During the 2016 election anyone who toxxed for Hillary was told by the mod team that they would just be probated instead since it was a lot of people and a crazy happening etc

Lowtax decided he wanted that cash and told the mod to ban them anyways. So I had to spend $20 to get everything back

So gently caress him I guess

this place would be better if all the politics posters were permabanned

and there would be fewer street shootings too

Yeah truth be told I never found much of Lowtax's writing that funny, though I never said so out of general courtesy. Too much of it boiled down to endless riffs on "look how stupid [site/person/thing] is"; I've certainly composed my share of that stuff both here and elsewhere, but it's pretty low-hanging fruit imo. I don't find it inspiring to write and I'd rather compose fuckin Hallmark cards than have to crank it out daily like he did

I'm one of the oldest goons out there (turn 78 next month) and I'm not sure how to feel about this news. I met Lowtax three or four times over the years and he always seemed like a nice enough dude, so hearing about all this reprehensible behavior that's been disclosed over the last couple years has been dispiriting. It's always hard to weigh personal experiences vs poo poo you read online. My response has been pretty apathetic. Sucks he was an rear end in a top hat, thanks for the website, condolences to the family

how low do your balls hang

It's pretty sad to see people falling all over each other ITT to try to out-insult each other about a suicidally depressed dead man with children who may read this some day. Especially when it's a bunch of unfunny FYAD-wannabe poo poo. Post-irony got old and boring 15 years ago but it's interesting to see the carcass still being kicked around here.

Anyway, thanks for the memories, SomethingAwful. Had some great times here back in the day. Good luck to everybody trying to make it through a tough world.
