Jim and Debbie published four issues of their zine before running afoul of authorities with #4 (the "Rape Issue") which was discovered for sale at The Newsstand International by a young woman attending in Bellingham, who passed it on to a battered women's shelter. The Newsstand was acquitted of trafficking obscenity, primarily because the prosecutor couldn't prove the sellers knew ANSWER Me! was obscene. During the trial, the DA told the jury that "Basically, it tells you how to rape everyone".[1] In actuality, though different contributors (notably Randall Phillip and Shaun Partridge) advocated rape, no expository explanation for rape existed.

ANSWER Me! was also blamed for the suicides of three British youths in 1996 and for Francisco Martin Duran's rifle assault on the White House in 1994. (Duran quoted a line from the magazine in a note he'd left in his van before firing 29 rounds at the White House.)

In June 1997 Debbie Goad learned that she had ovarian cancer.Jim and Debbie Goad divorced in December 1997. In 1998, he was arrested for beating his then-girlfriend Anne Sky Ryan, who had left several death threats on his answering machine (all documented on jimgoad.net) and against whom he had filed a restraining order. He pled guilty and served a prison term. He was released in October 2000.

Goad has authored four books: The Redneck Manifesto, wherein he explores issues of class in modern America; Shit Magnet, his autobiography (written while in prison); ANSWER Me!: The First Three (a compilation of the magazine's first three issues), and Jim Goad's GIGANTIC BOOK OF SEX, an anthology of his post-prison writings for sex magazines.

For years Goad has been promising works ranging from an encyclopedia about race to a definitive story of the origins of NASCAR, but these works have yet to materialize.

He maintains a website which has an archive of his old articles and new items. Scapegoat Publishing published an expanded reprint of ANSWER Me!: The First Three in 2006. Feral House published Jim Goad's GIGANTIC BOOK OF SEX in April 2007. Goad currently lives in Atlanta, GA with his wife Shannon. They are expecting a boy soon whom they have already named Zane Thaddeus Goad. In early June of 2008, Goad was diagnosed with a plum sized brain tumor that has a low probability of being cancerous.

Debra Susan Rosalie "Debbie" Goad (b. February 13, 1954, Brooklyn, New York - d. July 2000, Multnomah, Oregon) was the co-editor, with (her husband) Jim Goad, of the misanthropic magazine ANSWER Me!. Jim and Debbie divorced around the same time she was diagnosed with cancer. She also contributed to the zine Temp Slave!

She died in July 2000, aged 46, from ovarian cancer in Multnomah, Oregon. Her mother had died from the same disease.[citation needed]. She reportedly wished to be cremated, but her brother Mitchell, an NYC doctor, reportedly could not locate her will at the time of her death and interred her next to their mother's grave.[citation needed
