    Why do you think I don't let people who aren't on my Facebook friends list even message me?

    The guy is bad news. Period.

    Yep. You did the right thing, Evil, by telling her.

    If this guy is telling her he loves her after "knowing" her 3 days, then she finds out he's a registered sex offender and still doesn't have any issues with putting herself and her kids in danger ... she deserves what she gets, even if that means having her body dumped in a ditch somewhere.

    I'd be more curious what the father of her kids thinks about those children being in harm's way.

    I think you were right to tell her. The ball is in her park now.

    His response was typical, though I'm impressed based on your description that he can at least capitalize the first words of sentences and through in a period every once in a while. He's one step above anonymous comment form posters.

    And, Evil, you might want to keep your head up for the next little while. From the way you describe him, bipolar or not, he could very well target you for some payback.

    double J makes a helluva point. i got into a political pissing match with a guy on another cat's wall once, and the dude sent a guy into my place of work to threaten me. shit ended up getting real nasty. keep your head up, evil.

    That said, sex offenders are notorious for being cowardly little shits when confronted.

    You did the right thing all around Evil.

    I've been saying it since I first got online 20 years ago on the old GEnie service: Be more careful about online friendships than offline. Yes, I you may have gone to the same high school I did. Two dozen of my friends may have friended you too. But if I don't remember who you are, I'm taking a pass.
     
  9. I try to do that, but being in the media, I accept almost all friend requestd because you never know when the friend of a friend will lead to something.
    I use Facebook as a tool for my reporting.

    You should respond and ask what about your nose in particular is a "bitch ass." Find out if other parts of your body could also be considered "bitch ass." Offer to send pictures to him for comparison's sake.
