Print shop owner Tim Doyle, who has a history of harassing Ethan Van Sciver, Diversity & Comics, and even targeted Mitch Breitweiser has a new target, YouTuber That Umbrella Guy.
Doyle recently targeted That Umbrella Guy in a series of Tweets calling him a “bigot.” He would then tweet out a thinly veiled threat indicating that That Umbrella Guy would “put himself and his family at risk.”
Doyle would first attack That Umbrella Guy by calling him a “NOTORIOUS #COMICSGATE bigot.”
Watching A NOTORIOUS #COMICSGATE bigot dox himself because he doesn’t know the name of a Harry Potter actor-pretty great. Matthew Lewis- looks like Neville Longbottom has claimed another victim. Maybe The Unbrella guy will stop being an asshole now that everyone knows who he is.

This behavior is not abnormal for Doyle. He previously labeled the entire ComicsGate movement as “white supremacists.” He’s also individually targeted Cyberfrog creator Ethan Van Sciver and called him everything from a “homophobic bigot” to a “Nazi.”
Here’s Homophobic bigot, Ethan Van Sciver telling people to report me for pointing out things they have actually said & done (image 1). Ethan keeps saying they’re not a homophobe, & yet-internet is forever, we have screenshots. (image 2). There’s a lot more where this came from. pic.twitter.com/HBidnREGIu

Doyle would eventually admit his attacks on Van Sciver were purely because he is a Donald Trump supporter.
Not only has Doyle attacked Van Sciver, but he also targeted Mitch Breitweiser due to his support of Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential election.
Doyle has also targeted Richard C. Meyer and even sent him a threatening letter regarding his kids.
In fact, it looks like Doyle is attempting to use the same tactic he used on Richard C. Meyer against That Umbrella Guy. After attacking That Umbrella Guy, Doyle would follow it up indicating he knows where That Umbrella Guy lives.
Once you know his name, it’s real easy to find out literally everything about him. The question now is- is he smart enough to STFU, or will he keep harassing people who now know where he lives?

He would then go on to predict that That Umbrella Guy would “put himself and his family at risk.”
My money is that he will double down and put himself and his family at risk by being even more of a harassing asshole. And then the cops will have to get involved. And jobs will be lost. There’s a sadly predictable arc here.

Doyle would deny that his tweet was threatening, but his past behavior regarding Richard C. Meyer indicates a distinct pattern of behavior.
To the TUG fans in my mentions- this is not a threat. This is an observation. This person used anonymity as a shield to be a POS. now he is known, which exposes him. Will he change? I doubt it. He’s not that smart.

And while Doyle denies he was making a veiled threat, That Umbrella Guy saw it very differently.
“We KNOW where you live.”
THREATS.THIS is why I addressed this publicly.
Because these idiots added my FULL name – even admitting it – while going a LOT further.
And DOYLE – who talked about harming a GOV official – says shut up or your family is at risk.
No thanks. pic.twitter.com/tQfZJG8uBG

That Umbrella Guy is not the only one to see Doyle’s tweets as threatening.

Already reported him for targeted harassment, posting private information, and threatening physical violence. Coward blocked me when I called him out on his bullshit.

I spoke with That Umbrella Guy and he is taking Doyle’s tweets seriously. He informed me he has contacted the police and filed reports. He also indicated to me that he has retained the services of Ty Beard, who is currently representing Vic Mignogna in his ongoing lawsuit.
