if lowtax’s widow said she felt like lowtax had possessed me based on my behavior I’d throw every internet connected device I own in a pit

      It’s an article going over the history of ‘lowtax’ who was the creator of Something Awful forums. The short version is Something like:

      Low tax creates SA, consumes way too much of it and becomes chronically online and starts having general freak outs on the forums. Then, domestic abuse charges are discovered by the forums, sparking outrage. Then lowtax commits sudoku.

      I guess the context here is that people are mad at one of the bluesy owners/creators, so we’re implying that they’re making the same mistakes that lowtax did.
