Debated on whether or not to even make this topic, but I figured someone here might want to know.

By all accounts he was a terrible man and I wont pretend otherwise. Still I wish it hadn't come to this
I feel bad for the people he left behind.

I didn't know much about Lowtax, but I used to love Something Awful back in college. Photoshop Friday was a thing of glory 20 years ago.

Last year he did yeah. When allegations came out against him.
From what I can tell this might have happened because of a divorce courtcase.

It's hard to overstate the impact he ended up having on American culture... check
