I didn't think I would have to explain, I figured the last line of my post made it clear I was being sarcastic. But I'll just throw out my sincere take if you're at all interested:
I don't believe what Lorne says about Dale, so I can't be definitive on whether he's a good person or not. If what Lorne said about him is generally accurate, then Dale is a dirtbag for taking his son-in-law's wife. Beyond that, I don't think being "inattentive" because you're working to support a gang of gremlins in a house you built makes you a bad dad, especially to kids that weren't yours to begin with. The only part of Lorne's story that damns Dale if it is true, and that's a big if, is taking Roy's wife. That's absolutely abhorrent and would have been abhorrent irrespective of Lorne and his upbringing. That woman is also a real piece of work.
Someone on the forum—I believe it was awwwjeez—did some digging and confirmed the story about Dale and Roy’s wife, so we’re not just going on Lorne’s word here. Dale is a verifiable cunt. And people don’t just wake up on a random morning and become that horrible; if they’re willing to pull some shit like that, they’ve always been a cunt. Dude was never committed to the family. That’s why I’m willing to believe Lorne on this particular claim. Like I said above, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Even your cited Dale praise was incredibly mild or was sarcasm you missed. And Dale and Roy's wife hooking up doesn't mean he was actively abusing children years and years before.
You're falling into the same trap as people who follow the "pedophilia is bad thing, Lorne is a pedophile so Lorne does all the bad things". Yeah Dale is a doucuebag for cucking his stepson, but that doesn't inherently mean he was abusive when Roy was younger. That's 100% just you doing some head Canon. Fucking an adult woman you shouldn't be fucking isn't the same thing as abusing your step kids.
At this point I'd even accept you citing Lorne but I don't think even he has anything he cries about besides not having a sex tawk with Dale and his claims that he did nothing, which he himself disproved at various times.
