I replied to a SFWA tweet soliciting donations something to the effect of “maybe if you didn’t waste 100k of members dues on Patrick Tomlinsons frivolous lawsuits you wouldn’t need to beg, aren’t you supposed to be fighting for authors royalties after Disney?” And they blocked me and hid it within minutes

Oh that bothers them? Ill be sure not to do that as well. Who runs SFWA now (before it was mary robinette*, but she left right? what's the twitter of whoever runs it now?)

*NOTE to dan mullen: thie post is not making fun of mary robinette (woman). That was merely a reference. Please do not be alarmed.

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF NON-PARTY SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY WRITERS OF AMERICA, INC.?S MOTION TO QUASH PETITIONER.... snore...
It would be a violation of due process for a non-party like SFWA to be compelled to disclose sensitive and confidential information about its members and inner workings to some unknown person – if indeed Petitioner is even a real person.

There shouldn't be any "sensitive" or "confidential" information that Quasi doesn't already have going between Pat and his union, and of course you have to disclose your "inner workings" - you're larping as a tax-free charity, you bastards.

You want privacy, pay fucking taxes.

Petitioner could engage in a judgment debtor’s examination of Mr. Tomlinson.
I believe your member (definition: noun "penis") has been somewhat resistant to that idea, so blame him. It might also be easier for Quasi to get some of his income information out of the SFWA than Pat, given that SFWA is in California where the judgement was made.

Counsel for SFWA spent over seven (7) hours reviewing the record and preparing this Motion to Quash. Counsel for SFWA estimates spending at least an additional three (3) hours reviewing Petitioner’s Opposition, filing a Reply (if needed), and preparing for and participating in the hearing on this Motion. In total, counsel for SFWA estimates spending at least ten (10) hours seeing this Motion to completion. Sohn Decl. ¶ 9. Counsel for SFWA estimates SFWA will incur more than $6,000 in attorney’s fees and costs in connection with this Motion.

They've spent $6k to fight handing over Pat's application for SFWA membership; while also claiming to the IRS that their senior staff all volunteer their time for free.

Something fucking stinks.

EDIT: That's 60 members' worth of dues, just to hide Pat's membership application and the receipts for the $100 he's paid every year. If they didn't fund him, that really fucking stinks; and if they did, they really, really want to cover it up.

Be amazing if this scandal makes the members all quit and the SFWA dies thanks to Pat. Mary three names stepped down after they funded this joke suit, they want this to go away and not have anyone asking questions about where their money went.

They pay for this shit, it's literally a scam but they need it to advertise themselves.

The thing is, you don't actually fucking put it in a legal court document, whoever has to read this is probably laughing their ass off, it's the amateur hour.
So you're saying that the "Super Lawyer" title is a delusion that he needs in order to keep functioning?

"Hello your honor, the reason for this subpoena? Well per my Client and I quote..."Yes, file it! My members need ribs. Lots of ribs! They're hungry and have resorted to eating their own(RIP @ChicopeeChip ). Now chop chop China man. Feed Nana."

I'm not exactly sure what any of that means...He also mentioned something about a half hovel and Lego sets.".

...so Quasi should have been able to get all of that info out of Patrick (as the SFWA's lawyer has suggested); but I'm guessing Pat's being a little bitch about it and refusing.

Since the SFWA are asking Quasi for $5k to say "no" to the request, does that mean that Quasi can just tack that $5k onto his costs, and bill Pat for it?

Did the SFWA just dig Pat $5k deeper in the hole, rather than hand over some mundane and easily-accessible information?

I’m sure the SFWA and Rick have kept everything up to par. They just truly believe in privacy for all. That’s why they told Rick they’d fund him to try and uncover the identities of 60+ people so he could dox them. Then he’d learn his lesson. TYFYS quasi, and your monster cocked legal team.

No social media for either of them, unfortunately.
