Hate Mail from a Dickhead
When I first saw that Nikolaus Pacione had joined HWA, I decided to sit back and watch it run its course. HWA does not bear fools lightly. But Nicky flooded the boards in less than a day with shills, chest-beating proclamations of his talent and importance, and other such things as he is justly infamous for. Finally, I began to post polite (giving out nothing of our previous history on other boards) and sure enough the hate mail begins again. I'm wondering if it's just me, or everyone who has posed a negative comment in those threads in response to his? It would be interesting to find out.

Today's letter was much milder than those past and because of my Blocked Sender's list, went directly into the trashcan from which I rescued it on suspicion of its being from Nicky.

Nicky says:

You mean to tell me you are going to piss on writers just because they are on a print on demand publishing house. What the fuck is wrong with you. They need all the support they can get. More than the Bram Stoker award winners. I know that you hate my guts and that is something clear when I was on the gothic.net boards. You are nothing but a windbag who will never acknowledge me as a writer.

Cussedness says: HWA is a professional organization, we do not want to see people promoting non-paying markets on our boards.

My previous exchange with Nicky-poo is this one:

Blast on this one dyke. I did a little fine editing you are saying that I will never get published. I get this story published -- you will have to burn a few of your own books. You hate me as it is, what are you going to do when I have a story out in a collection burn the pages that my short story appears in. Because that is what it seems that you are doing with you are doing by taking shots at my proteges and supporters. You want to take shots at me -- do it
on my blog because that way I can actually back up what I can say. FUCK YOU. Your books are good for one thing -- toilet paper. You want to take shots at mockfear.com or
horrorfind.com while you are at it. You are out of your season bitch. You should be taking other writers under your wing but the sound of my name seems to piss you off.

My reply was:

Baby Boy, get your dick out of your throat. I have several writers under my wings, but I wouldn't touch an illiterate fuck up nothing like yourself.

Yes, I'm a big dyke mama and proud of it. Why should I say anything about you in your blog? That would mean reading your inarticulate, badly written prose. I have better things to do with my time.

Don't bother to reply. I have just added this new address of yours to my block senders list and I'm contacting my isp to see that you don't get through again.

But then I had to peek didn't I? And get the new one?

Any how, Nicky is well known for his attacks up writers who have homosexual characters in their works or are homosexual themselves. He is also a raving racist rant-scum. I have zero-tolerance for that kind of stuff.

It is well-known that he harrassed Poppy Z. Brite and others and a rumor recently reached my ears that Eugie Foster may have been so terrified by him that she got a restraining order. Now this is, at this point, a rumor only. However, it would not surprise me. If someone could confirm it, I would like to see it brought to the attention of my colleagues at HWA.

Empty Purple Eyes at Gothic.net has been receiving death threats from Nicky for over seven months, but doesn't live within reach of him, which is probably fortunate.

She sent me the following URLs at my request.
