To be fair, he really had no choice but to. He wasn't smart enough to dig up a comeback and knew anything he said would likely backfire and result in prolonged bullying ("Come back here and shut up!"). In theory he coulda pulled a Stangle and ragequit, but he had a hefty paycheck for not a lot of work. His famous ability to "take a beating" was really all he was good for, and it was either that or leave.

- 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.

Erock hate thread
- Thread starter Sue Lightning
- Start date
It should never be forgotten that Erocks reward for rolling with the punched was a cushy corporate job with Sirius doing programming. And he got fired in under 2 years because, presumably, he was still just as lazy and fat as he was when he was an intern.
The man spent the majority of his tenure at the company "networking" with the vast majority of whatever remained of the radio industry. When he was looking for new work, inexplicably, nobody, anywhere, had a single use for him.
Good thread. Fuck that fat fuck!
But did you account for inflation???
Erock was one of those guys who was frustratingly lucky, born into a rich family, acquired his dream job, met a bunch of people including celebrities who could help his career, literally won the lottery, got an appearance in the biggest game franchise of all time, got a cushy gig after O&A due to longevity and all this for a no talent fatso that was fun to goof on.
Erock's father was connected to the radio industry. That was actually how he met Opie. It was not some 'chance meeting of a fan'. It was Eric's father networking for him to get his entry into his favorite show which was O&A.
Exactly. Erock beatings are more memorable than most of the other staff and interns, I lump Erik into the less hateable guys on the show. I’ve never despised him the way I do Sam or Troy.
is that true? how about the deets.
The story always seemed to be that Erock met Opie 'by chance', & that seemed sus... but I assumed Erock was being a stlaker & forced the 'chance' meeting
Danny is very bitter that erock won the 100K newspaper puzzle. So bitter that he and the others left eric at the concert with no ride home. What a bunch of children.

We should make this a cokelogic hate thread too!
If it was a show newspaper like they claimed then they have every right to be bitter, if it was Erocks paper though then they're shit outta luck and have no right to be bitter.
@BenDovid, comment?
Ironically erock was the only one not lazy enough to do the puzzle and send it in, as it would have been discarded into the trash.
Hey, that's not true.
He got hired by the radio equivalent of Ted Kaczynski
He was never an intern fuh duh show. Opie hired him leading up to XM, unless I’m mistaken. That’s probably part of the reason he was a lazy fuck.

Hi.
I wasn't at that concert. Ben & Opie ditched Erik.
Every day all of the local papers are delivered to the show. Not to Erik. To The Opie & Anthony Show. Erik wasn't buying the newspaper in the morning to prep with, he was late 95% of the time. When is he reading a paper.
