When it comes to the ban evading, convicted pedophile on Twitter that I’ve mentioned…

· a well check was indeed done on him by his local police department for the things he had been posting online, and he was explicitly told by name or alias who not to harass and to stop posting grotesque stories of people abusing or molesting their children or people’s children being abused or molested… he only complied with this for a week before getting right back to what he had been doing in the first place

· he made fun of his local police department at one point for actually coming out and performing the well check, and then made fun of police in general in a conversation about this (does this surprise anyone?)

· his Twitter account was locked for twelve hours for posting gratuitously violent images with no warning

He is now attempting to goad people into livestreaming or recording them calling his local police department in what seems to be a transparent attempt to get people’s Twitch and YouTube accounts banned under the false pretenses of doxxing. Never mind the fact that his identity, criminal conviction, and location were confirmed by his local police department doing at least one of these checks and there being no reason to doubt that as many people have called them or filed reports have done so… he just wants to start even more shit for the sake of starting shit. As the saying goes, I may have been born at night but it wasn’t last night.

Meanwhile, I continue to be pleased with the fact that his local police department is taking this more seriously than Twitter has and that they’ve done at least one of these checks so far. My concern was that it might have taken them a bit longer to get the ball rolling because so many of these concerns were voiced by people living in other states (and in one or two cases, other countries), so I’m glad that the concern of them taking too long to do anything or not doing it at all was put to rest. However, at one point amidst all of this he very clearly stated that he wanted to “execute (abortion providers)”, and I’m hoping that the seriousness of that statement alone was aptly conveyed to his local police department. I literally do not want to turn the local or national news on one day and find out this guy has made the news for pulling a loaded weapon out.

So for those of you who might have been… following along with my posts in here, I’ve been working with other people trying to get a ban evading, convicted pedophile who has returned to Twitter suspended once again. However, that seems to be more difficult to actually do than some people might have thought, as even under Musk Twitter would much rather shadowban his account to the point of being very difficult to find but not suspend, even though it clearly states in Twitter TOS that one is not allowed to make new accounts when any of their accounts have been permanently suspended, getting to the ban evasion bit of the whole ban evading, convicted pedophile thing. Twitter has been given proof of this man’s identity and criminal conviction by at least twenty people now if not more than twenty people, as there have been people… keeping tabs on him whenever he does pop up on Twitter in the hopes that they can keep him suspended and, in doing so, make Twitter safer for minors to use. But to continue to complicate matters, he’s still on Twitter — he’s insinuated that he will use burner phones to continue to give himself access to Twitter as more and more of his accounts are suspended, too — and he had been making a point out of publicly Tweeting grotesque stories of people’s children being abused or molested, or them abusing or molesting children, feeding into the very same sick thing that landed him a criminal conviction. He’s truly sick and vile.

However.

Through his interactions with me on Twitter, all of whom have been unwanted (remember, he’s the one who has threatened to ban evade into perpetuity, and he is also not above making accounts to evade people’s decisions to block him, which he’s already done at least once with a new account on top of the one he’s primarily been using to ban evade), reports have actually been made to his local police department about the vile things he’s been saying. One report was made by a mandated reporter whose job requires that he report such content that he sees, and this person’s grotesque stories certainly fit the bill as something needing to be reported. A few other reports were made about those same vile stories as well, with people expressing concern that he was… for lack of a better way to put it, blatantly doing this, blatantly and publicly saying these things online. Not too long ago I had the pleasure of finding out that these police reports culminated in a well check being done on him, which confirmed his identity and criminal history yet again as that’s been something that he has only tried to hide when he thinks he can gain access to people’s group chats on Twitter about parenting (you know, where parents should feel safe posting about their children?).

Anyway, along with being told that he wasn’t to continue to talk to me, harass me, or any of it — advice that it only took him a week to discard — he was told that he needed to stop posting these grotesque stories online. That seems to be something that he’s scaled back on, although people are happy to continue reporting him to his local law enforcement when they have concerns about the things he says online, but it actually surprised me that a well check was actually done on this dude from what seemed, by and large, to be out-of-state reports. I thought it would honestly take longer, even with his criminal conviction being widely known and something that’s easy to research, for his local police department to take any action at all against him. This surprised me in a good way. And the people who are continuing to try and deplatform him from Twitter will continue making reports to his local police department until his local law enforcement does something about him or Twitter actually follows through on their code of conduct suspending him yet again.

I think he’s honestly acting out now trying to see if he will continue to be reported to his local law enforcement (yes) or if they will take even more corrective action against him for his actions (another yes, or so we are hoping, anyway), and although this is something that I would seriously rather have nothing to do with, I am all for deplatforming him if putting forth the effort doing so will keep minors safe on the website.

For some reason YouTube suggested it to me, and I realized that I had watched it several years ago… but since this blog is so much newer I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned anything about it here. I’m changing that.

It feels weird when people that I knew, people who came up on my social media accounts and pages, are gone. My mind’s still having a difficult time wrapping around the fact that a friend of mine that I knew for so long passed away. I suppose it’s the finality of it that my brain is having trouble with, as I try to avoid thinking about death or talking about it whenever possible. It doesn’t feel right referring to someone that I’d known since my youngest son was an infant in the past tense, but I’ve been telling my brain to just do it.

It feels the weirdest knowing that her LiveJournal, where she blogged until 2017, is now in the past tense.
