The complaint to quash the subpoena states, “Patrick S. Tomlinson, the plaintiff in the underlying Wisconsin Action, seeks to use a subpoena to identify Petitioner, the anonymous operator of a website on which third parties published allegedly defamatory and harassing statements about Tomlinson.”
“The Court should quash Tomlinson’s subpoena because the First Amendment protects Petitioner’s right to engage in anonymous speech, including his operation of a website, and Tomlinson cannot show that he has any viable claim against Petitioner that would justify his invasion into Petitioner’s First Amendment Rights,” it adds.

The complaint goes on to reveal that the Petitioner is the operator of onaforums.net (OnA) and that “Tomlinson initiated the Wisconsin Action against the authors of the allegedly defamatory statements and against Petitioner, as the operator of OnA Forums.”
It then provides further background information on Tomlinson’s original lawsuit in Wisconsin, “In the Wisconsin Action, Tomlinson alleges that unknown Defendants John Does 2-60 published defamatory, harassing, and invasive statements about him on OnA Forums and other websites. Tomlinson further alleges that Petitioner, who is designed in Wisconsin Action as John Doe 1, created OnA Forums to shame, defame, and harass Tomlinson, and that Petitioner conspired with John Does 2-60 to published the allegedly defamatory and harassing Statements about Tomlinson on OnA Forums.”
“In the Wisconsin Action, Tomlinson has asserted claims for 1) defamation, 2) invasion of privacy, 3) cyber piracy, 4) intentional infliction of emotional distress, 5) tortious interference, and 6) civil conspiracy. With the exception of the claim for cyber piracy, Tomlinson asserts his claims against all Defendants, including Petitioner and John Does 2-60,” the complaint details.

Tomlinson was also ordered to pay $23,739.25 in attorneys’ fees and costs, which the Court finds is a reasonable and well-documented amount.”

Novelist and comic book writer Jon Del Arroz reacted to this news stating, “This is what happens. These people love to just sniff their own farts and pretend they are just the greatest thing in the world.”
“They think they can get away with just taking down free speech. They think they can get away with harassing conservatives, right-wingers, and Christians out of the spaces of the public square because they’ve been emboldened for a long time,” he continued.
“But what happens when they actually end up in court, they lose every single,” he declared.
