I see this narrative from some ex-goons who like to say that lowtax was uniquely responsible for every bad part of that forum's culture, but I remember the webcomics thread and creative convention were snake pits and lowtax barely touched them
Reformed into what though? Goons are still goons, even here. Aged goon, certainly. Reformed? Goons were right about the Internet making you stupid we just didn't include ourselves in that you and we really should've.
