After years of internet drama, woke Twitter activist and alleged sci-fi writer Patrick S. Tomlinson paid the internet forum owner known as Quasi after years of fighting a frivolous lawsuit over people making fun of him on the internet.

The purveyor of the OnA Forums has had to deal with harassment from Patrick S. Tomlinson through lawfare and a constant public relations tour involving multiple mainstream media appearances from the hobbyist author for years ever since Patrick S. Tomlinson posted to Twitter something which offended many normal people: that he did not find comedian Norm MacDonald funny. 

The post went viral and Twitter users saw that Patrick S. Tomlinson had something off about him. He would reply to almost every post arguing with anyone who appeared even somewhat to disagree with him on his incendiary political postings, often rambling about how such people would be “going to prison, stalker.”  As of this writing, Fandom Pulse could not find anyone who actually went to prison based on Patrick S. Tomlinson’s taunting.

Matters heated up when a harmless online prank was pulled where someone who went under the name “Josiah” interviewed Patrick S. Tomlinson where the sometimes author made a lot of strange comments, one of the most bizarre alleging that people are accusing him of grinding up black children into sausage in his basement.

Patrick S. Tomlinson ran with hours of phone interviews from this prankster, eventually finding out that Josiah was not from the media. At that point in the conversation, his voice changed much like William Dafoe’s when he became The Green Goblin in the Spider-Man movies. He started ranting at Josiah, repeatedly calling him “child,” in one of the creepiest internet exchanges ever. 

While Patrick S. Tomlinson has dozens of instances where he goes ballistic on the internet worth reporting on, most of his “work” involves tweeting angrily about Donald Trump or Elon Musk, of which he spends hours a day with dozens of posts on the handle @stealthygeek.

Matters came to a head when Patrick S. Tomlinson decided to try to sue the OnA Forums owner in what was deemed a frivolous lawsuit once the judge saw how ridiculous it was that a public figure in the sphere of politics and occasionally novel-writing was complaining about pushback online. The judge ordered Quasi get paid his attorneys fees, but regardless, Patrick S. Tomlinson ranted online about how he would never pay Quasi for the harm he caused, which resulted in Patrick S. Tomlinson going back to court and settling.

Now, after years of drama, justice is finally served as Quasi has come forward to post in the first time in years to let everyone know he was paid. He posted a copy of the checks and screenshots of the wires showing the matter is finally over and that Patrick S. Tomlinson lost.  The amount of the money paid was $83,736.99.

An enthusiast of the sometimes author who goes by Sommerville Dan posted about the matter to Twitter / X saying, “And… it’s over. Now we know why@oflahertylaw  is no longer needed. Congrats to Quasi, Jerry Jen, Ruben Peña, and all the other hard pipe-hitting lawyers that pushed in Tomlinson’s shit. #PaidQuasi”

This post was followed up by cheers from several who have been targeted by Patrick S. Tomlinson with accusations of “criminal” and “stalker” over the years in his relentless Twitter attacks of random people.

    Patrick S. Tomlinson is a fascist liar, all while wearing a shirt that says, “Only you can prevent fascist liars”. How ironic.

    There once was a goon named Patrick
    who was accurately nicknamed Fatrick
    His pepperoni has frizzy hairs,
    he stole his own deck chairs,
    and he always twitter-replies with a hat trick
    (“no, child”; “you are delusional”; “enjoy prison, stalker”)
