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/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:

This is the most absurd thing of it all to me is, all Lowtax had to do is not be an abusive gently caress and he could continue to coast and nobody would have cared beyond grumbling and some frustrations. The bar was set so low that it was "Don't beat your wives and abuse your kids, 3 times." and he couldn't even clear that.


MRA response from Lowtax?

I think it's the FB status that is (paraphrasing): "Not to go all MGTOW but family court is stacked against men and that sucks." Which is sad because while that is literally true (and also family court in the US is full of loving vulture lawyers whose MO is to drag poo poo out as long as possible for more money) it doesn't change the fact that this is kind of a perfect example of a situation where family courts are going to help and not hurt. Hopefully. Who knows.

Basically, he's a lovely person who is going to have to deal with a lovely system that is biased against him on a good day. But also he haymakers, gaslights, and stalks the people closest to him while admitting no wrong-doing so

Do you think Lowtax has some sort of dead man's switch set up for the forums?

If so:
1. What does he intend it to do?
2. What will it really do given the poo poo rear end coding we've seen over the last 20 years?

Leave it to loving Lowtax to exterminate all human life while trying to spite this internet 1.0 relic. The unban everyone who got perma'd code will be the thing that kills us all somehow.

Given the news that he is leasing a new GTR, this is believable. It also shows a steady ramp in value too (base A8 ~$90k, 911 Carrera S ~$115k, GTR ~$120k). So he was having a "sky is falling" fiscal meltdown a year or two ago while driving a 911? He consistently says the site/forums are only scratching an average living while leasing high end cars? Either he is a liar or beyond terrible with finances. Or both.

I'm really really glad that I never gave him money for his financial begging thing.

Yeah, kind of important to remember that the reason this poo poo's been enabled for so long is that people form unhealthy parasocial relationships with sad webmasters because they think webmaster/mod/admin = community and that community gives them purpose. SA, by and large, has stood by him and his staff through many bad situations (dozens worse than just an embarassing PowerPoint), and I'd like to think that the pivot most of the community's taken will lead people to better evaluate the asses they kiss in the future.

Probably won't though.

What?! You mean the obviously coerced video was coerced? I don’t understand. What about all those people asking why we didn’t believe her recantation?I am so confused. Who do I believe? The abuse victim, or all the people giving her side eyes because they don’t know what abuse looks like? What a conundrum!

Also, “Physical Assault [Adult]” is the low-key, very depressing star of that photograph.

even if purely for the sake of argument it wasn't at all coerced then you're still left with a video of someone really upset that their behavior stemming from their mental illness that lowtax explicitly sought out affected him adversely
