Lowtax how much do you want for the forums? I would like to formally roll SomethingSensitive and SomethingAwful into one big shit pile.
 
The reason people don't want to join Something Awful is that it is full of mentally ill alcoholics who think they are better than everyone else

You forgot the screeching troons and white people pretending to be black people. Sometimes even both!

No joke I d even go in on you to buy them or hey lowtax how much for just a copy of the database? So I can make my own vbulliton SA forum...with hookers and black jack.

Also how much for you to fire ZDR and FAU?
 
"Eight times more dangerous than Alex Jones". Another way to look at it is that Lowtax is eight times dumber than Alex Jones.

Rich is currently having another breakdown on Twitter, of all places. Yes he's back on Twitter, this time scrounging up an extremely old, forgotten about account called "@AwfulOffice" (https://twitter.com/AwfulOffice) (http://archive.li/QL2fP). It was created back in the day to document the antics of what went on at the Something Awful offices and was abandoned at some point in 2012. I followed it many years ago when I was interested in SA and had completely forgotten about it myself until these tweets surfaced on my timeline just a few minutes ago. It's definitely Lowtax if the writing style is anything to go off of and boy is he mad.

I screenshotted a few but they're still coming at a rapid pace.

On one hand, I want to report Lowtax for ban evading. On the other, I love watching him completely lose his mind 140 characters at time.

I just really love he had his "Waaaah a bloo bloo bloo I have no spine metaphorically or in reality" posts on SA about just wanting to be a jokeman and sexhaver raising his kids with no medical debt. Then proceeds to dig up an old twitter account for the gayest meltdown BanMe thread.

This won't be a popular opinion around here and I haven't been to SA in years (well, a decade and a half TBH) so I'm kinda out of the loop on a lot of SA history but I feel bad for Lowtax.

As someone said earlier, I feel bad for him in the exact same way you feel bad for someone who takes their wallet out of their pocket, holds it over a well, drops it in, and then says "Oh fuck! I just lost my wallet down this well!".

Which is to say, I empathize with having lost his wallet, but the dumbass is in a bad situation due to his own shit choices, so I don't feel all that terrible.

I don't see what's there to feel bad about Lowtax. He had a good opportunity but squandered it. He could have gotten some work a decade ago and would be much better off now. Or he could have tried to do something decent with the forums.

There are a lot of people in the world who have been destined to be screwed over but Lowtax is not one of them.
 
Lowtax is the cause of his own downfall. It's tragic that somebody is in the condition that he's in and in a vacuum with no other knowledge of the man, I would feel bad for him. But add in the context of him doing one thing in the 1990s and expecting that to pay him out for life, refusing to adapt and refusing to work for the last 20 years while simultaneously blowing his money like it grew on tress, any sympathy I might've had is long gone.
