Definitely true. Remember that D&D was a libertarian leaning forum for years. The political zeitgeist here was only starting to shift in 2009.

Late, but reading up on the new thread, and I remember the Shoe of all Cosmos stuff, and nobody deserves to get a beating like that, and any parent that does that to their child sucks.

If you want to feel even worse about the poor kid getting beaten, who then turned out to be a racist sex weird, the video of her father attacking her was fairly internet famous, and he pretty clearly has an erection! He was (might still be) a judge! It really sucks! Everything sucks!

When the video came out, he got a year of paid suspension. Then after his vacation, he went back to work as a judge for 2 more years before being defeated in an election. He didn't face any charges due to the statute of limitations. Today he's a lawyer in private practice. He specializes in family law.

Sorry to disappoint you, but the story isn’t true. The OP is former admin & front page writer dannymanic - telling long and increasingly ludicrous tales on the forums was his thing.

There was another one where he found out how some pornstar was actually his sister, another about his hideously deformed genitals (it culminated in a scene of him furiously - and unsuccessfully- masturbating with half a toothbrush).

I think it originally got posted in a "Post Your First Sexual Experience" or "Most Embarrassing Sexual Experience" thread, and it was just an amazing show stopper.

It's not like he didn't have a life or anything. He didn't even have my name and thought I was from Spain or Italy or Eastern Europe, so it was an impossible cause lol. But we run in similar esoteric circles .and to find me the way he did he had to know the right people and the right games/practices, so, as bad as the idea of marrying a rando goes, for me this was the right rando.
