i am just trying to make sense of this. she recanted. weirdly. but the accusing post was also very strange. I didn't know both of his ex wives also accused him of this poo poo. the recant could easily be lowtax saying "something awful is how we maintain our lifestyle and you're loving it all up because I lost my temper one time, now go on there and apologize or you will be left with nothing"

lowtax we all know none of this recanting siht would be happening if your meal ticket wasnt threatened by this. you'd probably be posting here yet again to vilify the people you abuse.

I've used these forums a long time and I haven't seen Lowtax actually do anything other than whine and complain whenever he made a post I don't really understand how he managed to get a cult of personality thing going at all when pretty much anyone else posting here is funnier and more creative
someone had a decent explanation upthread that makes sense to me. there was a pretty strong sentiment that Lowtax = Something Awful, so even when he wasn't really posting or engaging with SA at all, he was still a sort of figurehead and in some cases people conflated their appreciation for SA with appreciation for Lowtax

I don't know if I ever even saw him post outside of announcements and stuff :geno:

It would probably be more sensible to convert the database to work with a newer version of the software, then rewrite all of the special functions from scratch. I’m sure there are a number of us here who are capable of it. Some poo poo would get hosed up, but the end product would probably be a lot more functional.

QUEER FRASIER posted:

this cannot be posted enough. Lowtax’s plausible deniability at this point is zero

Yes, after today this is clearly true. My point about the mods and admins is just that when they acted before, they didn’t know about all the stuff we learned today. Reene’s post explaining him or herself actually made sense to me. Before all the police reports and texts and poo poo were discovered, it was reasonable for the mods and admins to worry that stuff like the gofundme stuff was, as Lowtax said, part of an attempt to get an edge in a custody battle, or maybe just an attempt by KF or someone to stir poo poo. Because that kind of thing happens all the time. Maybe they should have taken it more seriously, but gently caress maybe we all should have.

But now we have proof that three different women have made very similar allegations about Lowtax, and the mods and admins appear to me to be doing the right thing by threatening to quit unless Lowtax goes. And I’m skeptical of the motives of the posters who want to use this crisis to replace admins and mods they’ve been clear for months or years that they don’t like.

I have only a general idea what is going on here, but Lowtax has been cool for a long time.

The girl retracted her accusation and apparently takes bipolar medication, if she thinks she has been abused, she can go to the police.

Stop trying to crash his patreon or whatever, people can stop donating if they have issues with his conduct.

I know one thing is true in the year 2020: goons will never fail to take any opportunity to whiteknight a random girl on the internet.

The mods, I dunno, could have read through what was being probated and the one abuse survivor mod could have been like "hmm, you know, maybe it's a bad loving look to ban someone because they think it's lovely that someone is going to a battered women's shelter over this"

And Burt ain't loving said poo poo.

I mean I know someone could ddos it or whatever, what I meant is "change the admin passwords" isn't really feasible and probably just opens up whoever does it to legal action.
