Post a 100 pics of yourself... Still won't help me know who you are OR what you're up to on here. JMHO I noticed your contribution to the site has skyrocketed VERY recently. Don't know why but..... Awesome!  I have been in and out for years. Just float around and read most of the time. Unless an issue piques my interest. I think numerous pics help alot to let people get to know who you are. For example: If I see a pic of Donald Duck, or a profile of numerous pics of the same person I think Donald Duck would be lacking something for me to formulate an impression of that person. |

Yes, I just pointed that out that I am not sure what "guidelines" mean. Could be suggestion only. I love looking at people's pics, myself. And when I was on here dating I would not even consider someone who didn't have a pic posted. But, that is me. I think it helped keep me safe, though. If it's just a suggestion only, I don't understand why it would even be there. I think they just don't enforce this particular guideline for some reason. Perhaps someone in admin, Or a mod who knows will pop in and tell us what it means. Hopefully, because they do enforce certain guidelines. I would think they'd want to enforce all of them. EXCELLENT point! |

Should: Used to express probability or expectation. Must: To be obliged or required by morality, law, or custom. ...  and... guideline [ˈgaɪdˌlaɪn] n a principle put forward to set standards or determine a course of action should/SHo͝od/ Verb: Used to indicate obligation, duty, or correctness, typically when criticizing someone's actions: "he should have been careful". Indicating a desirable or expected state: "by now students should be able to read". so, I guess we can say it is HIGHLY suggested, but not mandatory as written. |

I noticed while uploading some RECENT,CLEAR pics that in picture guidelines it states that "you should be in all photos". I have not followed that completely as I have a cartoon and painting of myself and a pic of my dog. But, plenty of other clear pics. But, what are everyone's feelings on this? Don't come in and attack me. I am getting too old for that chit. I am asking your opinion.This is discussion ONLY! I have heard arguments both ways,but I still tend to think if you are on a dating site, you should post a pic of yourself. I just realized recently that the guidelines also say so. So, do you think these guidelines should be enforced? Or, do you think they should be changed? I might add,cos I can hear some of you thinking.. yes I am on a dating site and unavailable. I met my man here and lots of friends and see nothing at all wrong with me or my guy stopping in once in a while to chat. We have in our profiles that we are not here to date. But, we still have pics. I'm not here to date anymore, so I could careless. If I were dating, I wouldn't take anyone serious unless they had clear pics of themself. Also, they should have a complete profile, and no "No Answers". That is a good point. Most of our protection should remain on our own shoulders and good old common sense. So, I am unsure about enforcement. Just curious why it is in the guidelines and not being enforced. Or are guidelines mearly suggestions? Pretty much. But, it would be nice if they had some sort of an approval process, or verification. Maybe something like Spider suggested about holding a Mingle sign. But, couldn't somone just photoshop in a MINGLE sign? This reminds me of something funny. Kind of off topic, kinda on. But, when I was on here in dating mode, I kinda was crushing on Peccy. He appeared to be too dumb to notice. LOL Some guys are just clueless. Peccy was known for posting alot of questions on threads about everything under the sun. So, I grabbed some colorful markers and made me up a pretty little sign that read, "PECCY, Ask ME a question" and took a pic of me holding it, And he did...we been together about 4 yrs now

But, we still have pics. This site is very generous with the number of pictures they allow for each profile...IMO, 18 is alot....I think a variety of pictures is fine and an excellent generic way for people to express their personality...Because the guidelines are just that, guidelines not rules, I don't see the need to change the wording...It would be nice if members were required to use only a picture of themselves as their main profile pic though....  Yes, I just pointed that out that I am not sure what "guidelines" mean. Could be suggestion only. I love looking at people's pics, myself.

I think at least one picture should be of the person, holding up a sign that says "Mingle". Like my current picture. I don't think this should be enforced, but people should be aware that they might be talking to a scammer if such a picture is not available. lol ok. I might need to go take another pic

To crucify someone who is not even on this site anymore? I don't believe in crucifixion or in the death penalty for child molesters. They are typically very docile around adults. They can safely be incarcerated for their lifetime without posing a danger to other inmates. I only favor the death penalty in cases when the individual is a danger to other people. As for Keith, he's a deeply troubled man. I have never liked him, maybe I picked up on his "offness" or maybe it was because as a moderator, he was rude, unfair and bigoted against Christians. I don't wish him harm, that wouldn't undo his crimes. I just don't feel that sex offenders who are fixated on children should be allowed out of custody. I think 30k+ child porn pictures is fairly good evidence of a fixation on children, I have never in my life had that many naked pictures of women and I freaking love women. This topic has allowed us to discuss sex crime and punishment in general, not just Keith and his crimes. I don't see why this thread should be killed or why we should stop posting here if people still have things to say. Are you here to make friends? No, I am not. Cause I am not seeing any attempts at love or friendships... I've got great friends, I have my kids, I have the love of a great woman and heck, I'm even friends with most of my exs. I don't come here looking for love or friendships, I come here for discussions. If friendship happens, that's an added bonus. I find common ground with one person in one thread and we disagree in another thread. I see nothing wrong with that. Don't prove me right. I have no idea what this means. Why the hell can't you understand what I am saying? MAKE THIS A GOOD PLACE TO BE..... exactly which part of that do you not understand?...I can draw pictures for the bigger words. see...like now you are attacking spyder. I havn't seen him attack you. So, who should be allowed to remain here? We aren't suppose to attack each other. Just make our point of view. |

As long as the thread is open and I do not violate the rules here and I see someone defend this child molester, I will post. It is no secret I do not like child molesters or anyone that defends them. We are not idly gossiping. This is current events backed by facts. But, I won't lose any sleep if this thread does close. I do kind of think maybe Charles has a reason for it being here. So, who is anyone to question that? That would be me Darlin...I will stand the hell up and question it. I just like the fact that this is a happy place of positives.....I met my love here. I have met long term actual friends here. I have laughed and cried with my friends here. ..and there is no damned way I will sit back and let this really good thing become nothing more than a focus on one dousche who pulled a scam on every one of us. If I am gonna be the bad guy cause I like what Mingle has brought to me.....my friends...my lover. Fine....I will deal with it. So.....you do what you need to do. I will too. You ever think it might be due to him thinking he owes it to the community here? You ever think it might be due to legalities? It could be a number of reason you or I are not privy of. He may think it best to just stop the posting and keep the notice up to solve it all. Personally I will be glad too if no one can post here...some posts just turn my stomach. |

Some are defending him. But, like I said I don't care if Charles takes it off. I agreed with Joel several pages ago it might be best. Because, there are those that will defend and those that will counter defend until it is closed.

Let me ask you this Spider...(I just got a great new spyder convertable....so don't think I got a problem with Spyders) ...what are you really here for? To crucify someone who is not even on this site anymore? Maybe you are here to show some love to the outstanding woman you met here? Are you here to make friends? Cause I am not seeing any attempts at love or friendships... Don't prove me right. Maybe he doesn't need to explain to you what he is here for. It is not him that broke any laws. |

34 pages of a friggen lynch mob. Stop it people....it is embarrassing. This site is NOT about Lex. This site is about good people becoming friends...maybe even lovers. New people stumble into this site everyday and you idiots are gonna drive them away....Lex has been dealt with...stop freaking the new ones out who take one look at your hatred, then hit the bricks. Everyone has had plenty of time to vent and air thier opinions...maybe too damned much. A schitt bag snuck in and is now gone. It is HANDLED. (very professionally I may add).. My suggestion to Charles is this....He did the right thing and just laid out the information he had available...he took the right course of action along with the rest of the Mingle staff It is time to f**kn delete this thread. It has served it's purpose. Time to move on to finding friends and lovers. I don't see a lynch mob. I see people expressing hurt, grief, even love. Some hate. Answering of some questions, assortments of emotions.But, I see no lynch mob. I think I saw one mention of a rope in the whole thread. |

I guess it's not so much defending, as what he did was wrong. But none of us know what his life was, we can all say how disgusted we are and how bad things should be done to him, but you do not know what he has gone through in his life, nor what he still has to go through. There will always be bad things happening in life people will always make bad decisions that hurt others. I always liked Lex, that doesn't mean I like what he did, but at the same time I won't change how i feel now. I hope I never lose my compassion and hope for people, regardless of who they are or what they have done. You might feel differently had it been one of your 6 children. You might not. But, most would. |

Actually there probably has not been a study comparing the equality of temptation of laziness to temptation of molesting children. But, there is proof of extreme high recitivism rates of molesters. But, this is not the issue here at hand. He has acted twice that we know of. Was convicted. Was released with stipulations. He didn not follow the rules of his release. That is his charge. So, why would someone continue to try to distract from the real issue? To defend something we aren't even talking about? Why would you compare your desire to be lazy with his desire to molest children. I find that an odd comparison. Are you trying to say there should not be a sexual offender registry? That would be way off topic, as there is, and he broke the rules. Simple as that. I think she was simply giving an example to help express her point. And I think it was an odd comparison and isn't about the issue we are discussing. He is in jail for breaking terms of his release. We have laws we have to abide by. If not we go to jail. So, he is there because HE put himself there. I understand that everyone liked him...but HELLO PEOPLE, DO NOT TRY TO DEFEND HIM. Comparing child molesting to being lazy? WTH are you thinking???? Soooooo true..thanks but, not the part that EVERYONE liked him...some of us didn't like him at all, some were leery, some indifferent, some liked him ok, some loved him. I fell more into the LEERY category. Not that I thought anything like this. But, I picked up that something was odd about him. |

it seems "fairness" gets thrown out of the window when emotions are involved, and the scales of justice tip on a bias Fairness would be the kids could be un-molested and he could serve his complete time which includes following rules of his release. He didn't do that, so he didn't pay his debt to society. He will never be able to pay his debt to those little girls. And how can one not have emotions for the victims of these crimes? fairness would not be the kids getting un-molested AND he could serve his complete time. we can't change the past. the crime he was convicted of happened in the early nineties, and a seven year sentence for the molestation of three young girls was no where close to being fair. but that is what it is. the pictures he got convicted for and the time he served for that was a different matter, but again i suspect the punishment did not fit the repeat conviction (repeat as in getting convicted again, not repeating the original crime). now he stands accused of failure to report. it should be considered a habitual conviction IF he gets convicted. (habitual as in a continued life of crime, not habitually committing the same crime) if more pictures or anything incriminating were to be found in his house, car, or place of business, the prosecuting attorney could add additional charges. at this point as many charges as possible would be nice. any convictions would carry some sort of sentence and maybe he would die in prison before his release as for emotions for the original victims, they are certainly there The law is as it states. You are saying what you feel it SHOULD state. How does that pertain to his violating the laws as stated? |

And someone asked how much time he can get. "The term of incarceration for a Class 4 felony is ordinarily between one and three years. 730 ILCS 5/5-9-1(a)(1) ordinarily provides for fines of up to $25,000 for felonies, except that corporations may normally be fined up to $50,000."
And there would be more strict stipulations to his release and sex offender registration...possible probation...longer length of time he will have to register...and will have to register more frequently...I think I saw it was every 90 days. |
