The main issue that allowed all this poo poo to fester is that unless you were dialed in to lowtax himself, the only times you ever caught wind of it was the very public situations. Like i said when i apologized to LA, i mostly just figured lowtax as an idiot and was dating other idiots, and did not really look into it more than that. it was not until the most recent situation that i actually had the scale of his behavior revealed to me and it was loving atrocious.

It'll never really "end" so long as Lowtax is still online in some capacity under his handle(s) and/or posting about him is still permitted here. The only way there won't be an endless set of encores and echoes here on SA is if Richiepoo just fucks off from the internet and social media forever, which as had been mentioned earlier is very unlikely given his lack of real-world job skills and apparent egomania/narcissism; or if our new overlords implement a hard rule banning any discussion about him, which is not unprecedented since there has been one semi-in-place for pretty much any CWC/Sonichu stuff when the pepper-spraying an EB Games went down (and the CWC stalking wiki was at its peak but before it became KiwiFarms).

And speaking of Helldump 2.0 Festering and Amplified and Worse...that place, so long as it exists, is going to be the wildcard that always beats any attempts for online pariahs to fade away. Hell, last time I went on a safari there (in December when the FYAD vs Troons stuff was in full swing and Lowtax had gone from welcome poster in their Shmorky stalking thread to being the target-subject of his very own one), they were still actively posting in the thread they had about the guy who was obsessed with a one-off cartoon character and guns who tried to make his own disturbing webtoons about suicide ghost teenage girls, and in the end became another suicide spree shooter at his grocery store stockboy job. Despite his rampage/death taken place literal years ago.

Yeah, you can bet that the most definite final online fate for Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka will be whatever else is posted about him at KF. Even if he continues his transitions to the incel/MGTOW/whatever circles like that podcast appearance earlier this year, eventually that will dry up or he will die, whichever comes first, but KF has shown that mortality won't stop them shitposting on their favorite targets. And Lowtax was 100% one of their (newer) faves long before the straw that broke the camel's back was dropped.

I kinda want future site donations to subtract from, instead of add to, the current donation tag amount, to give incentive to atone for donating money to Richard.

For example, I have the $5 tag. If I gave $125 post-sale, that would get changed to a -$120 tag, where anything less than $0 looks much cooler than the random word crap they came with before.
I like this idea. I donated to the forums to keep them running because I was given to understand that they were in dire need of cash.

Said it before and will say it again-- if they were even remotely serious about announcing a new age for the forums, nuking Burt would go a very loving long way. I've seen people much more innocent made an example of for political reasons. This is the rare case where it would be a net benefit for literally everyone involved who isn't already a personal friend to Burt.
