I've known for quite some time that VenomFangX aka Shawn has had some issues with his parents. What I did not know is that since then, his parents have both kicked him out of the house (he lives in some dorm now) and threatened to cut him off if his constant DMCA filings ever reach the courthouse in some manner. His father has also got in contact with several of his adversaries on Youtube to help monitor his activities, and finally released this statement.
I always wondered about born-agains and how they affect their family and friends. Now I do. Incredibly sad case if anything else.

My concern about VenomFangX's crackpottery has consumed seconds of my life. Seconds, I tell you.

I may not feel much for VFX, but I feel terrible for his parents.

Wow. I was never a 'fan' of VFX or any of his... opponents?... but I still know who he is and I continually shake my head at him. I thought he was just another crackpot Bible-humping freak--albeit one of the scarier ones, and paranoid out his fucking ears--but the reality of his situation is just so much sadder. I've got nothing else to say. It's just a sad situation all around. Good gracious.

Would someone please summarize the video statement, for those of us who cannot view/hear it? Thanks.

He claims that he, Thunderf00t, some guy named DVRJones*, & TheAmazingAtheist are all in contact with Shawn's parents. He goes on to say that Shawn's dodgy behavior is because he's living at his college dorm and his parents have threatened to cut him off financially. *=Shawn apparently got this guy's account suspended. It is interesting if true. YouTube is like some kind of nerdy Soap Opera.

But it wasn't clear to me whether this was intended to summarize the father's statement, or was just Ganja's personal impression of the overall situation. One could interpret it either way. ~David D.G.

Wait, this guy mentioned that VFX has a "condition" -- do we know what it is? (Other than being an idiot, that is.)

DPRJones
Shawn filled DMCAs against him, and unlike Shawn, this guy is a very real lawyer who ended up pawning Shawn, Shawn sucked ass to him trying to stop legal action, but DPR gave him 10 days to delete Shawn's account or face legal action against those false DMCAs, so shawn quit. No doubt he'll pop up ater as he always does
Cait You know he scammed money too right? He claimed he was running a charity drive for some group and ended up spending the money on tuition and a car for himself? Canadian authorities were not happy
Lol, wow, after leaving, shawn used his sock accounts to flag DPR's vids and filed another DMCA against him as of the 11th, just before this vid about his dad surfaced...and apparantly he's still filing DMCA's...I hope DPR goes through with the countersuits just so Shawn can be seen for the mental shithead he is and locked away in therapy

He claimed it was to go to some children's hospital, Canadian authorities shut down his website after learning about the scam...but it seems Shawn denies it like he claims the reason he's leaving all the time is because of death threats and continues asking for donations....which i'm sure the sheep that follow him are more than willing to give www.lousycanuck.ca/?p=739

For those of us not conversant with American legalism/nerd soap opera, what is a DMCA?

By DMCA, dasfuchs means an infringement of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
