- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice.
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal to a troll. The individual in the video is very obviously Patrick S. Tomlinson.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never submitted this video footage during any of his many media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

Everyone stunk.
Gabriel in Genesis and Gabriel solo are like two totally different Gabriels.
His solo work is far superior, IMO.
I like both, but something about the raw talent they had at such a young age, and hearing it expand with every album, leans me more towards the band as a collective with Peter.
That said, I'm torn on "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway". Most of that music was already written - some of it during pre-"Trespass" time, but just reworked - and Peter demanded to write all the lyrics by himself, which he did. I think the quote that's always reported is "Name one concept album written by committee?" Something like that, but to me the lyrics on over half of the songs are rather weak and too abstract. Makes the whole thing feel bloated at times.
Even during my tenure, when I brought up playing some of the songs from Lamb on tour, it was still a touchy subject for the two, mostly Tony. I happened to get along well with Tony, and in one of his rare moments of personal candidness, he said that he was happy for Peter finding his own way after the animosity that built during Lamb, but he was happier that they found out Phil could carry the weight, and even flourish. Said to me, "I felt like I was finally in a 'band' again."
I don't know Mr. Gabriel, and all I've ever heard from people in the business is that he's a lovely bloke, especially nowadays, but it sounded like he was quite an intense artist as a young man. I mean, you saw the landing strip shave on his head, right? Who the Fuck does that?
Hard disagree. Not a fan of PGs solo stuff really at all but Gabriel Genesis is some of the best stuff ever put to tape.
I think it's just r/jimandsam that's left....
