I could be reading this wrong, but it seems like Nicky is using his usual charm to get Lulu to take him back.

3:01 PM (4 minutes ago)to Lulu.com, me
What’s wrong don’t like when questions are truthful? You think like a ten year old when you go around hiding behind a fake ass name and cartoons that go vilifying me when you filed a DMCA with a fake name. Lulu.com you know when filing a DMCA notice that you use a given name (full legal name.) I was thrown off on a lie as you fucking assholes are very easy manipulated by trolls and you realize the only way you can stop me is have a gun in your hand when the truth is being told; Freedom of Speech trumps “consumer rights;” you live in the country and like me you’re governed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. You act like the Bill of Rights don’t apply to you and I am just using licenses that you are known to design to throw everything back at you. The fact is that astinkycat@gmail.com tried to get bootleg copies of my catalog and Brian Keene went for my SSN and the only people with that information was Lulu.com as he tried to manipulate me into getting my entire catalog back.
Lulu.com I am in touch with your former staff members as they are cool with me as they left about a year before this fucked ring circus went down as you noticed the nice little middle finger tweet I did as Rachel is gunning for me with anything with my byline. What would you do if you have publisher’s who legally publish my work on lulu.com, “Dear user, this is questionable content it came to our attention you had published a banned user.” Is that the letter you will send to every publisher out there who is to publish me? I am coming to the defense of every author who worked with Lulu.com and published me over the years with this statement; if you banned them you might as well had done what they did to H. P. Lovecraft’s work as you might be pulling Hemingway from the bookshelves, Rod Serling and what not because you have titles published that have Fuck in the title. They might have “fuck you” in the copyright page too. Don’t you even have this too as you have an author who has “fuck” as a first name and a last name. I guess you singled out Legend Keeper because any old schmuck on the street. So you really think swearing is an issue on Lulu.com then why do you have books where the authors have “fuck” in their names. The first chapter of that entire book is a paragraph where it consisted of “Fuck” pasted many times in the goddamn thing. Hell you do have a title on there titled CUNT as well so you think banning me is going to stop anything when you realize I told the truth; how you go around kicking someone off who had been there for ten years and you realize I have nearly 600 connections on Linkedin.com and Legend Keeper the lessons within that novella a man with courage is the majority.
I know how to turn my Lulu.com titles into CreateSpace.com ones as I did manage to deconstruct a lot of my titles but the namesake project I had to do major surgery on the book to fix key aspects of this project. CreateSpace.com knows all about what I pulled on you to get everything back and think about what if another like me came along and lives in North Carolina; equally as explosive and will kick a door in the office knowing what they saw happen was injustice. Legend Keeper looks like compliments a comic book called Stages of Death.
Somehow, somewhere, in time and space, Nickolaus learned that babbling like an idiot, and tossing in a threat or two gets him what he wants. Having a hissy-fit with his mom or granny might have worked, but in the real world … not so much.
FWIW, he got around to paying Jet for his VF account. Priorities. He pays $50 for a hoodie, and additional for a sub to VampireFreaks before he pays ComEd. Personally, I’d be more interested in paying my electric bill than a “membership” for some website. Priorities.
Here’s his publicy posted version:

Nicky must be getting worried that createspace is about to get sick of his psychotic bullshit and threats and are about to kick his ass off their site. Hey nicky freedom of speech just means you have the right to say it it doesn’t mean it won’t keep people from kicking you off their website for being an asshole with all the charm of montezuma’s revenge!
As I read the message boards at CreateSpace, he’s the Rodney Dangerfield of CreateSpace Elder Statesmen, can’t get no respect.
Wait. CreateSpace let him back on their message board? He’d gotten himself kicked off it in pretty short order, iirc.
That was past tense “read” (phonetic red) not present tense. Sorry for the scare. It’s been awhile since I visited those discussion boards, but he got such bad responses.
He always does. Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
Hahaha!
Hilarious that nicky thinks that this kind of behaviour will convince anyone to publish him, EVER!
Hahahaha!
You’d think Lulu knocked him up or something…the way he can’t move past that “relationship.” It’s been what…over a year?
That crazy email should be enough for Morris, IL to order a welfare check on his mental health. Then again it is Mayberry there.
He still occasionally howls at me for “getting him kicked off Lulu” even though I have repeatedly told him it was a group effort. I *think* he’s blaming Brian and Kealan solely now, even though he has no proof either of them were even involved.
How long before he gets in VF jail for violating Terms of Service? 10…9…8… Here’s Nick. Here’s his money. Toilet, flush, gurgle.
I think one of the big issues Lulu had was not his use of doity woids but the fact he directed personal obscene insults at recognizable people.
Pacione got what files Lulu could find returned, not because he ranted at a closed office over the 4th of July weekend and pulled the Obama-burns-Constitution painting, but because, when the office reopened after the holiday, they wanted rid of him. Ranting at Lulu now to take him back? That document dump like an ex-girlfriend leaving your stuff at the curb after a final fight. He’s an idiot to expect to go back, and Lulu would be an idiot to take him back.
BTW when I signed up at Lulu when I bought a book PDF, I kept a copy of their complete terms of service. If you send them a book to be printed, they do not serve as an archive for your files after it is printed. You are responsible for your original file backup and archive; as a courtesy if necessary they will search their backup media, but it is recycled periodically and they don’t guarantee they’ll have anything. NAP should be thankful he got back what Lulu could find, but no he’s Jumpin’ Mad Nick, he’s a jackass’ ass.
The fact Nicky is too stupid to keep personal back ups of his work is just another sign of how unprofessional he is. Some techno god there!
He can blow $50 on a sweatshirt, but somehow can’t come up with $4-5 for a brand new 32GB thumb drive, delivered, from MacMall or one of the many other high volume computer equipment vendors on eBay. If his laptop can’t handle the faster USB3 speeds, it’ll still take them and run at USB2 speed, which doesn’t matter for relatively small document files. He wouldn’t even have to leave the house to go to WalMart or Staples or Best Buy, and all those eBay vendors ship the same or next day. That’s how I get my thumb drives and memory cards for my cameras. It’s cheap, and it’s fast.
Every computer class I took drilled into me ‘back up and save EVERYTHING and often’. Now I have 2 thumb drives, and am thankful to have them!
I learned to program in Fortran in college (engineering major), but ended up assembling my first employer’s first PC (dual floppy drive) from a box of shrink-wrapped parts, using a screwdriver borrowed from office services to seat the motherboard in place, etc., then had to teach myself to use it. Fortunately, that experience served me well a decade later, when it came to installing SCSI cards, network cards, and drivers for peripherals. I wasn’t afraid to crack open the box and operate on it.
People used to stop by my office to ask why they couldn’t print something. “Did you turn the printer on?” “No, I have to do that?” “If you want to watch TV, what do you do?” “Oh, okay, got it.”
Nobody ever told me “save your shit, and back it up,” but that was simple common sense for files that mattered. I don’t back up everything, because some things I simply don’t care about if they go bye-bye, but anything that matters ends up on a thumb drive or my external HD (or both), in addition to the internal HD.
Fortran! That takes me back. We also learned COBOL.
I took a COBOL class too, but was never any good at it.
With his crowdfunding appeals for electric bills and for book signing tour goodies active and open, Nickolaus Pacione went and spendt money on renewing his Vampire Freaks membership. And I read that he earned a 72-hour VF suspension off the bat? Am I misinformed? Can such things be?
I should reflect solemnly that there but for the grace of God might go I.
But the Schadenfreude gets in the way.
I had my breakfast early with cocoa instead of coffee. I’m going back to sleep, and hope dawn will bring a brighter day.
Karma’s my favorite bitch, but her little sister Schadenfreude’s a close second. 😉
I sometimes think of Schadenfreude as the 8th Deadly Sin, after Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath and Sloth. “Forgive me Father, for I have sinned ….”
The penance for Schadenfreude is charitable thoughts. I had so hoped that NAP had seen the error of his ways, repented, reformed and resolved to sin no more. (Look, up in the sky, is that a flying pig?)
A close run for 8th Deadly Sin is talking in the theatre.
But, but … there’s nothing quite as satisfying as watching someone who blows a red light, or lane weaves without signaling while doing 20 over the limit get pulled over half a mile up the road. Sure, it’s passive-aggressive, but it works for me. “Forgive me father, for I have sinned …” indeed. Hey, as long as the other party gets his or her comeuppance, I’m cool with it. St. Peter’s more likely to nail me for something else, anyway.
or blows past you like you’re standing still on the highway and 10 minutes later you’re sitting right beside them at the first red light going into town. Yep being a speed demon saved you 2 whole seconds! 😀
This afternoon and evening Pacione got in trouble at Wikipedia with a robot editor (ClueBot NG) and a couple of administrators (NawlinWiki and Huon) over his vandalism of the Kealan Patrick Burke article and spamming Ethereal Gazette at the Creative nonfiction article, using his IP 73.8.34.95 and a new account Unclefossil720. The administrators blocked (more restrictive than banned) his accounts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Unclefossil720&oldid=685784186
OMG, that is beautiful.
Also, that Unclefossil720 handle seems to be fairly new, inasmuch as he’s now using it for email. His old email handle used to be plain old Unclefossil-at-wherever.
Thanks for alerting me to this (and his earlier vandalism of my Shelfari page). I wouldn’t have known about it otherwise. Much appreciated!
Hey Keelan, cool cover on NYAM. Nice work
Thank you sir!
After all the dissing he did of Lulu in his createspace About the Author blurbs, etc., he better not foul his nest at createspace, for Lulu would be Cucu to take him back. Surely he has learned his lesson and will play nice at createspace, right?
