so it got lost in the noise, but apparently the 'unprobates' that kicked this shit off were initially blamed on 'ZDR' (zen death robot) because he didn't know that the two posters had been permabanned before. and so much was happening that I couldn't really stop to analyze, but this basically makes no fucking sense whatsoever.
This is the same guy Lowtax publicly accused of stealing from him and making off like a bandit, and he never retracted that, so why would he have any power at all unless it was through some sort of backdoor he left, and if that were the case, why the fuck would he care if the posters had been permabanned before?
not only was Lowtax blatantly lying (he changed his story later and said Jeffrey of YOSPOS unprobated the posters), but there's now further doubt that his claims about ZDR were ever even true. A lot of his own users don't believe it, and while they're biased, the fact Lowtax has been very willing to throw mods under the bus to save face is very apparent, even though supposedly he came back to try to take the blame.
He's an even bigger liar than I thought. Given FAU's mental breakdown and ZDR just fucking vanishing and, according to many goon's testimonies, doesn't even want to be reminded of the forum's existence, his wife that used to ADORE him just disappearing off the face of the earth, and evidence of his daughter trying to get him to repent for his sins (which I completely believe now given how much it fits with what he's said), I find it harder and harder to think of him as a hapless victim of his moderation team and more as an increasingly unstable chronic liar whose main goal is to do whatever it takes to continue sitting on his ass for all eternity... at least until something gets under his skin.
