lol ok, lowtax goes out of his way to specifically target people who he knows are emotionally vulnerable so he can manipulate them then throw them under the bus by pointing to their mental illness as a way to exonerate himself from any wrongdoing, therefore both people are really at fault here, got it

Lol you guys are out for blood

This is exactly what I mean, he’s not shacking up with a normal person, because a normal person would tell a webmaster in 2020 to gently caress off, not shack up

what sort of disposition are people hoping to see from Lowtax when he finally shows up? I feel like we’re most likely to get some disingenuous spiraling/pity-party bullshit soon to be followed by mass bannings, but for maximum comedy I’d love to see him show up doing some sort of puppetmaster routine

I'm hoping everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) tells him to get hosed and he proceeds to gently caress off after realising he can't ban the entire forum user base, personally.

I expect he'll just act like a persecuted loser because his brain is too addled to ever acknowledge his own failure, and given how we've treated the unhinged over the years I'm trying to decide if it's ironic or not

It didn't work because we aren't morons and he was arrested for "being a good neighbor." Unfortunately the judge was a moron and let him post bail so two hours later he drunkenly crashed his truck into her garage and sat in the car cradling a .45 for an hour before they sent a dog to drag him out by his face.

Update for posters w/ lives just joining in.

:siren:Primer/Refresher for Anyone Interested:siren:

This is/was an admin and marketing consultant for SA who, for a time, lived with Lowtax after meeting him during the collapse of his previous marriage.





She retracted her claims, though the veracity of this retraction is... suspect for a variety of reasons.

Warning: very uncomfortable video.
https://www.facebook.com/1503357396/videos/10216979537629666/

:siren:UPDATE: To the surprise of no one anywhere, it turns out Logan was coerced into her retraction.:siren:

I've been dunking on the mod/admin team a lot, but kudos to the ones who actually used their resources to help her, Literally a Bird in particular.

Another major issue regarding Lowtax and the administration's attitudes towards domestic violence are the unhealthy relationships Lowtax has had with the women in his life over the years, and his constant shifting of blame anytime anything relating to them comes to the forum's attention. Perhaps the most damning examples are the very, very recent (as of this year) abuse claims and custody issues Lowtax has been contending with.







Lowtax posted a large thread detailing his side of the story. Anyone looking to question him was... not treated well. The same went for anyone donating to the GoFundMe of his wife (well-liked user LadyAmbien), who had taken refuge in a women's shelter.










And the lengthier reports here:

https://twitter.com/H3yY0000/status/1276000545451446273

https://twitter.com/H3yY0000/status/1276000546902749185

https://twitter.com/H3yY0000/status/1276000548341374979

When goons finally came to their senses and were free to wonder what the gently caress was up with this bullshit, mods/admins involved had the following things to say.



Look, a primary part of why we probated and banned people for contesting Lowtax's claims of a wife conspiracy were to protect those wives' right to privacy in the thread where their abusive ex-husband repeatedly and confidently posted details regarding their private lives and legal stituation.

And Burt's very respectable response!



It is not yet apparent if the forums will be deleted, censored, sold, or handed over. Existing offsites, discord groups, etc. are popping in to welcome new people. New ones are being created. There isn't much consensus as to which of these are the most likely or preferable outcomes. A lot of us are just wanting to say our peace and will play it by ear afterwards. I expect to be banned in all likelihood.

Do what you want. My advice is this: unsubscribe from Lowtax's patreon, stop spending money on the forums completely and most importantly:

anyone remember that college presentation that blowtax did with some extremely cringey power point presentation and then got into an argument with the faculty in the audience about how it was funny and good to use the word human being in an internet context because it just meant "lame"?

the absolute moron then posted said video for us to cheer him on?

Well in terms of proceeding with the forums, I want him to say "Ok, I'm handing over control of the forums to someone else" and then he walks away from SA and we don't have to deal with his bullshit again.
