uh

among the mods of BNR are people who were floated as mods of CSPAM before being shut down because the people currently in charge of SA didn't trust them to play ball with all the dirty and stupid poo poo that happens behind the scenes here, which is about the strongest endorsement of those BNR mods possible

it doesn't matter if she's mentally unstable, it doesn't matter if she's an alcoholic, and it doesn't even matter if this one specific claim made was false

her behavior aligns with that of victims of long-term abuse, and Lowtax's behavior both in regard to this incident and the prior incidents is that of a compulsive abuser

yo if you're still giving him money maybe try giving to something like:

a women's shelter
Domestic violence charity
a bail fund
big tiddy Twitter leftist

anything but Tax, really

i think it's rapidly coming to the point that the only people still paying will be people who forgot about it

in general for charitable donations/work i focus on local women's shelters, they tend to be charities which are in constant need of donations/support and which directly support some of the most vulnerable people in your community

She's being accused of being an alcoholic (as an attempt to mitigate her victimhood, presumably), but that's basically an ad hominem in that her being a drunk doesn't preclude her being a victim of battery. Hell, an addict may be using to cope with the abuse or their abuser may be using the addiction to control the victim.

Good morning. Someone post the drat "I'LL NEVER TAKE A BATH" motocross pics.

Primer/Refresher for Anyone Interested

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 has since 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/

A major part of the skepticism is 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/1276000546902749185

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:

Donate! To RAINN!

Multiple underage rape accusations which, given Maynard's whole "thing," are way more likely to be true than not. The women didn't want to be identified though so of course nothing further will happen and everyone will just pretend it's all cool.

if I were conspiracy minded if think it odd that the staff of an off-site that's grown massively prior to this is getting slandered all the sudden and banned when they point it out

Even more so when there's a solid chance said slanderers are building their own off-site, but hey I'm not conspiracy minded. After all its not like the people directly complacent with abusive behavior would ever make themselves look like the only reasonable option right?

like every other time this happens it's not a conspiracy, it's just baby-brained morons on a power trip
