- 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 (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his 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 emergencies (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.

Punk isn’t dead
- Thread starter Mr. Faggotry
- Start date
It's so fucking gay when musicians try to sell you more than just music, like an attitude.
I miss the Henry Rollins "that's one _____ I won't ____" memes from the old sub.
Some of those guys on reddit could really do an incredible Rollins post, I don't think they made it here because the quality of the attempts pale in comparison
I love Minor Threat and Fugazi, but I would also love to punch Ian McKay in his throat.
Punk unfortunately broke a hip, and won’t be able to play this week at the Wacky Weasels Pizzeria.
If there was a Friar's Club type thing for people who take themselves way too seriously, Rollins would be the emcee and Ian MacKaye would be working the door. I mean sure, I'm glad it all worked out to his satisfaction and all, but geez, lighten up a little.
That’s one iteration of Genesis I won’t be listening to.
I miss Rollins posting
Totally fucking agree.
Be sure to get your tickets for The Punk Rock Museum, and don't forget to visit the teenage nudie bar next door
I could go there for free but still haven't felt like it, although I understand they have some books in there I should deface.
I have no idea how they intend to keep things going.
It's basically a bunch of random souvenirs from someone's teenage years. Imagine if you had a shoebox full of crap from when you were growing up, and you put it all in glass cases and called it a museum.
It's not terrible but it's difficult to imagine that they'll be able to keep people coming back year after year. It would probably work best if it was something that toured from city-to-city.
