Or add a huge red qualifier at the top indicating that, in light of info received since then, it's all unsubtle character-smearing bullshit and Something Awful doesn't recognize or endorse any of it as valid.

Or delete it. gently caress Lowtax.

i'm pretty sure a lot of modern forums software has built in "frontpage summary" functionality, so whatever we get will probably be baked into that.

I said this before when this first started going down and I swear I'm not being glib or sarcastic or anything, but I'm genuinely worried that he's going to hurt himself. It's very in keeping with his victim complex. "See what you made me do?"

Warner Bros covering its rear end for animated comedy that's aged like milk but which they aren't above monetizing is more honorable than our sweaty-toed former internet landlord's attempts to show He Was Right in abusing women and throwing them away like garbage.

I understand the second sentence but that first one. Did I miss lowtax coming out as a furry? Early SA he seemed pretty hell bent on harassing them.

I just mean that the whole endeavor of seeking out people you disapprove of in order to tell your buddies how bad they are is incredibly judgmental. I never picked up on the logic he used there being that it was right to hate them because they were sanctimonious, unlike the cool club for cool people who can laugh at themselves, which makes no sense at all.

there's a considerable vein of Goon Thought which hinges largely on the idea that we don't have to be good, we just have to laugh at the people who are bad. the people who centered that philosophy have since peeled off to the doxxing offsites, but it's still baked into a lot of our cultural DNA.

if not SA specifically, then the west at large.

Oh I wasn't being facetious I think that's what we should do, I just get annoyed at all the keyboard warriors who pat themselves on the back about this warning like they were the ones who came up with it.

He's too lazy and arrogant to be a real suicide risk, I think. It's not my area of expertise, but he seems pretty firmly rooted in the tactic of blaming others for his problems so that he can continue to ignore his problems. He wants praise and positive attention, so he'll play the victim in order to get that rather than to make anyone think he's weak. When he "blames himself" for anything it's really just another way to complimenting himself: "I'm just so darn trusting that people take advantage of me!"

With how cellphones get IPs it's virtually impossible to stop someone from driving to a different coverage area register a new account and post. I will laugh the hardest I ever have if lowtax spends kyoon levels of money on the forums.

Keeping these "wait 'till you hear all I have to say about my ex!!" articles up only perpetuates his abuse. They'd have to be the first to go.

Internet archieve sites should have that covered and are likely going to be a better source since technically they can now be changed to say whatever Jeff wants. But IANAL, I'll let Jeff / Legal handle it, do we have a new legal persona now that Lenard is probably dead?

typically if something is preserved with a disclaimer it's usually because someone could maybe argue that it serves some purpose in terms of culture or history to whatever degree. nothing that comes out of lowtax qualifies for this, especially the skidmarks he calls articles.

That's why you came to us. Isn't it, Wives of Lowtax? Because you knew we could do those things that you weren't capable of doing. Well, it worked. And you'll get what you want—a transfer of ownership of the website and forums between Richard and Jeffrey. And if your conscience is bothering you, you should soothe it with the knowledge that you may have just saved the entire Something Awful Forums. And all it cost was the authority of one lovely mod, one worthless administrator, and the self-respect of one absentee landlord. I don't know about you, but I'd call that a bargain.
