Topic: A very unfortunate matter concerning a Mingle2 moderator | |

Even the worse person has a good side. Lex definitely had his. He purposely avoided children if you recall. He is still a published author. He really did live in Crowne Point IN. He really did love to joke around in Glorious Profiles. And he was a fanatic about spelling and grammar. Those parts of Lex were real. Him saying he tried to avoid children did not mean he actually tried to avoid children. I don't see how that is even possible Emily. All he lied about his name, age, sexual history and the fact that he was a child predator, he couldn't have lied about anything else, ever. |

It's a good personality trait to seek the positive in others....
I like to do it too. There are some situations where we are exempt from it. Every time I try to feel sorry for the guy i get an image of a mutilated, raped, dead baby girl..and him jacking off to it. That kinda ruins it for me. |

But yet at the same time, I feel that my best friend just died. Even as I type I am in tears.
That's exactly how I felt, when I discovered some dark truths about someone that I cared about. Sure some may see it as crying over a pedophile. But really we know this person as somebody other then Keith Willis. Keith Willis is not what Lex Fonteyne portrayed himself as. I cry over the character Keith Willis gave us. And THAT character was a friend to us all. But at the same time I am also crying over the truth. THANK YOU! I hope it doesnt cause you to get unfriended too, but hopefully you have better friends then that. I see your true colors, shining through. -Cyndie Lauper You know what? If I get unfriend, then so be it, I do not really come here anymore as it is. I am really here for this thread, and this thread alone. As my way of trying to deal with it. If people want to unfriend for having different views and opinions, then really were they true friends to begin with? EXACTLY what I said, and, Thank you for understanding. |

I dont think anyone is feeling "sorry for the guy", we are sorry for the loss of what we thought was a good man, and a great friend, and the harsh reality we now face. |

I'm just not sure how anyone is assuming anything he's said was true. |

People should feel and grieve as they see fit. There are just so many different factors in the way people feel. Some people knew him on a friend level, some on a professional level (like me), some loved the Lex they thought they knew, some hated the Lex they thought they knew and some just didn't know him at all....not to mention personal experiences someone may have had in their lives. Way too many factors for everyone to feel the exact same. I certainly don't think anyone is condoning what he has done.
I feel pity for the child he once was before whatever happened, to turn him this way, happened. I am angry over who he is now. I feel sorry for those that once called him friend and the grieve they feel over losing someone they thought they knew. I may not agree with how some people feel, but that is how people feel. My feelings on all of this are my own. We feel what we feel. I tend to agree with Ladylid's vampire analogy *edit to add* There are monsters every where...on line and in real life. Many have never been caught yet. A lot of times it's the last person you would suspect |

R.I.P. Lex Fonteyne
As I can see from reading these posts, Lex had a special relationship with each of us that communicated regularly with him. For me, he always gave me his best advice as an author, and constantly supported and encouraged me to follow my dream of becoming a successful writer. I really appreciated that! Sadly, he is gone forever now, so I think we should just lay him to rest and bury the idea of who we "thought" he was...because he never really existed to begin with! |

Pretty safe bet he's not the only pedophile here, or facebook... he just happened to be a mod and targeted by his local tv station. Sucks for him. |

Every time I try to feel sorry for the guy i get an image of a mutilated, raped, dead baby girl..and him jacking off to it. That kinda ruins it for me. I'm sure if I tried hard enough, I could find some perfectly edible corn in a pile of cow dung, that doesn't mean I'm going to dig around in there and eat them. I don't hate him or wish him harm, I just want him to be locked up forever. He obviously has mental problems, he probably comes from an abusive home. I'm sure he put on a show of being a "good man". Well...er...I don't know how people got that impression. I looked through his posts months ago and asked him why fully 1/3 of his posts were disparaging about women. He was a bigot against Christians, telling me in an email that almost all of the problems in the forums are caused by Christians. The mask he wore was a bigoted misogynist. |

I don't hate him either and I'm sure he and his brother have seen some horrible things..but like the vampire, they are not innocent little boys anymore. |

Let me explain this to the "He was EMPHATIC that he didn't want a woman with kids" people. Keith aka Lex and his girlfriend raped three girls. Criminals don't evolve much, it's not in their nature to get better, only worse. So while Keith was whining that he wanted to find a woman who "didn't want to change him" and a woman who was like his ex, maybe he was just looking for another female partner to lure in little girls to be raped by him? But let's look for the "shades of gray". He raped a little girl and went to prison in 1990. He got out and raped more little girls in 1991 and went back to prison for several years. He got out and was later caught with his house full of toys to lure in little girls and tens of thousands of pictures of child pornography. He then went back to prison, came out and made up "Lex Fonteyne". He lied about his age. He used at least two false identities on dating websites. He wore a baseball cap and sunglasses at work, he was trying to hide his identity. He knew he was breaking the law and I will bet you that he left that vacuum cleaner shop, got rid of his kiddie porn and took off for Chicago. He KNEW he was busted. Spider, we don't know if he raped the three girls or not. I looked up the definition of aggravated sexual assault and it describes several things including oral sex. I'm not saying that oral sex with the girls is good because it's awful. We do know that he did something bad to them but we don't know for sure if it was rape. The link I posted from Chicago tribune said they were raped. I have not said anything on here that I could not show a news link, sex offender registry link, or rap sheet link to. I refuse to argue apples or oranges, or even argue at all. He is in jail. Where he belongs. That is good :) I'm not arguing with you. Yes, he does belong in jail. I missed that link but I've found it now. They're saying that he sexually assault the child and later she came back with two other girls. I'm just trying to figure out what the legal meaning of "aggravated sexual assault" is and I'm seeing that it could mean several things. I read somewhere else that he only got seven years. That's so little time for that. I have a friend who married a man when her daughter was a toddler. He had "sex" several times with that daughter when she was a pre-teen. He got 30 years. This happened about five years ago. |

That's exactly how I felt, when I discovered some dark truths about someone that I cared about. Sure some may see it as crying over a pedophile. But really we know this person as somebody other then Keith Willis. Keith Willis is not what Lex Fonteyne portrayed himself as. I cry over the character Keith Willis gave us. And THAT character was a friend to us all. But at the same time I am also crying over the truth. Edit: by 'relationship' I mean 'friendship' During the time you had a relationship with 'Lex', you didn't know he was a pedophile. Discovering that someone isn't who you thought he was doesn't instantly change the mark that being close to t1hat person leaves on you. There is a process that most of us go through to adjust to that reality. Intellectually we can see that the person we thought we knew never really existed, but emotionally some of us experience it as the death of someone that we knew. 'Lex' was important to you, its totally understandable that you need to mourn the real loss of a friend. |

Even the worse person has a good side. Lex definitely had his. He purposely avoided children if you recall. He is still a published author. He really did live in Crowne Point IN. He really did love to joke around in Glorious Profiles. And he was a fanatic about spelling and grammar. Those parts of Lex were real. Him saying he tried to avoid children did not mean he actually tried to avoid children. I don't see how that is even possible Emily. All he lied about his name, age, sexual history and the fact that he was a child predator, he couldn't have lied about anything else, ever. Like on this profile: http://www.okcupid.com/profile/XenonBaboon/ He's saying he's looking to meet girls between the ages of 18-25. Does that mean he's looking for someone with kids because many women do have them that young or does it mean that they haven't had kids yet? |

OPINION: Why do we continue to talk about all this stuff. Let it all be dead & buried. All the talk just prolongs the end. Somebody should have put a "end" to this years ago.
