- 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.

Never watched it. I hear so many great things about it, i really oughta.
It has Colin in an episode and Norm. Give it a shot.
It’s probably one of the top 5 or top 10 tv comedies of all time

I just could not get in to it the only time i tried to watch it
I am actually currently rewatching it. Garry Shandling was so fucking great. Rip Torn, Jeffrey Tambor and Scott Thompson usually got my ribs.
This is probably a stupid comparison, but the Ron & Fez show was essentially the radio version of Larry Sanders. Both are shows about the behind the scenes of a show.
Hank's Night in the Sun predicted Nice Podcast Stupid.
Hank is one of the best sitcom characters of all time.
Hey now, here's a thread I can get into!
Also Linda Doucett has some all-time classic TV beefers.

Easily one of the top few sitcoms ever, although it takes a few episodes to get into it's subtle, blink and you'll miss it humour.
It stays consistently funny to the end of its run and the characters don't become caricatures of themselves.
Other than Sanders being neurotic, it's refreshingly un-Jewy in a way that Seinfeld definitely wasn't. Rip Torn and the dude that plays Hank are fucking insanely good.
