My Rant Condensed or NICKY EXPLAIN YOURSELF!

Today after reading Nicky's crap on Associated Content, I had written up a piece myself quoting various parts of it and countering them. I then realized that was what Rusty did and I didn't want to step on anyone's toes, so even though blogspot saves what you type automatically every few minutes I won't post it.

By the way since typing and abandoning my little piece Rusty has done so here.

So rather than tread into anyone else's territory I will sum up the point of my piece with the overall question I was asking in it: How many times did Nicky describe actions perpetrated by ValentineVegan? And why didn't he mention either that alt or the person who admitted to being behind it?

Looking again I see Rusty already covered that point and with less words than me. In mine I countered all of Nicky's complaints with examples of someone doing them, which were quotes already used on here, which would have been a lot more wordy than mine.

Nicky: I know you read this blog. See the comments section below? I, unlike you, am not set-up to see the IP addresses of those who post here (not like we need it since everyone knows where you live) so I challenge you to finally say in public why you don't mention Dagstine anymore and why you let him off the hook. If you bought his excuse that you scared him and made him cry, and that he did the horrible things he did to "get in your head" instead of just talking to you, then you really do deserve the government's dime because you really don't have any brains.

Instead you focus other people who, all of them combined, haven't done as much to you as VV did. It's almost like you are trying to distract everyone away from ValentineVegan and what Larry did so you don't have to explain why you are letting him get away with what he did.

Speak up Nicky. I'm giving you the chance to right here on this page. I, unlike you, won't censor what you say either. Explain to all of us what the deal is with you and Lawrence.

Two Weeks Left,,,

Until Nickolaus Pacione Day! August 25th!

That's when kids get their Valentine Vegan sticks and beat the Nicky Pinata!

But since the kids have ValentineVegan sticks, it's not beating a pinata, it's called "tapping into the mind of NP for answers "candy!

- Lawrence Dagstine on 7/26/2007 , refering to Nickolaus Pacione, in a message to Janrae Frank found here

"I have no time for this immature rhetoric."

THANK YOU Rusty Nail!

Ladies and gentlemen, you saw Lawrence admit, multiple times, that he was ValentineVegan. Don't give him any credit for coming clean he had to when Nicky accidentally did by posting his IP address.

You read all of the emails he sent Nicky full of threats to him and his family that included extortion and physical threats.

You even saw him threaten Nicky multiple times, just like he has threatened Rusty Nail and others.

On a side note you also saw that he admitted to driving to Rusty Nail's home and parking in front of her house, where he sat and watched her.

Knowing all of this, knowing that he was behind that alt the entire time, knowing that, here is something he posted over at Shocklines that Matt deleted and Rusty Nail was awesome enough to capture. For those that don't know what this is about, Dagstine actually made a point to post this on Shocklines and said the following:

I'm trying folks to keep these threads short, but I must discet!

I have no time for this immature rhetoric.

I counted 15 emails he sent Nicky harrassing him, 16 if you include the email Nicky posted in An Eye In Shadows, and there may be more. Even if not that's 16 emails he sent. He had time apparently for immature rhetoric.

Keep stirring shit for publicity on your own books and Nickolaus Pacione
melodrama, and I will call the New York State Attorney General’s Office first
thing Monday morning and have you pulled in for questioning faster than a dog
can sniff his own ass,

HE was stirring the shit for publicity. HE was the epitome of Nickolaus Pacione drama, sending 16 harrassing emails. HE DID THAT, and here he is going on about how horrible it is and *gasp* how HE is going to call the Attorney General's office because of it! HE, who was guilty of that very crime, was upset over being accused of it, and threatening to tie up the legal system KNOWING THE ENTIRE TIME IT WAS TRUE AND HE WAS BEHIND IT!

Oh but that wasn't enough. While he was ValentineVegan he went out of his way to drop as many names as he could, including Enck, all Nicky's foes, to add to Nicky's paranoia that all of those people were behind it.

and have EVERYBODY investigated: Karen Koehler, Rusty Nail, Janrae Frank —
including myself, with no worries whatsoever.

Again folks, it was him the entire time. See the people he mentioned? All enemies of Nicky and himself. All women, all mentioned when he was using the alias ValentineVegan. See how he mentioned himself? Well he knew if he were to really have done that, and they actually cared enough to investigate, he'd be caught. Another empty legal threat. Remember that next time he threatens you.

You are the culprit again, as always, starting trouble between other parties,
just like you did with a certain zombie author on previous occasions. It was all
you.

HE is the culprit again? How many months did he drive Nicky crazier by playing on his fears that people were out to get him? See the "certain zombie author"? Remember how ValentineVegan signed one of his emails "Hail Saten"? "It was all you" he said. On Matt's board, Matt who he gushes is a sweetheart, Matt who looks after him and defends him, he said all of those blatent lies on his board. And he said all of this assuming he'd be able to get away with ValentineVegan he never planned on letting people know the truth.

In what can only be called ironic, the very person he was tormenting outted him, if by accident, and actually won! Well he lost because he befriended him again.

The New York Police Department has been keeping survellaince on Rusty and you as of late (among others), and they found this little tidbit from some site called
“Deviant Art”.

I know it's against the law to lie to the police, but is it against the law to lie about the police?

And why would they be keeping survellaince on Rusty Nail? The only survellaince kept on Rusty Nail was Dagstine himself, who drove many miles to stalk her.

In Italics below (from what the detective provided me; http://www.exposethetard.blogspot.com/,
and exposethetard.deviantart.com):

And that's where he threatened me. He had already tried making Nicky believe as ValentineVegan that I was behind it. This "person" who didn't have time for "immature rhetoric". You fucked with too many people Larry, and one of them went and compiled all of your lies together all at once so people can see them side by side.

In closing,

Taken from Janrae Frank's blog

Ms. Frank, I just emailed Eric Enck. I told him to come visit your fake, libelous, doctored blog. I hope you don't mind.

Posted 7/27/2007 1:19 AM by DagstineLB - reply

Let us start with the obvious.

your fake, libelous, doctored blog.

Fake. Libelous. So while he was getting numerous people mixed up in the ValentineVegan fiasco, he had the nerve to accuse someone else of being fake and libelous?

Quote from: Amanda Micallef on May 10, 2008, 08:34:18 PM

So you're admitting that you're VV, but you claim on Shocklines that you aren't?

I ask again. Do you have some sort of learning disability?

No, not one bit. Having a little fun. Chiming in, that's all.

See that? He had admitted to being ValentineVegan, but at that point he had actually gone on Shocklines and denied it, after admitting he was. He probably hoped that the general population on Shocklines hadn't seen his admission, and probably counted on Matt, the Shocklines moderator, to delete anyone pointing that out. He did, which is why I cannot link to the thread in question.

In that same thread, he strongly suggested physical violence towards a woman who pointed out his real life creepiness:

From New York, Amanda? I'll be at a couple of more of those readings later on in the year... perhaps we'll bump into each other. You'll get to see what I'm like in person.

He had suggested in the same thread physical threats against two other people, but this one stood out as a threat against a woman.

In that same thread, when asked about a claim he made that he was going to be featured in Asimov's, a claim later found to be false, his response was

What do you mean, Asimov's? Come on, everybody knows I was messing around with that one. And with most higher paying SF and horror magazines in a ghetto right now and going on hiatus left and right?

Messing around. That's what all the stalking, and lying, and threats, and harrassment under ValentineVegan was, messing around.

He also writes off VV in the same manor, in that thread, by saying

Nick KNOWS I was VV, Scotty.

So you see, everything he did is ok because he was just messing around and he admitted it. As to why Pacione accepts this and is friends with him again, I don't get that at all. Nor do I understand Matt befriending him. Maybe he didn't know the extent of what he did as VV. Maybe he does now. Will it matter?

Back to the most hilarious and bizzare ass kissing I've seen ever

again from Lawrence's blog
**SMALL NOTE: I would learn much later that this fit was due to a book called HOUSE OF SPIDERS 3. It was carried on Shocklines. As for me, I really have nothing against this author.

Right he has nothing against Nicky. He was just messing around.

again from Lawrence's blog
Nick brought up things to me again… Things I should NOT have heard… Then he sent emails, and if you toss our 2005 talks into the mix, he had now showed me concrete evidence of things I wish my eyes had never seen. Seriously, I was left disturbed. I was in denial at first, of course. But I felt disappointed; I actually cried.

Wow! This explains it all! The reason Lawrence took on the alt ValentineVegan and harrassed Nicky in such a ruthless way was because he made him cry!

I'm almost done folks

again from Lawrence's blog
My question is why did Nick Pacione NOT print it in the book? Why didn’t he go to press with it? Why, in the end, change everybody’s names into “code names”? Was it because, deep down, he did have some small ounce of… Wait for it… Morals? Hell if I know. Because what he showed me personally in the beginning of it all could have brought down a hierarchy! Yet when An Eye in Shadows premiered, it focused mainly on his high school years and youth.

Maybe because he recieved emails like this one from Lawrence Dagstine whose exact words were

So do yourself a favor and take your book down, edit keene out -completely! then, with our permission you can put it back up 'bout your high school glory days. take keene out. last warning!
--Legion; we are many!!"

The very person who created the blog yesterday claiming that Nicky showed him things he wished he had never seen, and made him cry, who is lauding An Eye in Shadows, said

so, here's the ultimatum, pacione. you can either take the book down and destroy it forever. apologize to TODP. give up writing non-fiction forever, or you can keep the book up at cafepress and we sue you successfuly for the royalties AND take over Tabloid Purposes 5.

and

"such as send 13,145 unwanted yet pirated copies of Nicky Pacione's non-fiction scalding bucket of piss, scat, shit, doo doo, or urine to every writer of every level of genre. you got it, greasy, mass communication and mass emails. we did this by the book, just like you did your thing with your book. now you will lose sales, people will open their emails and laugh at you, perhaps even press delete. but, too late. what's done is done. you have been pirated. And we will keep pirating you. For the next project 13,000 will seem like 26,000. After that 26,000 will turn into 52,000.... After that 100,000."

and

"the end is here for you pacione. you aint doin no signings or gettin your non-fiction book in any bookstores. you're getting beat up instead.

and

"we've just started collaborating and putting together our 'counter book.' (Yeah there is a counter book planned on that counter book -- I plan to take each of you apart systematically.) only we're using your real name, family and friends, histories there, addresses and all. the public needs to know. no, not fag, bitch, cunt, scalding piss, shitwad, stuff like that. we're coming down on your punk ass with 506 pages -- double yours -- using the name Nicky Pacione and Tabloid Terror. Watch your back, son! because there is nothing you can do to stop the counter title now that you've released this libelous piece of shit.

and

so do yourself a favor and take that cafepress version down. now!

In conclusion, Dagstine said in his latest entry that Pacione was kind to him and showed him the evils of the industry. He questioned why he didn't mention names in an Eye in Shadows, and now you all know that during that time, the very person who is gushing about Nicky in his blog right now, was threatening Nicky and his family the entire time.

With friends like him, who needs enemies?

you dumb muther fucker! you will “ learn a valuable

every single book you ever written you wannabe! show

from An Eye In Shadows By Nickolaus A. Pacione

Nicky's harasser had him so upset that he actually quoted one of his emails in his autobiography "An Eye In Shadows". I would post what Nicky commented after this quote, but somehow it segwayed into a former classmate who drew cocks on his artwork being in the porn industry now.

The point is that Nicky is best buds with the person he now knows was valentinevegen, and forgets that alt had upset him so much he quoted him in his beloved tell all book.

Here is something else interesting: Why is Nicky forgiving of Larry, yet continues to blame him and go after him?

Let's look at more of his cowardice

"The interview's done, jerkoff? This ain't the end, you fuckin closet fag! I will undermine you, low-bread, dagstine and your newest supporter 9eric enck and all of your other authors... your tabloid purpose authors will feel it cuz of u.

Hail Saten "

Notice the last line? That was an attempt to make a rather successful author and for of Nicky's appear to be behind the alt. Look at the blog entry that Nicky posted it in and you can see that Lawrence was successful in making Nicky suspect it was someone else. Oh he made a point again of throwing his own name in there,

Did you forget Nicky, just how mad you were?

Yes I am challenging ValentineVegan or ArchaneArchiver to show his face -- and I am challinging that faggot on Xanga to do the same. I don't take lightly to faceless cowards who go around trying to make threats to sabotage any of my projects. So you want to keep threatening me you FUCK.

From Nick's now private MySpace bulletin:

"Everything in italics is this loser valentinevegan@yahoo.com. So if you end up getting an e-mail from him, tell him to burn in hell and those of you who knew me from way back knew I won't back down when I got pushed. This is push comes to shove because he's trying to get to me via my family. He's already tried to stalk one of my cousins.

I am beyond pissed about that and I will take him to hell once I find out who he is. Maybe some of you who have a detective background can do some detective work on this loser because he was the one who started all the plagiarism rumors this man is connected to http://www.xanga.com/Peter_Barnes and the faceless loser who calls himself Otto Bremman. IF you want to give * a piece of your mind go for it -- the fucker caused me to get a lot of spam at two of my submission addresses. They are a pair of yellow journalistic fucks who teamed up with a local to really try to take me to hell. (those of you who know who Kevin_Defeckt is -- that is the bastard they teamed up with.

From his Vampirefreaks account

They are going around stealing pictures to mislead me -- the bastard goes on as valentinevegan on yahoo.com and had harassed me via XANGA when I was on Xanga, and when I got a story accepted in Darkened Horizons the bastard vowed to ruin my name. He has people convinced that I was writing all those hate mails myself when I was publishing some of his hatemail in my non-fiction book.

See? Myself, Rusty Nail, TODP, and dozens of other people weren't the only ones Lawrence had tried to convince people was behind valentinevegan, he had people believing that you, Nicky, were behind it at one point.

From Nicky's deviantart account where he claimed to keep his signing location secret out of fear

Journal Entry: Tue Oct 2, 2007, 9:29 AM I am keeping the location of this signing out of the post for now because I don't want the crew who are putting it together getting harassed just because I am on the bill. I edited the e-mail that was sent to me and those who want to send this asshole some haite mail -- just look at the email address in the from area.

Nicky at one point had even accepted that he was someone out to fuck with him. Why then did he accept him back into his loving arms?

There's more, but I'll save it for Part 3 coming sooner than you think.

With Friends Like Him... or "Expose The Tard's Wall Of Text!"

Not long ago someone pointed out to me that an obnoxious asshole threatened me on Shocklines with the law. This person said the law was onto me and would deal with me soon. Why? Because someone suggested he was Expose The Tard, that someone turned out to be him, and in an attempt to make himself look like a good guy on Shocklines he told people he called the cops on me for making him look bad. I am serious.

I've ignored this ass. My goal is to get out information I have regarding someone else, and this pathetic attention whore always seemed to me that he was willing to jump in the middle of the firefight so that people would notice him.

But I never forgot that he threatened me with the law, and today, I cash that chip in.

Please note: The following is very long, some may say tl;dr, but as I post all of the emails from ValentineVegan please keep in mind you know who it is now as you read what he says. It gets better towards the end and if you wish to skip most of this, I implore you to not miss the last quarter of this entry.

I do not have the Shocklines post where he admitted he was Valentinevegan, but as Rusty Nail pointed out (from a link found here) he said this

Now, mind you, I was hoping that the information he shared was false, that it was a joke and it had been doctored. Actually, I’d hoped that the opposing side was the good guys (I was rooting for them secretly). After tapping into the mind of NP for answers, and going under the name Valentine Vegen, I came to the conclusion that both sides shared an EQUAL hatred. Equal anger. Equal mistrust. I couldn’t tell the two apart. And it seemed Matt Schwartz – a very kind man who, believe me, is the HEART and SPIRIT behind horror – also shared a similar beef.

Knowing officially he was ValentineVegan, lets look at what he said as that alternate id. I am going to use bold letters to point out the more disturbing aspects of this person's "experiment".

As you read his threats, remember that he also admitted to driving to and sitting in front of Rusty Nail's house, which is considered stalking.

another blogger entry? haven't you learned anything greasy? weve already handed your friends enck and dagstine their asses on a platter, and now were gunning for you. you're our little bitch. our plaything. we know where you live. defeckt knows where you live, too. you know what we can do. go out of that dusty cobwebbed room, go upstairs and look at the window across the yard. yeah, the pickup. watch the lights flash three times when you go to the window. we are always watching. we know what you and the pedophile's masterplan is too, were not stupid, and we dont take lightly to ultimatums. so keep writing posts marked Fucker and making bold claims about us. in your case tabloid purposes five will not debut because we are getting an injunction and ceasing publication before it even starts. papers have been served and phone calls have been made to lulu. lake fossil press will be shut down effective immediately! you hereby quit writing and forfeit publishing rights to brian keene and karen koehler enterprises. susan taylor and dan fox of the other dark place will take over ownership of the tabloid purposes trademark, and do as they so fit with it either on or off of todp, or respectively give the trademark name to the community to play around with as such. when were done with you the only thing you will be able to retain is your pathetic name ---- and, if you're lucky, your shirt! hold on, nappy!

The Tragedies of Publishing ..

Summary:
- He threatened Nicky by telling him he knew where he lives.
- He claims to be in front of Nicky's house watching him, just as he did with Rusty.
- Accused him of hanging out with a pedophile.
- Fake legal threats.
- Ordered him to give up his company and trademark.
- Like a coward, made a point of saying Nicky had to sign over what he had, then named people to make it look as if they and/or theotherdarkplace were behind it.

too late the terrorists have won. so start eating the peanuts nancyboy.

you know, when the twenty-three of us (yes, we gained two more members since christmas), formed this regime we never thought we'd see the day where we'd "expose" pictures of your mother and shirley. if you only had had the pics we have right now...

...give up writing, quit lake fossil press, turn over tabloid purposes, the pictures are yours.

Valentino Career Fineato

Summary:
- Brought his family into it.
- Claimed to have pictures of his mother and grandmother.
- Threatened him again to give up writing and then he would turn over the pictures, which is extortion and against the law.

What a nice friend.

From: Valentinevegen@yahoo.com

GAME OVER - YOU HAVE UNTIL VALENTINE"S DAY OR ELSE!!

Valentine....

Summary:
- Well it's short and vague but it's a threat, and at this point Nicky had posted three letters from - Lawrence, so regardless of whether or not he posted every letter he recived from him, this is at least the third time he chose to harrass him anonymously and threaten him in the process.

....Valentinevegen@yahoo.com

...then off to expose the tard and rusty with momma and shirley-poo it is... nighty night greasy ..

Summary:
- Again he mentions Nicky's family, one by name, and threatens them.
- Like a coward, he mentions my name to try and convince Nicky I was ValentineVegan. Real brave.

http://nickolauspacione.blogspot.com/2007/12/another-one-of-my-fans.html

"hey cocksock, we're sick of shirley pickin up the phone. answer your fuckin phone! what are u afraid of? your grandmother is a sweet ol' lady, but it's YOU we want to talk to. we just wanna have a few words, greasy. come outside. you dont think we let this slide, do you?

and whats this! we see you got published again. darkened horizons...tsk, tsk... spreadin the taint..... i guess we'll have to destroy that publication and its authors reputations. all because of you. or better yet, maybe we should pirate it; friends of yours are friends of ours on the inside, did you know that? damnation observes no one, you fuckin plagiarist pig! yours will be the first story we pirate from this collection.

were comin pachone. so shut 'em down!

signed,
-A Holiday Valentine"

Summary
- Lawrence admits to prank calling Nicky's house. They had to change that number which costs money, do you think he offered to pay for that?
- Again brought his grandmother into it, by name.
- Gave the impression they wanted him to come outside and meet with them, then indicated they wouldn't "let it slide". That is a threat, which is against the law, in case you didn't know.
- Threatening to destroy author's reputations because he was featured in Darkened Horizons. I wonder how that magazine and it's authors feel about that. Call me wrong, but threatening to libel people using extortion is two crimes in of itself, isn't it?
- "yours will be the first story we pirate from this collection" so not only is he threatening to pirate Nicky's story, he says his story will be the first from "this collection", indicating he plans to pirate every story in it. Again, does Darkened Horizons know this?

"...why?
because we said so. and we can. and we will. we've reported you to youtube.

pull another stunt like this, greasy, and we shut you down for good. then you wonder why the 20 of us who use this handle keep wannabes like you back and bring in our own or who we prefer.

you have no class. you can't write. you copy from other authors. you're a fake. a fraud.

Summary:
- More extortion threats, this time telling him to not only stop making youtube videos, but that they- excuse me he was trying to get that account shut down.
- Accused Nicky of plaguerizing, which he hates.

Summary:
- That one looks like it was written by Nicky, but if not, it's a threat or admission if you will to urinate on and burn his books, which eventually happened.

http://nickolauspacione.blogspot.com/2007/10/when-hell-freezes-over.html

"greasy, you will give in to us. this is not bullying or coercing. this is legal. spam is illegal. im sending you a letter, so listen the fuck up. we are fully within our rights to stomp on your rights. the same way you can use this freedom of speech and press spiel so can we. i'm sick of your sarcasm, pacione! and i'm gettin fed up. why do you think we pirated the book. and we'll pirate the next one, and every single one previous to that. we'll pirate all your work and you have no creative licensing, no say whatsoever. no copyright control because you yourself abused it. so, here's the ultimatum, pacione. you can either take the book down and destroy it forever. apologize to TODP. give up writing non-fiction forever, or you can keep the book up at cafepress and we sue you successfuly for the royalties AND take over Tabloid Purposes 5. that's right, stinky. we'll own you, your house, and the tabloid purposes trademark from series 5 on! my dogs are already on this, they've been getting the paperwork drawn up. why do you think it's so quiet round these parts. dont draw up any of the guidelines buttmunch, because it will be a waste of paper. we will make up new guidelines for tabloid purposes with new staff and new authors. what we're sayin greasy is run your publishing outfit!
--Valentine vegen"

Summary
- Threatened to "stomp on his rights"
- Admitted to pirating a book
- Threatened to pirate others
- Used extortion and bully tactics to scare him from writing
- Once again mentioned someone else, again TODP, like a coward to make it appear as if they were the ones behind it
- Threatened to sue, again, as he still does to this day, and take his money from him
- Claimed to have paperwork drawn up, like he threatened me, Rusty Nail, and others.
- Threaten to take over Nicky's project

Summary:
- Threatened a member of his family, specifically his cousin, TWICE

"the decision has been made, and what better day than today. the day is coming where books shall be burned in large numbers. works pirated in mass quantities; it's already started. group efforts made to annihilate the opposition. he wants to go live, hey, so can we. when were done he'll wanna crawl back under that rock though. the pacione family is going to be VERY embarrassed. Knock, knock, knock…"who is it" grammy pacione, we’re here for your son. open up! we just want to take him for a stroll. maybe tie him to a tree, smear doody over his face, shave his head. we know he’s in there….please tell him to come outside, mammy pacione.
all of the pirated work will belong to pacione. all of the authors who pay dearly will be his cronies. that goes for his butt buddy across the atlantic too. and that shitbag from deviat art for his crude joke. we cant let that one slide. but first nickypoop. in the end, he'll be forced to tow the line for the pussy he is and he’ll eat the shit out of the ass of the big elephant. elephants have been known to stomp on mice. yes sirree, greasy wont have a choice. do you like peanuts pacione? no, really, do you fuckin eat peanuts…because before the month is over you'll be eatin grade A mass marketed nuts. and you're going to enjoy it too."

Summary:
- Threatened back then to burn books, which has since happened (note: I have no idea who did those and am not saying he did, but he did say it would happen, and it did)
- Threatened to pirate books, then claimed it had "already started" suggesting he had already done it
- Mentioned his family and threatened to embarrass them
- Threatened to go to his house, mentioned his grandmother by name then threatened to

*take him for a stroll
*tie him to a tree
*smear doody over his face
*shave his head.

- Again mentioned his mother
- Threatened that all of his "cronies" would "pay dearly"
- Claimed the same thing would happen to a cronie of Nick's from across the Atlantic, and that author was not only a homosexual but Nicky's homosexual partner

"such as send 13,145 unwanted yet pirated copies of Nicky Pacione's non-fiction scalding bucket of piss, scat, shit, doo doo, or urine to every writer of every level of genre. you got it, greasy, mass communication and mass emails. we did this by the book, just like you did your thing with your book. now you will lose sales, people will open their emails and laugh at you, perhaps even press delete. but, too late. what's done is done. you have been pirated. And we will keep pirating you. For the next project 13,000 will seem like 26,000. After that 26,000 will turn into 52,000.... After that 100,000." -- valentinevegen@yahoo.com

Summary:
- Threatened to mass email pirated copies of Nicky's book to 13,145 people
- Admitted to already doing it
- Bragged that now he would "lose sales"
- Admitted that he had been pirated, indicating it had already happened with the intent of making him lose sales
- Threatened to continue to pirate him
- Threatened that the amount of people recieving his pirated works would reach 100,000

"the end is here for you pacione. you aint doin no signings or gettin your non-fiction book in any bookstores. you're getting beat up instead. we're in the process of "things", you might say. Wayyyy beyond book burnings but that's still an idea. such as pirating and distributing EVERY piece of literature you have ever written. Authors den, everythign! its already been done extensively with your hateful autobiography, and now we will pirate it all and a certain demented man's family will become involved in the crossfire. the phone calls come for gramma yet, nicky? you did this to yourself nickypoo, and now the Paciones must pay. that's all there is to it.
Philbin knew to flee shocklines as soon as he heard your book was coming out and that the storm was coming. oh, and it aint no F5 either. dagstine turned up evidence at the Rusty Nail, because even he knows he wants no part of your malignant swill. same goes for mr. enck. And your buddies with the original tabloid purposes will be taken care of in due time, but you first. oh, and that other malicious friend of yours with writer's cafe and deviantart? He will REALLY get what's coming to him. but you first nicky. this is a storm you will want to take cover from. were sorta like the CIA, nicky, but call us the HIA. that's how good we are at doing what we do. and we're far from finished yet."

Summary:
- Told him the "end was near"
- Indicated that their actions would keep him from book signings or getting his books in stores
- Threatened him with physical violence and saying he would get "beat up"
- Again threatened to pirate his books
- Again admitted they had already done that
- Threatened his family. AGAIN
- Asked, thereby admitting to and suggesting he was behind, harrassing calls to his grandmother
- Threatened his family, AGAIN, claiming they "must pay"
- Mentioned Philbin, again, and claimed he was distancing himself from Shocklines because of Nicky
- Mentioned his own name and admitted that he, as Dagstine, had "turned up evidence at the Rusty Nail"

Stop for a second: Dagstine constantly badmouths Rusty Nail. He has threatened numerous times, as he did as ValentineVegan, to bring legal action against her blog. He claims to have driven to her house and stalked her. He claims that he is joining others in suing her. And yet right here, in his own words, he admits to working with her to go against Nicky. When I say working with her I don't mean she actually got together with him, I mean he posted on her site, badmouthing someone else, Nicky, and at that time not only didn't have a problem with her or the blog he joined in himself, making himself just as guilty.

Back to summary

- THREATENED authors who have appeared in Tabloid Purposes

"dear diary:

we cannot let this sick unstable man write that book, so i propose we pool our resources and our money together and write a little book of our own. the book will be fiction, based off non-fiction events, and take place in Morris, IL. the book will be about a man writing a book! yes, the main character is mental and happens to be writing a book and trying to railroad careers, but at the end of our book --- better written, too --- he goes nuts and the fiction becomes a tragedy in the likeness of Shakesspeare. yes, diary, you see in this book, he is the pawn."
-- valentinevegen

Summary:
Threatens to write a libelous counter book to "An Eye In Shadows" again.

Summary of this really long blog entry:

He tried to play it off as a joke. He tried to pretend he was ValentineVegan to "tap into his mind for answers". So, to tap into someone's mind for answers, he had to anonymously threaten Nickolaus, his family, his friends, his career, his home, his reputation, his associates, repeatedly? In order to tap into his mind he had to threaten him and his loved ones with violence?

He had to make harrassing calls to his grandmother's home?

Does that sound like the actions of a sane man? Does the above appear to be the words of a friend?

How could Nicky forget those emails and what they said? How can he go back to calling him a friend? For that matter how can Mike?

"I came to the conclusion that both sides shared an EQUAL hatred. Equal anger. Equal mistrust. I couldn’t tell the two apart."

No asshole you played both sides and in the process became worse than either side.

And a note to anyone that has or will recieve legal threats from Lawrence: The above shows that he does it all the time, is lying about what he can, is or will do, and only says it as a threat with nothing behind it.
