Oh wow, I kept reading and it gets worse and worse...

And look Homer, him giving you his email was involved! (Near the end) You must be so proud.

Yeah, I, I guess?

Sort of wish I'd taken him up on his offer to buy that Nick Bravo painting off me. Then I could have got a mailing address...!

Oh, for fucks sake. Does anyone know if this was at all related to the Happie Cabbie/ Girl's Feet/ "Sock Removal Challenge" thing that Nick was trying to expose the week before he got sent to jail? Also, I actually remember 'Ned Flanders', from some of Nick's videos. I checked out his channel and spotted all the jailbait likes (don't check it, I got a few weird recommendations out of that), but I didn't really think anything of it at the time. Makes sense now, though.

Holy shit. This is the gift that keeps on giving, provided you love terrible things. Holy shiiiiiiiiiit!

Yeah, I think this video was from one of those amateur comedy/ Friar's Club/ Toast Masters things Nick hung out at back in the day. I don't know too much about it, but I've heard that was a thing he did.

Assuming this really is Tom Davis, I guess that's where he knows Nick from, and there's probably some juicy story as to why he declared an undying vendetta against our fallen hero, Corky.

I think the opinion is that Tom Davis got really, really mad when Tim called him a pedophile because it touched a bit close to home and that's where the grudge was born.

It does look like the same stage, doesn't it?

This is the most amazing part. Yes, the guy that hunted down Nick Bravo turned out to be an ex-con who is a pedo that makes our own JHM and Caminanate seem quaint. That's an amazing twist. That's the kind of twist in a story that makes everything else the story throws at you believable. There's nothing too incredible any more.

BUT HE KNEW NICK FROM YEARS BEFORE! Could this vendetta reach back that far?

If you had told me four months ago that the Nick Bravo saga would become even more fascinating _after_ he was caught, I would have called you a liar. And yet, here we are. Wow.

One sleazy opportunist has put another sleazy opportunist in jail, and is himself now being pursued by further sleazy opportunists. Pretty much America in a nutshell, as far as I can determine.

Some of the details seem kind of sketchy. For example, I checked around a few blogs, and I am not convinced that Tom Falater/ Tom Davis is the same man as Tom Shelly, webmaster from Niggermania. Tom Falater seems to have been a former associate of Niggermania who got bumrushed out of the White Power community for being a prick, and harbored a grudge against his former pals ever since. I'm also not entirely clear on whether what he's done is *illegal*. Well, he did something illegal back in the 90s, obviously, hence why he went to prison (and also probably why he's so obsessed with the details of prison life and law enforcement in general). I'm just not seeing what exactly we'd be report him to the Feds for (besides, given his skeevy yet public line of work, I'm fairly certain the Feds already know about him, and have been keeping a close eye on his activities for years). Gross, yes, creepy no doubt. Illegal? Not sure.

Still, if even half of this is true, his character and his reputation are pretty much ruined. The shitstorm that's about to land on him might even topple a much wider section of the internet than we can currently imagine (again, I've got to wonder if HappyCabbie is in on this jailbait ring, and if so, how many others) I'd really love to see Tom Davis respond to all this, but judging by this thread:

...it looks like he may have seen the writing on the wall and pulled a Timmy last week.

"who got bumrushed out of the White Power community for being a prick"

Must have been one colossal prick to get kicked out of a club like that.

He infected a racist Usenet group with a computer virus.

Relevant bits are the comments at the end of this page, which start innocently enough, before devolving into a massive flamewar between Falater (apparently posting under the assumed identity of "Tom Shelly") and a bunch of random other people, including Shelly himself at the end. For the sake of convenience, I'll reprint the most informative post below:


------------------------------
Thomas Falater, a former federal prison inmate.

One of his tricks is to flood groups and use dozens of nyms. He'll make up rumors about himself. He's another person crying for attention for himself.

No one said Falater went to prison for uploading a virus. What is the fact is Falater uploaded a virus to alt.flame.niggers which infected a number of computers of known racists there who turned on Falater.

Falater went to federal prison for mail fraud.
------------------------------

"uploaded a virus to alt.flame.niggers" has got to be one of the best lines to put on your resume.

yeah man.

he really had it all.

He did! It might not seem like much to anyone else, but he was a man with a purpose. Sending Nick to prison, that was his life's dream right there, his every waking passion. The rest of us could be so lucky to finding a calling which gives our lives that much meaning, as Nick did for Tom.

I never did understand what the interest in Corky was. There's millions of him all around us, just try to get through the day without encountering him in one form or another. He sort of reminds me of Dustin Hoffman's character in Midnight Cowboy. I suppose there is that, but not much to hang your hat on eh?

@Oscar, I'd wager it's due to having a lead in any stance or chance. It's more tempting to follow up on a scumbag if you have something than to act on a scumbag when you have nothing.

I am now dying of laughter at the idea that the person in this video may have once described himself as "White God".

And that such a person registered an account here.

Stitches man, stitches.

Also his name here was TomDavis61. Just sayin'.

Another fascinating link, wherein Tom Falater picks a fight with a bunch of fat women on ModelMayhem:

It plays out much like the flamewar from the previous link, but there's also the following

---------------------
Falater Photography-
... I wrote that I don't find overweight women attractive and suddenly all the plus sized models on here are spreading around that I'm a racist, an inmate in prison, a pervert, and murderer all rolled up into one. And they carry on about it for months.
---------------------


which is eerily similar to the final statement made by TomDavis over on the Corky forum, prior to his disappearance.



---------------------
TomDavis -
Say what you want about me. I'm a racist, homophobe, pedophile, convicted felon, convict, blah blah blah. Makes no difference. If Tim submitted bad documents, he's 'going down'.
---------------------


Seems this is a common pattern with poor old Tom.

Four days before the "Case Against Tom Davis" was posted:

"Say what you want about me. I'm a racist, homophobe, pedophile, convicted felon, convict, blah blah blah. Makes no difference. If Tim submitted bad documents, he's 'going down."

He obviously knew this was coming. He's a real creep who deserves everything he wrought on Corky, but he'll have some small redemption if he's true to his word here.

Where's Yellow Dyno when you need him?

Hehe, yeah, see the ModelMayhem link I posted above. Same quote and everything; this has happened to him, many, many times before.
