history with getting lousy reviews anywhere other than Amazon unless Nicky told him/her all about it.
The guy got really mad at the choice of vocabulary and I would have said it in that way too. I am not exactly politically correct I am not going to apologize for the politically incorrect vocabulary either. Well I am waiting to see what Amazon.com does with those reviews as I will make the e-mail what they said to me public.
I can’t wait. There’s no question it’s too much to ask of Nicky to be polite when he wants someone to do something for him, but I’m willing to bet that whatever email response he gets is polite, and professional. Somewhere along the way, Nicky learned that he gets his way by letting loose with an undeserved torrent of abuse, but it just might not work this time. Amazon might not cave into his demands the way Lulu finally did.
God, I can’t believe I managed to slog my way through that whole piece of drivel.
ETA: Oops. I thought that was the end of his entry. Nope. It continues in another font, after he posts the polite email he received from Amazon about referring his complaint to “the community team.”
Well I am looking to see what Ramsey finds out when his review gets ganked because of his bullshit — I get tired of the bullshit and would like to make a little bit of cash from a book I wrote. Well I can always sue Jack of Twitter for a $1,000,000 to have me set for life.
No lawyer is going to take that case on a contingency or pro bono basis, and he can’t even afford the filing fee. A million might be sufficient, if he only plans to live another couple of decades, and has to live on his own without learning to economize, but it won’t see him through his 90s — not the way he wastes his SSDI check and EBT.
Having caught Brian Keene with my SSN was a low move on his part and my cousin trying to claim he owns half of my imprint was another low move. I do not like arguing with my family over my professional life — especially my immediate family; I told them not to intervene with things they don’t understand.
I thought he lived to argue with people, and pepper them with abuse. He doesn’t have a “professional life.” Everything about his life is as unprofessional as it gets. As for his social security number, he posted the first five digits of it online himself, for chrissakes, in his attempt to show that he knew how the system for assigning them works. Unsurprisingly, he got that wrong, by the way.
The story I submitted out well it’s about 3,067 words — the same size as The Fandom Writer.
That’s roughly six pages, going by Janrae’s 500 words per page rule of thumb. That counts as a short story, alright, but nobody sane will ever publish it.
Now if you’re the asshole going “too long; didn’t read,” will you shut your shithole already as in you’re eating out of the same place you take a shit from. You come up with a 2400-3400 word short story or blog entry and see what results you have because I will find your anthology you appear in.
Unfortunately, I did finally manage to make it through his entire blog entry. Mercifully, I’m still alive to tell about it. I’ll give Nicky a hint: my piss-poor attempt at writing a short story did make it into the first Fossil Lake anthology. I haven’t submitted anything since, because I know my limitations. Fiction is simply not something I can do well; it requires a different skill set than writing research articles for trade journals and clients.
Like he ever feeds the dog anyway.
Good point. That said, any self-respecting (untrained) dog would snatch a sandwich out of anyone’s hand in a nanosecond, opportunists that they are.
Ours has a particular fondness for cheesesteaks. He earned himself the moniker “black footed bagelsnatcher” when he was a semi-trained puppy, for stealing my bagel & lox, but to this day, cheesesteaks are enough to make him forget his manners.
Nicky left a comment on my blog last week (where it is destined to sit in moderation purgatory until the end of times). Amongst his typical drivel, he told me that every time a copy of Fossil Lake II is sold, God kills someone’s dog. Good times.
You can consign it to “trash,” and get it off your moderation queue, where it’ll stay, until you delete it for real. FWIW, my dog, and cats are still alive, and feisty.
Oh, yes, I am aware of that. I’ve also taken a screen shot of it, because I like to document his awful behavior. I’ve just not gotten around to permanently deleting it yet. All of the dogs I know, including my own, are also alive and well. Nicky’s just pissed because I am giving away a copy of FL2.
I really need to contribute a piece to that…
I’d like to hear more about this cousin trying to take over half his imprint. I’m sure that story is hilarious.
So would I.
His cousin sounds like a masterful troll.
Hey Nicky you can find MY short story in the first Fossil Lake Anthology! Making it easy to find knowing your research skills suck almost as much as your so called ‘writing’!
So much laughter here at him whining about amazon reviews of his work being personal attacks. Aren’t 99% of HIS reviews personal attacks on the authors?
I feel bad for his uncle. Serious illness is horrible enough without sharing your home with a basement troll.
He keeps boasting about the size of his stories. I think he’s over compensating for something else being tiny.
He’s a flea with an erection floating down the river on his back yelling for someone to raise the drawbridge.
I can only ask again if that CEO guy has been made aware of all of this..?
Why hasn’t anybody sued this doosh for slander or had him arrested for harassment? Seriously?
Several people have explored suing him for slander, but it doesn’t pass a cost-benefit analysis. Can’t get blood from a turnip, and the lawyer wants to get paid no matter what.
It looks as if Amazon aren’t convinced that the reviews of Mr Pacione’s work are unreasonable.
And here we see one of Mr Pacione’s own reviews on Amazon.

Good find. Naturally, his typo-riddled review has nothing to do with the movie, and everything to do with himself.
Nicky’s not suing for IP theft, so maybe he’s ticked off that he missed out on being hired as a consultant during production? I haven’t seen the movie, but I gather it’s the sort of campy, cheesy B-movie that, if it had been filmed 50+ years ago, would be a candidate for an episode of Svengoolie.
Doesn’t that movie actually use the premise of Pet Semetary?
