Something else that I never wanted to mention.

So… regarding my last post here about it, two people that had been on this guy’s case getting him suspended from Twitter (one of my friends, and one of his friends) came forward confirming that we had his identity and the information about his conviction correct. By the time the convicted pedophile knew that all of us had seen his rap sheet and knew what his conviction was, he stopped halfheartedly attempting to deny that he was the person on the rap sheet or the one who had that conviction. In wanting to see if I could learn more about this man’s conviction, I found out by Googling his name that he had tried — and completely failed — to have all successful parts of his conviction appealed, and that the victim in this situation was his then-stepdaughter, who informed one of her grade school teachers that… this was occurring, prompting an immediate investigation that culminated in his conviction, order to become a lifelong registrant of the child sexual abuse registry in whatever state he lived in, and to be incarcerated for five years. Seriously, though…

People continue to report this guy with all pertinent data in the hopes that Twitter will suspend what honestly appears to be his third account. We know he’s ban evading. He knows he’s ban evading as well. Minors who use social media sites are less safe when convicted pedophiles are allowed to use the site.

I can’t believe that this is actually happening.

About three days ago, I found out something that I could happily have spent the rest of my life… not knowing or having anything to do with: a convicted pedophile who is ban evading on at least two suspensions is continuing to use Twitter, and at that, he is masquerading as a dom and someone who is pro-life using those things as excuses to lash out at people who quickly start telling him to shut up and leave them alone. At this point, the only skin in the game that I have is getting this account of his suspended, and any other accounts that he may make in attempts to ban evade. But to be clear, I’ve actually seen this dude’s rap sheet. He has to stay on the child sexual abuse registry for life, was convicted of… I’m not even going to go back and look, but it had something to do with a preteen, and he can’t live or be within five hundred feet of children’s schools (how do you phrase that? elementary? elementary and secondary?). But Jesus Christ.

I’ve made a lot of awesome new friends from the other people who want him off of Twitter as much as I do, which is probably the only good thing to come of the fact that there is a convicted pedophile ban evading on Twitter. We’ve reported him to Twitter (as have other people who are not even tagged in the conversation), and we keep tagging Elon Musk, Twitter Safety, and Twitter Support like HEY LOOK AT THIS HOUSTON, WE HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM. Pedophiles need to be banned from using social networking sites the same way those with domestic violence convictions aren’t allowed to register on certain dating sites. One can hope.

Well, it’s been an admirable effort so far…

I thought that I was going to be happy continuing to stay in the Emerald League since I found out that one of my friends had passed away on Easter Sunday, but… sometime between yesterday evening and now I’m in the top seven of the Emerald League and on track to be promoted from it unless someone manages to bump me down several places at the last possible minute (or two, or three). German has become slightly less difficult to learn as I’ve continued to make progress in it, although I continue to be a Rookie in both French and German. I’m pretty sure that I know more French and German than I ever learned Spanish two courses into high school, but that might have something to do with how horrible the district I graduated in is. With the exception of the most rudimentary things, I haven’t managed to hang onto anything that I “learned” the whole way through secondary school… and I did most of my own teaching myself, to myself, on my off time because it was like asking any of my teachers for help grievously inconvenienced them. Next year I’m sure people from my graduating class will begin planning what’s supposed to be our twenty-year reunion, and I’ve continued to make it clear that I don’t want to be invited to this because I don’t even want to be contacted by members of my graduating class. It’s actually in my permanent record at the high school that I’m not to be included in any alumni activities or contacted for reunions, or… well, contacted for any reason. The principal put that note in herself and so far, with graduation, I haven’t been contacted by anyone from my graduating class for almost all of the time I’ve spent a high school graduate. It is what it is at this point.
