mind the walrus: Sep 22, 2006

You know how sometimes you see a garbage person who does horrible things and you just think "man... that human being there is suffering, and they need help?"

Yeah I don't feel any of that with Lowtax. He can absolutely go gently caress himself on the tallest pole he can find.

yeah im not ok with him making money but i really dont think there's anything else to do about it, that's probably what is going to happen regardless

if he doesnt sell it he still stands to make money regardless, this is a strong point

I'm not so sure. I think he stands to make a lot more money by selling to Jeffrey than to some other soulless third party that just looks at this site as a set of numbers like "2000 daily active users" or something like that.

I see Lowtax as essentially holding some kind of intangible like "forums culture" hostage. He's going to try to get as much money as he can for "preserving" the culture of the site by not interfering with it before/during the sale.

The implicit threat here is that he could ruin the site's culture in less than a day just by going on some kind of permaban spree, or just by installing bad (worse?) mods. So Jeffery or someone else will have to pay him extra money to preserve the existing culture of the forums, just so that he doesn't raze it all down out of pettiness.

I dunno, maybe i'm looking at it from a more jaded perspective than everyone here, but I can't see lowtax doing anything more the scummiest thing possible, which is basically the stuff i've said above.

DGK2000: May 3, 2007; Hotel Soap is super proud of his little perfumed balls that never get dirty or stinky

SalTheBard posted:

They accuse of her being like Mr. Lahey from Trailer Park Boys

They continue to read Logan's Facebook where she recanted everything. Dick says that it's actually Logan who is evil for accusing Lowtax of this stuff. He also says that Goons that have turned their backs on Lowtax are similarly evil.

They ask if Logan's post made everything go away (sarcastically). Lowtax then starts talking about the internet hate mob telling Logan that she was gaslit. Lowtax hates that word and thinks it's over used.

They then start talking about why Lowtax sold the forums. He says that Jeffery's offer is "Cheap for what it is but enough for me to start actually doing something else. I don't know what the gently caress I"m going to do because I'm a college drop out"

Dick then tells Lowtax to start an only fan. Dick then starts reading Logan's text's to Lowtax from "that night"

They are pretty much mocking her through out the text messages. Logan says that "she loves smelling Lowtax and that she thinks about ending her own life" (I'm sorry the texts are a little confusing and it's also hard to listen to.) Lowtax is saying that he was in so much pain and was one day from an epidural so he was in so much pain that he couldn't do anything. Logan then sent a text message that said "Coward, I'm not even a trophy to you, I just make sure you have Gatorade. I wish you found me attractive at least :-/" Lowtax says this happened while he was sleeping. "I wish some entity would just strike me dead where I stand" The hosts continue to mock a Woman having a mental crisis. Logan than texted "It sucks when you are just like "Hahah you dumb oval office gently caress you." It hurts bad every single time." to Lowtax. Sean says that that is what Logan hears when Lowtax asks her "What do you want for breakfast?"

"Your suffering is not like mine when I'm alone and want to die" Dick then says "Lowtax WHAT ARE YOU GETTING YOURSELF INVOLVED WITH?!" and Lowtax says "Single white female" They continue with Logans texts "I really feel compelled to go to the hospital, why don't you be my friend right now?" "Your lucky that you have a spine condition, at least people care, unlike for me." Dick then says "Yeah I've heard females say that before." They continue with texts "You have gotten help every time you've needed while I've had to beg for it." Sean and Dick both agree that this is because Logan has driven everyone away from her. The hosts keep calling her insane over and over.

They continue to read her texts and they are paraphrasing. She apparently calls Lowtax "Sir" and Lowtax thought that was really strange. Lowtax talks about his epidural

The next day (the day after the alleged abuse). Lowtax gave Logan permission to come back to the house while he arranged for her to get a plane ticket because "I didn't just want to kick her out." Both hosts think that is exactly what he should've done, Lowtax agrees, but says he didn't because he's dumb. "I'm just gullible!"

Lowtax just wants love. He says that when you are in nerve pain you aren't thinking straight. He does say "I know have some responsibility for the choices I've made." Dick tells him "THAT IS VICTIM MENTALITY! " They then make some stupid jokes from there. Lowtax says there is no reason to physically assault someone in a relationship.

They continue to read text messages, this one from Lowtax to Logan "You have a key to the house you can come over and get the rest of your stuff assuming you are sober. You do not come downstairs and you do not instigate any physical contact with me." Logan responded "Can we talk about this" "I don't have a car can you call me an uber?" "Can you keep me on the phone plan until I get back to Salt Lake City?" Both of the hosts are just floored by these reasonable requests.

The hosts don't understand why the forums are in revolt. Dick says (sarcastically talking about SA) "Women need protection! Well not this one!" Lowtax starts to talk about victim mentality. He says that Logan has no right to call herself a victim when she was the one drinking. He didn't know she was addicted to alcohol when he invited her to come live with him. Logan texts something that ended with calling Lowtax Sir. Lowtax responded "Don't call me Sir!" Both hosts comment on how she isn't respecting Lowtax's boundaries with that. Logan continues "What other rules do I need to know? I don't know what else to call you." They keep reading texts. They all say they don't want to play the phone calls on air, because the text messages are so cut and dry.

The forums are the ones that are enabling the abuse for Logan because we have all secretly hated Lowtax for years. Lowtax is worried that Logan is going to start drinking because she knows she can do stuff.

The hosts are incredulous that all the Goons have turned on Lowtax. Lowtax says that people secretly support him but don't want to speak out publicly. "Allegations are just allegations. I've talked to people who know her in real life." Lowtax says that Logan has abused an ex in the past who is scared of her. He wishes people had warned him about Logan before Logan came over.

Dick says that people can be different around friends then in relationships.

Lowtax says that all of this started with her being physical with him and that he can't believe people are still saying "GASLIGHTING"

Dick says that everyone hates Something Awful because of all the liberals on here. Kiwi Farm especially. SA is as left as it gets. We are super liberal here. Dick says that Lowtax is stuck between two warring houses, the SUPER LIBERAL Something Awful and the Super Conservative Kiwi Farm and we are both united in hating him. Lowtax says that he gives Kiwi Farm because it only took them 22 years to get him removed from SA.

Dick says we are keyed up for justice. Lowtax says that the people in this thread are the vocal minority of posters. He says this situation is complicated and that people are manipulating the information to make the person we don't like look worse.

Dick says that everyone is a little bit guilty when it comes to domestic situations

Dick then talks about the text message to Lowtax's daughter, Lowtax says that text message is news to him. Sean can't believe this and says "Can you imagine having the worst moments of your life brought public"

Dick thinks that Lowtax is going to get the site back after we read the text messages. Lowtax says he disagrees with a lot of the Goons, and a lot of us only "think we know what happened" Sean says "I don't get the digging of the heels in when evidence to the contrary is presented." Sean rants about this for a few minutes. Sean thinks we should say "Sorry we jumped the gun, our bad!" They compare this to the OJ trial where Mark Furman saying the "N word" was enough to get OJ off. I'm not sure how they connect

Lowtax says the internet isn't fun anymore.

Lowtax says he isn't losing the site, because the left hates him, the right hates him, his ex's hate him. Lowtax is choosing to step down to keep the community intact. He's passing it on to someone else.

Sean wants to know if Lowtax is over estimating people leaving, Dick interjects that we owe him an apology.

Lowtax mentions that his patrean has gone from $8k a month down to $1k

Lowtax says that he thinks the majority would leave. Dick says "That bitch did you dirty!" Sean wants to know if Lowtax is paying alimony. Dick says that alimony was measured at it's peak and that Lowtax is hosed. Lowtax says that it's not even called Alimony it's called Maintenance and Dick thinks this is hilarious. Dick wants to talk to Lowtax about divorce court sometime. Lowtax says Divorce Court is highly stacked against the man.

Thats pretty much the end. Lowtax says that he knows this won't change anyone's minds. Dick thinks that Lowtax should just post the texts, go offline for a week. Lowtax (correctly) says that it won't change anything. The people who hate him will hate him regardless. Dick takes back his comment. Lowtax says he's unemployed and SA is dead.

EDIT: Holy poo poo Lowtax "If everyone tears down statues racism will be solved!" I don't know how they started talking about this.

Hey thanks for this

Oh hi no, please don't! I didn't have a chance to look back over the thread, and your summary is great. Made me laugh! Full disclosure: I wrote this whole thing out not because I thought the world was crying out for it, but because I was confined in a small space to sit very quietly with just my laptop for about 4 hours. So. I confess, a bit perverse.

EDIT: This is for SalTheBard and general opinion, and in a small way very important I think. I left out all of the texts Lowtax handed over to them and they read aloud and savaged, because it was so personal, raw, and at least, not SO FAR public. I only kept the KF, FB posts and stuff that I've seen posted and discussed ITT. Worth considering I think? Snipping out all of that?

Getting real rambling Trump vibes from that transcript

Now that you mention it, for as much as that Lowtax mocked Trump, he sure loving acts like him:
* Abusive to women
* Malignant narcissist
* Grifter to end all grifters
* Pathological liar
* Spends money on gaudy, ostentatious bullshit because he literally can't control himself
* Into women half his age
* Rich parents
* Doesn't actually do anything for a living other than exist and blab on the internet
* Inexplicably poor and wealthy at the same time (so the grift can continue)
* Obvious substance abuse issues that he lies about constantly

Sounds about right to me. There are probably more parallels but gross.

Yeah I guess I didn't think about that. At this point my post has been quoted several times so I don't know that it would really matter

But yeah I agree 100% that those texts are texts from a person who was suffering a mental health crisis and the only person she could confide in was her abuser.

Your "new forum" would get maybe ten people and die in a month. This is the problem with the logic of the "make a new forum" crowd: it's not going to happen.

Even if you can't ban Dick Yanker's account, can't he just give Jeffrey his passwords? Boom done. Change password, park account until the forum is unfucked enough to operate normally. Then, when SA is up and running like, you know, a post-2000 website, the whole forum has a big "gently caress OFF LOWTAX" ceremony where the account is nuked and all posts deleted forever.

If Lowtax can't be separated effectively from SA in any meaningful way, then SA should just be loving deleted.

Thanks QueenAnnesDead for your service.

For anyone who doesn't want to read through the whole transcript or even the few summaries already posted, here's the gist of Rich's defense:

QueenAnnesDead posted:

when she wasn�t drinking�
when she starts drinking,
You should not be mixing large amounts of alcohol...
she�s an alcoholic�
she swore she�d stop drinking!
she started drinking upstairs�.
But I can tell when she�s been drinking,
the moment she starts drinking,
you know, women who start drinking,
when alcohol mixes with anti-psychotic medication,
when you choose to drink alcohol
are you a victim because you chose to begin drinking
you just assume they�re not drinking I guess
And she�ll continue drinking,
