Heh, the poor fellow is looney tunes. Check out his messageboard, where he posts to himself under several different nicknames. Then at some point he claims that someone has altered the IP addresses of those names to trick everyone into thinking they're all him. Funny stuff. He had several reviews by himself under different names on Amazon too, but they clean him out periodically.
When D&D chick caught the several plagiarized paragraphs(!) in the Dreadmire manuscript, Necro quietly cut him loose with no fuss. But Randy came roaring back raving about the injustice of it all, he was tricked, etc, so Bill and Clark justifiably fired back. Ever since, folks on the Necro boards have made a sort of hobby out of pointing out his wildly bizarre behavior ever since. Here's a recent thread:

Also amusing, is his recent ousting from the planning board for CoastCon, which he has always bragged about being a member of:

Chairman requests the following statement be read into the minutes:
“As Chairman, I monitor the CoastCon forum and email accounts
carefully, responding as necessary to problems that arise in those
venues. Recently Randy Richards angered forum members, many of
whom are former CoastCon Board members and staff, which I learned
through the forum and numerous private emails. I counseled Randy
during the May 6th GC meeting, hoping to curtail his enthusiasm to best
serve CoastCon. However, facts presented to me both before and since
that meeting have led me to believe that he is unsuitable to hold the
position of Member at Large with CoastCon. His transgressions
include, but are not limited to:
• Breaking personal and corporate confidentiality
• Overstepping his authority
• Disobeying direct orders from the Chairman and the
Vice-Chairman
• Misrepresenting CoastCon to outside groups
• Alienating outside groups as well as members of
CoastCon
• Publicly expressing anti-Governing Committee
sentiments
• Directly lying to Board Members
Given the facts and proof of the above that I have been presented, I
believe that Randy’s continued association with CoastCon would be
destructive to the corporation, and I therefore recommend that the
Governing Committee remove Randy Richards from his Member at
Large position.
I chose to include this statement in the minutes because I feel that
Randy’s track record of misrepresentation of facts to suit his own needs
warrants full disclosure of his actions to the general membership.”
MOTION: R. Richards SECOND: D. Baudoin
“To open a general group discussion regarding the Chairman’s
statement.”
Motion carries.
Discussion begins with Board Members asking the Chairman to present
the proof of each allegation; Chairman goes through each bulleted item,
presenting proof and commentary, offering Randy a chance for rebuttal.
Jason Fisher joined the meeting at 9:26 pm.
Derrek Baudoin offers a recommendation that Randy not be removed
from his MAL position, but rather be put on a 90-day probation period.
Discussion continues.
Derrek Baudoin rescinds his recommendation for putting Randy on
probation in favor of moving directly to dismissal proceedings.
Carmen Tempone left the meeting at 9:43 pm.
Mary Gruenberg and Jeff Dubuisson left the meeting at 9:50 pm.
MOTION : M. White SECOND: M. Tempone
“To remove Randy Richards from his position as Member at Large on
the CoastCon Governing Board.”
(discussion continues before this motion is brought to a vote)
Randy Richards left the meeting at 10:20 pm saying “I resign”.
His verbal resignation is not recognized by the Chairman because
written resignation is required by the CoastCon bylaws.
MOTION: L. Jerome SECOND: C. Majure
“ To close the floor to discussion.”
Motion passes.
Mike White reminds board of his motion still on the floor.
(RESTATEMENT OF MOTION)
MOTION : M. White SECOND: M. Tempone
“To remove Randy Richards from his position as Member at Large on
the CoastCon Governing Board.”
Motion passes.
MOTION: C. Majure SECOND: L. White
“That all remaining agenda matters be tabled due to the late hour.”
Motion passes.
