I thought being a lovely human being was the whole appeal of lowtax. Was there really a time people thought he was a decent person?

weird that people want a repeat abuser to step down from running the website that a lot of people who have experience with terrible abusers use to distract themselves from all that you mentioned

weird

I think the idea was that he was a garden variety basement dwelling shithead, the ur goon, not complete filth. Also these forums really haven't been about him for a decade

I imagine his spine problems are down to the fact he's never got off his fat arse and done a days work in his life.

Having heard of none of his previous poo poo before and reading this thread it's pretty clear that the reason I've never heard of this is because of the mods. That people had to work hard to try and get out stuff that's happened and were banned or their posts deleted by the mods is super hosed up. I feel like I'm a pretty normal sa user, keeping up with threads that interest me but pretty much never going through gbs, and it's like being blindsided. Apparently I should have been more active and would have seen this poo poo but it feels like there was some serious effort put into hiding lowtax's history and that's hosed.

I have zero faith at this point that the mods can take over or turn this forum around because at least some of them actively worked to bury what lowtax had done/was doing. Hell maybe it was all of them I don't know.

Check any forum, especially GBS, and watch how people fellate mods to the nth degree. The mod worship is unreal and I never understood it.

"Mod, please notice me!"

People get addicted to this kind of attention that they probably lack in their day to day lives. And this can sometimes lead to the above situation -- the preservation of the status quo.

This might sound weird too, but often when people are being psychologically and emotionally abused, they aren't in a rational state of mind where they would think, "gee, I should secretly keep a recorded on me at all times so I can document this! And I'm sure if my partner discovers I'm secretly recording them, they'll be perfectly fine with it and the abuse won't get worse!"

While we're on the subject of goon history, can we take a moment to all agree on how hosed up Swap.avi was? Not just the content of it, but that a bunch of goons paid money to a (Brazilian?) gray market "studio" to force those women to do that poo poo.

I wasn't even involved and I still feel guilty about that. Also, it's one of the few shock videos I can't get through without gagging.
Goons paid for swap.

I've been lurking/posting here for a long rear end time but there's something I gotta say now after seeing all this.

All this stuff with lowtax sucks and gently caress him for being such a poo poo person. He should never come back here. But honestly he's only half of why I'm so disgusted.

Having heard of none of his previous poo poo before and reading this thread it's pretty clear that the reason I've never heard of this is because of the mods. That people had to work hard to try and get out stuff that's happened and were banned or their posts deleted by the mods is super hosed up.

If they'd shown they believed women or cared maybe I'd stick it out but this thread has made it pretty loving clear what side they were on and it's honestly disgusting. I read Reene's announcement and seriously at this point why should any of us trust the mods to do the right thing.

I hope I can still hang out somewhere else online with the cool people I've met here.

Yeah I have to agree. I feel like a poo poo for trying to ignore it whenever some poo poo with Lowtax would pop up and I imagine a huge portion of goons feel similarly. But equivocation between that and the mods who actively worked to purge the evidence of lowtax's actions and create an environment where no one is allowed to express doubt as to his side of the story is hosed. And I believe that if posters hadn't discovered and reacted so quickly and in such numbers there absolutely would be mods trying to memory-hole all of this and banning anyone who talked about it.
