Inactive Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka - Deadbeat (emphasis on "Dead") founder of Something Awful, forced out of his own community, on his second divorce, stuck his dick in crazy, "Birth Giver"

[Poop Shoot]

Not surprised another man murdered himself instead of taking care of his responsibilities. And he writes it like he’s somehow the wronged party,

 

[repentance]

the guy was trying to get help from a "medical professional" while suicidal and they refused to help due to his blood pressure being high.

That's the Lowtax version filtered through his father. In reality, he probably went to the psych for stimulants and high blood pressure is sufficient reason to not prescribe them. If he'd showed signs of being actively suicidal, the psych could have initiated a 72 hour hold. Mumtax was a lawyer and enough of a dragon that she would have taken legal action if there was evidence that the psych had failed in his duty of care.

Lowtax had been telegraphing his intention to kill himself if he lost the court case and Ashli claimed to have warned his mother.

 

[Chapalapachapa]

The SA trannies and faggots have said anytjing about this new information?

 

[Kulee Baba]

From a forensic perspective, suicide notes are usually short, practical and to the point. Only cluster B trannies planning to fail to kill themselves write 17 page purple prose screeds about the angst and turmoil of their oh so pathetic lives. When you've actually made the decision to go through with it all you can really think about is "The door's unlocked. Please feed my cat. I hope the mess won't disturb anyone. Here's my bank account info."

Yeah, I think the only famous pretentious suicide note was Kurt Cobain’s which just showed how long he was toying with it and wanting to go out on an emotional note. Hunter S Thompson’s was short and too the point, “I’m old, I don’t have any fun anymore. Just do it this won’t hurt.” Not the exact note but it was something like that.

 

[Amerikaner Teddybär]

Even in death, Lowtax is a selfish cunt.

 

[BALLZ-BROKEN MkII]

Can't believe we got LowT's suicide note before Rekieta's bodycam footage...

 

[Bonesjones]

Anyone got the old poster Malign's banme to Lowtax?

 

[The Taco Santo!]

On the bright side, nothing keeping Keep It Real from rejoining SA now. And he couldn't make the site any worse, after all.

 

[Bird Law]

Lowtax was a total piece of shit. The entire internet pissed on his e-grave when he killed himself.
Wonder if his Asian ex-wife is single.

 

[repentance]

He would have come up with a plan to pay back the money, and tried to get visitation or custody rights restored. (Or he would have never made many of the decisions that led him up to this inflection point, because he'd have the conscience to realize it would be bad for his daughters to do such things...)

He had visitation with his kids. He was supposed to have Sloane (the youngest) for Christmas the year he killed himself. There were tensions with the other two girls, but Lauren made a heart-breaking post following his death which suggested she blamed herself to some degree.

Lowtax did not want to live a life where he was not special, and he had literally no skills he could use to earn even a modest income. Once he had no option but to sell SA, there was only one way the whole drama was ever going to end.

 

[The Taco Santo!]

Who is he requesting avenge his death and seek retribution in the last part?

At the time of his suicide basically everyone hated him, I don't think he had a single friend or ally left.

I hoped his PS would be "Avenge Me Shmorky".

 

[Maradontia]

-As @Throwing Romans already stated, the report confirmed he had offed himself with the FN5.7, but it also mentioned two gun cases were sitting on his bed. One for the 5.7, and another for an unspecified rifle. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little curious about what the rifle was and/or why he chose the 5.7 over that.

Do you realize how hard it is to kill yourself with a rifle? You'd have to use your toe.

 

[Dagger Dragger]

I expected to read the note and at least feel a pang of  something, be it sadness, or a little sympathy or even anger. Instead, he somehow managed to write something so full of self-pity, weakness and childish bitterness that I'm even more glad he pussied out. Nothing of value was lost.

 

[repentance]

Re Dadtax confusing the wives. The police reports related to the domestic violence confused the parties at times, so it's possible that the police, rather than Dadtax, got the details wrong.

 

[AnOminous]

Once he had no option but to sell SA, there was only one way the whole drama was ever going to end.

Or he could have grown a fucking pair, kept it, purged the mods, gotten rid of any troons who couldn't behave themselves, and maintained a reasonable income. But that would involve doing something more than nothing.

 

[Dr J]

Despite being the deadbeat, pill-addled abusive piece of shit that he was, he was better off alive for his children than dead.

Strongly disagree. The piece of shit was willing to kill himself rather than support his children. He was of no use to them financially and emotionally it really is for the best that he's not around to continue damaging them

 

[Amateur Shoelace Tyer]

Upon the arrival of Jackson County Missouri Medical Examiner Investigator Melissa
Failing

The lady responsible for looking at his dead retarded body and saying "yup, looks like he shot himself" being named "Failing" is profoundly funny.

 

[BOLDYSPICY!]

Do you realize how hard it is to kill yourself with a rifle? You'd have to use your toe.

And we all know how sweaty they were. He'd keep slipping off the trigger.

 

[Uber driver reviewer]

Do you realize how hard it is to kill yourself with a rifle? You'd have to use your toe.

And if he was sweaty, he might miss and blow his powdered spine out instead of his brain.

Richard,
It seems I have underestimated your ability to fail. For that, I apologize. Not to you, but to the people who would enjoyed seeing me tearing your little world apart just that much more. It's a shame, really, that you ignored all of my warnings. Perhaps, if you had just a few brain cells left that weren't circling the bowl, you would have realized how pointless and counterproductive this whole thing was and quit a long time ago. This little venture of yours has failed on every level. On a personal level, for example, have you noticed that the very people you profess to hate have infested your site? They are utterly devoid of reason, their minds deluded with lies and ignorance. Their perceptions are hard-coded in a language they will never understand. Yet, these empty shells have flocked here, and what's even more amusing about it is, they emulate you. They've taken the worst things about you, namely your personality and humor, and twisted it into something far more repugnant than even you are capable of being. One bad joke becomes one thousand hideous hybrids, and it spreads like a virus. This is your audience, Richard, and they love you. That isn't very important, though. I am sure you don't care, as long as they're lined up at the trough. What is important, however, is this.

I would guess that you take as much enjoyment as anyone might at seeing these ridiculous business models fail like the insane fantasies they were. The pseudo reality of Internet commerce has finally been perceived for what it is, and the only people left are those who were lucky, smart or both. Now, being exposed to so much talk of this, for what, like over a fucking year now, have you ever stopped to consider how you ever came to the conclusion that a parasite like yourself could possibly hope to survive in this environment? The corporate tit is gone, and you are completely incapable of surviving on your own. You think these failed companies had stupid business models? How about yours? I knew the advertising market was going to collapse years ago, because it's based on the assumption that banners are effective. Think about it.. You are entirely dependant on advertising.. yet, the people you try to attract are people who aren't going to click on, let alone buy whatever stupid crap that is being advertised. I am sure most of the clicks you have gotten have been sympathy clicks. Did you actually think that it was going to last forever? Everybody knows it doesn't fucking work, and most sites have to beg their readers to click, just to pay the server bill. Did you think corporations weren't going to notice that no one was buying their products? You're an idiot, Richard, and I sincerely mean that. The contemptuously stupid decisions you made regarding the various networks you joined don't matter at all because the entire idea was flawed from the start. Enjoy your last moments as a free man. You'll soon be shovelling shit for the rest of your life at some nameless corporation, a vacant look forever etched upon your face.

Years from now, when you're no better off than when you started, when it finally hits you that it's all been nothing but a wasted lie, think of me. Think of me, Richard, and when you do, realize that I was the only beacon of logic and truth in this sad menagerie. You seem predestined for failure, however, so I doubt there is anything one can do for you. Just remember, when the joy is gone, when you're clawing at the boundaries of your little world, you always had a choice.
