I wanted to know how people are dealing with this loss. We believed in Lex in a positive way much as a child believes in Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, or The Tooth Fairy. Remember how you felt when that was taken away from you? I see that as sort of the same thing. We all wanted to believe something was real. Our clever friend who did Glorious Profile threads, who was a grammar and spelling freak, etc. Keep in mind he did not date those with children. He did not play with women's minds. There were good aspects to him as the character he wanted us to believe. Anger is one of the five stages of grief. I believe we are all grieving the loss of a friend though he was a front. How are you personally dealing with your loss, those of you who had become friends with him?


I was not friends with him. But it will make me be more wary of people with unclear pictures (or no pictures) and people who seem off for some reason.

Yes, this makes sense. She seemed to be saying they'd never get caught. That may not have been what she meant, though.


That is NOT what I am saying nor have I said. I said there are ways around things. Some do get caught...some don't

Right. As I just said, what Myka said makes sense.

I have told a few mods privately.

But to the rest of the mods, my deepest sympathies in losing someone who was a colleague and you thought of as a trusted friend. It is a very sad day for all of us and a huge shock.

I didn't know him on a personal/friend level as I do with some other members and mods, but he was a "co-worker" and I am furious.

I know there are good people out there (online and in real life) that pull me through

I remember lots of things he said.

1. the woman I'm looking for doesn't exsist.
2. women always try to change me, I just want to be me.
3. women on dating sites live too far away.

I don't think he was really into women, but just wanted a peaceful life.
When me and him talked I figured from his pic he was my age and he imformed me he was 10 years younger. So I right.

Life without Parole!

I agree. My sister was murdered and he is on death row now for 10 years when I watch him die it will probably be 15 years later geeesh what the family of the victim go through. I would like to see people dead after 5 years on death row 4 courts you got to go throught to get a date set. He has the Texas supreme court to go through and the US supreme court after that and these both can be appeaed that is 4 more years I know I will have to wait. explode

I hear about things like this on the news all the time. I'm too old to care about what any individual does anymore. Just another day at the zoo.

I'm floored, I'm pissed, I'm hurt. He flat out lied to me, a couple weeks ago when some random stranger sent me a FB message saying Lex was a pervert, but no info. I told the guy I wanted proof and then emailed Lex, and he said it was just someone from his screwy ex gf causing trouble.

It's basically slapped me in the face that those who you think are aboveboard aren't, and when online it's best to just keep it at a distance.

No, I'm not taking down my book reviews, since I reviewed the books for themselves, I did enjoy them, simple science fiction.


{And regarding comments about background checks, one of the CEO's of Yahoo stepped down this past week after it coming out that he had lied about his college info. One would assume a background check would have caught this before he was even hired back in January, but apparently not.)

Have to agree. This wouldn't be an issue if we just euthanized them. We can do it for other animals, for various reasons, I never get why it's such a big deal to do so for humans.

I think the point she is trying to make is that if someone REALLY wanted to be deceptive they could possibly find a way. Not necessarily that it would never be caught, just that it's possible it could go undetected for an unspecified amount of time.



THANK YOU Myka!!!!!!!!!!!!! flowerforyou


Sadly working in IT I know this sad story all too well... lots of tampering with things and deception can occur on a business level as well as a personal level for those with knowledge of how information is kept.

How am I dealing with it? I am like Eileen said beating myself up over this! Deep down I KNOW it is not my fault, but that Is how I deal, I for some reason blame myself for being SO stupid! Right now I am also trying to find everything thing I can about "KEITH WILLIS" I want to know who this MF IS and WAS. I really do hope that the press keeps us up to date about him.

It is amazing what you can find actually knowing a person's REAL name!

His inmate listing:

The listing states that he has a court case coming up on May the 30th. I REALLY hope that the press keeps us posted. SO many people have been effected by him that EVERYBODY deserves to know!

Sickens me even more by the ones defending someone so evil as to take the heart and soul out of an innocent child! Do you not get it? He molested children! He was convicted for that! He got off on seeing infants raped, beaten and in some cases killed!!! What is to defend? FEEL sorry for LEX???? NO WAY! That is not even his name for peats sake! Thats is not his AGE! He knew he was suppose to NOT have an alias because his red=gistration is what is suppose to PROTECT the public!!! He is an evil man. He has lied to everyone! He did not belong here! He knew that! Stop the pathetic excuses and sympathy for him before I UPCHUCK!!!!explode


This...nothing sickens me more than child molestation.

I appreciate the update.

"A former Crown Point man convicted in federal court of possessing child pornography is being investigated after Lake County police learned he had established a Facebook page, in violation of laws prohibiting sex offenders from participating in social networking sites."
