No witch hunt. Just common sense advice to people. Some may be harmless. More often than not, if they can't show a pic of themself alarms should be raised. I just said I would not have anyone in my friends list that can't post a pic. I can't and don't try to control what other people do. I can state my opinion on the matter , though. And I see NO PIC as a problem. I understand your concern but I started emailing with a man from here who had no pic. He gave me his phone number and asked me to text him so he could send me a picture. I did and he turned out to be a nice looking guy. We dated for 3 months and are still friends but the 2 hour distance and our work schedules made dating tough. So I would not rule someone out just because they have no picture posted.

I was thinking that too,, once you 'like' someone, its not difficult to just ask them for their picture.

Yellowrose, as I said, I had no issue with what you wrote. I was just expanding a bit. Alrighty I was just giving a couple of reasons why I do not want a picture up. You've already explained that and I said I had no issue with that. And then I explained when/why I expect pictures. That was not saying you needed to have one.

That's awesome that it worked out well. I don't give out additional contact information for pictures. I share them in my profile, so I expect the same from anyone I'd consider meeting.

Just a heads up for those looking for more profiles of Keith Willis. He also used the name Lowell Panadecker- a character from one of his books. I know it was his messenger ID for awhile and I have found profiles for mylife.com and reunion.com. I can't see his profiles since I am not a member of either.

If you are really worried about a person not supplying their real picture, ask for a picture of them holding up a sign that says "Mingle".

my point is the pictures he had may or may not have been used by him for his personal entertainment. i don't know if he even had any since his conviction in the early 2000's. what is clear to me is that he failed to register. if he was sneaking around waiting for an opportunity to strike or sneaking around because many people in today's society are unwilling to let him attempt to live a normal life is unclear. his day in court is coming and hopefully justice will be served It doesn't matter if he used them for his personal entertainment or not. In light of his previous conviction, it would be a fair assumption to think so. But, it doesnt matter. CHILD PORN is ILLEGAL. And, he had his chance to reenter society with the stipulation that he follow the rules set forth, which he did not. This is why he is back in jail. His own doing. Not societies. We don't owe him the benefit of the doubt. He owes the public. It is up to HIM to prove to society that he is safe to be among us. He has failed miserably. what makes you believe that Predators like him would lead a "Normal Life" if Society would let them? an assumption is never fair. if you think i am giving him a benefit of doubt on what he has done, then let me say that i am not. i simply am not dwelling on his (or anyone's) past. the past is unchangeable. if his house was raided and pictures were found, than i could see how he was up to his same old tricks. he failed to report. that doesn't mean he had pictures, was using pictures, or had thoughts about pictures, it means he failed to report. why he didn't comply, only he knows. when he has his day in court we might get to find out, or he may plea bargain and get lost in the system again society looks down on convicted felons who are trying to get their lives in order. twenty, thirty, even forty year old convictions haunt these men and women all their lives. even if they do their time and "pay their debt to society" it never ends for them. has former president bush lived down his dui conviction? will he ever? for some, once a felon always a felon

On what grounds should we give him the benefit of the doubt? As for paying his debt to society, that's just not possible. His evil will linger as long as those girls he molested (including any he might have molested without being caught) are in this world. Possibly longer, as the neuroses they developed as a result of their victimization might be passed down to their children in one way or another. Pedophilia is also a crime that reproduces sexually, the act itself can produce more pedophiles. The victim can become the victimizer. If "Lex" produced more child predators, how can his debt to society ever be paid? It's simply not possible by any stretch of the imagination.

He had plenty of time to destroy evidence of any new crimes he committed. In other words, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
