I think that he shouldn't be considered if for no other reason than his post Katrina cash grab / PayPal fiasco.
He deserves the level of hell reserved for that.
What the hell? He was offering SA merchandise in exchange for people donating to Katrina victims, Paypal didn't believe him and froze the account, and everyone got a refund. How the hell is that a cash grab? Do you really think he was just planning to pocket it?
The problem was that he offered merch to make it look like a purchase so that he was actually the one accepting the money and in turn making the donation.. a donation that he would write off personally.
Not his intention? Too bad, he had an opportunity to help people and do so totally above board, but he chose not to.
So the black mark is on him, not PayPal, and not the people who donated.
Also charging for his forums and then not telling you that search is not included until you try and use the function and then making a joke about how he's extorting money from you (it's on the page, you can look it up) is not anyone that I would want associated with something I love so much.
The interview thing was even a disaster (unless the whole skype noise thing was a joke to make room for the title of the Rifftrax to be "bleeped" out, but even then I'm sure that was hatched by our boys, and not him).
I enjoy the content on his site, and I hear he even pays some of the better writers, but generally I have nothing but ire for Lowtax.
