Edit: I archived that two years ago. The link is still live with his number on it yet his license has indeed expired:

Ooooh, is that a fax number I spy with my little eye?

I love that he is bossing around Mike Glyer and demanding a retraction. What I wouldn't give for Mike to reply, "Not gonna happen, FATSO"
I know expecting professionalism or understanding of same is foreign to our featured porcine dolt but what will likely actually happen is: Nothing. Publicly anyways. He'll get ghosted, maybe a snide joke here or there on social media from Mike or people around him.

And behind the scenes, the dialogue will continue about "Ugh, Patrick Tomlinson? That guy?" that multiple authors and people in the industry have alluded to already going on. Publishers, editors, convention promoters, other authors and people all up and down the chain now have the opinion that Patrick S. Tomlinson ranges from either a ranting asshole who draws a ton of heat you don't want or a complete schizo lunatic who will turn on you on a dime and cost you money. Who out there wants ANY of this in their company? Remember his successful period? He was promoting on podcasts and blogs. Who wants his stink on them now?

Angry Robot doesn't. He met with them. Where's the Tiny Tim Takes Space Manhattan announcement? He wasn't photographed doing nearly ANYTHING else at Worldcon. The word is out. Half a dozen ball washers like Weimer the Kid Slimer ain't gonna make up for an industry that talks.

Him calling the recycle bin thing “book burning” is a great example of performative fake ally Pat.

He’s latching onto the the current “thing” and hijacking peoples feelings against it to benefit him. His books aren’t being thrown out because of their content, but because he’s a massive cunt and was an asshole to someone.

But rather than accept he did anything wrong he just acts like he’s a victim being silenced for nefarious reasons.

They deleted my comments from the File770 website, this is basically like throwing me and my family in an Auschwitz gas chamber.

I will make this comparison 200 times in the next week.

Looks like Pat is on the Pay No Mind list. I wonder if he'll get that retraction from Mike Glyer?

The new SFWA regime has been infiltrated by Nazi extremists 1/19.

Is it usually good when the media covering your industry all turn on you?
