Wow! I came on tonight to post to my threads and saw this.
OK...I will step up and suggest this thread be closed.
Why do you members continue to put Jj down? Is it cuz he is not here to defend himself?
So after you like his images and the original threads he puts up you jump on the band-wagon to execute him?
I would believe he gave many of you smiles and good things.
The problem with the internet is that many read what we post as only words. They never take the time to get to know the individual; never think about the person behind those words and what they may be in need of. Many just view the surface and run with it.
I have known Jj for many years and yes, he can be looking for attention but doesn't that tell you anything? That just like why you post on this thread...that you are looking for some acknowledgment? and riding off this thread.
I will be around it anyone wants to argue the point that everyone is an individual and that is what keeps the world moving on. Jj is a very intense person...he means no harm; he is just living our his life. And no, I am not part of his Harlem (as the rumor goes) just his friend and someone who understands where he is coming from.

Any chance of the 2 of you taking that advice?
I find that there is an abundance of kindness, tolerance, sympathy and forgiveness on FG. But only if the donor doesn't feel it's misplaced. So, if you're fair-skinned stay out of the sun without sun-screening and don't shove others out from under the shade.

The reason, speaking for myself, that I "continue to put Jj down" as you put it, is that he's a serial online sexual predator. The notion that his online behaviour should be forgotten, which is rolled out on occasion, is absolute baloney. The opening post of this thread is an example of his harassment of women. His target this time is one he's aimed at more than once over the years. We're meant to sit back and laugh? I think not.
If JJ takes exception to "serial online sexual predator" I'm more than happy to add fifty example links to the site's backlog of posts from his assorted dead accounts here.

Having now read through the entire thread and what with the world and his wife chipping in and questioning why, call me naive, but i beg the question that if Jones is such a threat and sexual menace, then why on earth is he here at all ? Surely if he is so dangerous, the powers that be would want him banned for good in order to protect the female membership ? It makes no sense. Is he here because as this thread demonstrates, the truth is, it's no fun when there's no baddie to gang up on ? If he's that bad and he did post the thread to engage a female member then ban him for good but allowing him to continue here in order to see a thread and assassination on his character is pretty vindictive.

Sorry but such threads need to be out there, it's the whole point of open moderation. By hiding things away we get accused of all sorts.
The thread could be reported for discussion?

JJ has the high-score in this regard. We finally decided that having the chap in plain view was simply easier than policing new accounts wondering which of them was him. The fact that you're ignorant of the background is unsurprising, the fact that you attempt to interfere in the site's administration, on the other hand, isn't.
You extrapolate beyond what's been said by bringing in words like "dangerous". Nobody but you has made any such suggestion. Unpalatable, distasteful, grotesque, try those instead, they're all applicable.
There is no way of enforcing a permanent site ban on this forum. That is a practical statement of fact. That's why we don't use permanent site bans.
Burying back-history and stopping new members from discovering the antics of antisocial people like JJ before they're trapped by it is something we've learned to avoid. He's here, he's visible and the warnings are clearly posted. I suspect it's also helpful to members on other forums he might join too, but that's only a guess.

I stand by every word of it. JJ's an serial online sexual predator. I've seen him behave that way too often to be mistaken and I've offered to show examples from his assorted ForumGarden accounts. I have no reason to believe he's dangerous but he's certainly upset members here in the past with his predatory sexual behavior. I'm using the word "serial" to mean repetitive, which it might not actually mean in this context. I'm certainly not implying he drops one woman before picking on another, he does anything but.

Both of the links i have given and there are many more available, give the definition of a sexual predator as one who has been convicted of a violent sexual offence. The mere definition of your wording may lead others down a path which is untrue and unfair. You're right, i do not know the history of the forums problems with Jones but i just begged the question of why he was still here if he was so dangerous to women. It's akin to inviting the lecherous old uncle to the wedding and then complaining he's fondling the bridesmaids. With that, i shall bid you all good day.

Perhaps you would care to explain this, maybe to give a definition of "online sexual predator" because, at this moment it seems to be bordering on being a libellous statement. Unless you can prove that your accusation is true, you are leaving yourself open to the possibility of being taken to task by the recipient of your written slur on his character ! I think that you may find that 'chatting up' various ladies online does not necessarily constitute 'sexual harassment' .

I must say, I liked the 2nd definition of Online Predator on Urban Dictionary even more...
2.) A mammal belonging to Order Carnivora (tigers, grizzly bears, timber wolves, wolverines, raccons, etc.) with an internet connection.
1.) Doug is an online predator. He's in chat rooms or on MSN all day trying to hook up with young girls. What a sicko.
2.) Zippy the Squirrel was killed by an online predator. I didn't even know that a grizzly bear could type!

It can, as you say, be tested. I'm aware of the nature of libel. "Bordering on being a libellous statement" isn't even remotely a breach of any law. It's "bordering" in that, if my statements are false, what I've said might be libelous. Fortunately, what I've posted is true and consequently isn't a libel.
As for 'chatting up' various ladies online does not necessarily constitute 'sexual harassment' I agree, though it damn well can when JJ's doing it, given the way he does it. The opening post of this thread is an example of sexual harassment.
JJ, along with everyone else on this site, has my full name and address should he wish to take matters to a formal level. I note that his own identity is hidden by his onscreen name - quite how his character can be smirched when his identity is hidden I've no idea.

I think the ambiguity here is that the term "Online Sexual Predator" is primarily used to refer to paedophiles which, to my knowledge, is certainly not the case here.
I think the term "Online Sexual Harasser", if there is such a term, would be more appropriate.

I'm very sorry to say this, but I find what Tyr has said in this latest post is exceedingly sarcastic and uncalled for. Tyr you are being insufferably insulting to a member, and I don't think that is a good example of behaviour on Forum Garden. Certainly not from somebody who is supposed to be part of the administration team !

Now that I have located FG's official position on the issue the continuation of this thread in the current way is pointless.
I am happy to re-open the thread as long as people aren't creating a scene.

That link takes you to Bryns position on JJ if you don't feel his word is the final word on the matter then keep going.
His history *is* relevant and *will* be held against him - he has already received a number of warnings about his behaviour and this *will* be taken into account when considering the way we react to any further infringement. The thread he posted *will* be interpreted in light of previous behaviour.

The first: 1. A person who uses the Internet to locate and lure his intended sexual prey, especially children.
And the second: 1.) (n.) a sexual predator who uses chat rooms, instant messenging, or social networking sites for the purpose of flirting with and meeting others for illicit sexual experiences. Pedophiles, hebephiles, and pederasts who encourage secret meetings or solicite sex with their targeted demographic through these methods are considered to be online predators.
I agree entirely with the definitions, they're sound, they're accurate.
And what does Peter Lake do with them? First of all he misrepresents them entirely and quite simply makes things up. The word I really need here is "lies".Both of the links i have given and there are many more available, give the definition of a sexual predator as one who has been convicted of a violent sexual offence.
They do? Where?? They do no such thing.
Where does he go next?The definition given by all for online sexual predator indicates children involved.
They do? Where?? They do no such thing.
He's even aware that he's lying through his gritted teeth. He has to bring in weasel words:An internet pest who attempts to engage members online into sexual contact is another world to a convicted violent offender or a pedophile often associated with the term " internet sexual predator".Let's assume he actually means to write "another word for" rather than "another world to" so the sentence makes some form of coherent statement. Do you see the "often"? The "often" means he recognizes that there are times when the term "internet sexual predator" is used WITHOUT implying "a convicted violent offender or a pedophile". Why's he weaseling with "often"? Because he knows his statements simply don't conform to the definitions he quoted in the first place.
"Especially children" means sometimes without the involvement of children, okay?
"A sexual predator who uses chat rooms, instant messenging, or social networking sites for the purpose of flirting with and meeting others for illicit sexual experiences" is a great definition for the words "online sexual predator", they're fine. The definition goes on to say X Y and Z fall into that category. So do lots of other behaviors. X Y and Z are not exclusive.
If you want to know what the term "online sexual predator" means, look up "online", and "sexual", and "predator". It's not sarcasm, it's anger at being deliberately jerked around for the sake of jerking.

Gill asked you to prove and i asked you to provide your own link to show your definition of online sexual predator. You have not done either, yet turned this into an attack on me to divert the attention away from your inappropriate wording. Had you used the words online , sexual and predator in different sentences then you may have a point but you did not. You used the three together in unison to describe his behaviour. Now you call me a liar when i have provided two links with the definition of online sexual predator and both mention children and peadophile and the mere fact that anyone searching for a definition of online sexual predator, seeing those words, may or may not deduce that Jones is one. I am not disputing his behaviour in the past but online sexual harassment is worlds away from a sexual predator, online or not.
It's always the same with you when anyone god forbid dares question that of which you have written. I have been polite and civil in my posts yet personal attacks always come when it appears you are backed into a corner. Do you have a link to a definition of online sexual predator that in no way indicates a peadophile ?
Here's more links that go down the line of a online sexual predator being to groom children.

Firstly, is this central to the discussion or is it a side show?
Secondly, given that the dictionary definition is conditional it does not preclude the meaning that was clearly used.

Firstly, I wish to thank Anne for her kind words
Secondly, I wish to say that I wish Tyr would refrain from splitting hairs ! Tyr you say that you are not being sarcastic, but that you are expressing anger, well I've said this before (quite a few years ago) and I'll say it again. Please, when you are making a point, would you write your thoughts in a more polite and less aggressive manner. It really doesn't take a lot of effort (yes I admit to being a tad sarcastic there !) and it will not cause upset to the intended recipient. It really is not necessary to be so aggressive, bordering on rudeness. A point can be made quite seriously without the insulting undertones. Go on, Tyr, give it a try (Gill smiles invitingly - I've written that as I know you don't like those emoticons and I just wanted to show that I was smiling and not frowning ....... or sticking my tongue out...........or making any rude hand gestures etc !)

I think everyone understands the meaning behind the phrase, and probably pretty much agrees with the underlying intent. It all comes down to a simple error in phrasing. I don't believe anyone was intentionally accusing anyone else of being a paedophile.
Furthermore, although the term "Sexual Predator" may not be technically restricted to children, it must be accepted that this is the generally accepted meaning, in the same way that "Rape" is not restricted to Male attacks on Women - it can happen the other way round. It's just accepted that way (not that I'm accusing anyone here either - just an possible example of misinterpreting something).
Let's calm down, everyone, and accept that it was simply an incorrect term to describe an action where the actual meaning, taken in the context of everything else, was self evident.

We've decided to take the train to Kristianstad today. It's been rather warm these last days though it looks as though it might rain a bit today. Oh well, never mind – we'll be spending it in a museum. Our Henrik loves museums and Olga always packs a lovely basket lunch, with a thermos of coffee. Mmmmmm! Now, if I can only rouse everyone from their sleep ….........
Anyone care to come along or meet us there? :driving:

Would love to, but not sure I can make it in time. Better start without me, this time.

It's an interesting position to have reached, I think. We have general agreement but at the same time I'm invited by several members to post links to JJ's old posts made under different accounts which are now closed - not just invited, a better word would be commanded. Gill and Peter both insist that I put these links into this thread.
I'm out until evening but okay, you summoned them up, I'll link to the squalor. I'm quite happy to have a central repository here in this thread to direct newbies to if JJ gets tackily amorous in public again. It's not a pretty sight. Whether this will in fact make Gill and Peter happy I've no idea but we can push ahead and find out.
So far, for the record, we have the following descriptions of JJ's online behavior on ForumGarden posted into this thread:
Peter Lake: An internet pest who attempts to engage members online into sexual contact
FourPart: I think the term "Online Sexual Harasser", if there is such a term, would be more appropriate.
Peter Lake: I am not disputing his behaviour in the past but online sexual harassment is worlds away from a sexual predator, online or not.
Gill only goes so far as 'chatting up' various ladies online does not necessarily constitute 'sexual harassment', but I do so like the "not necessarily" as a get-out from going all the way to acknowledging JJ's behavior constitutes sexual harassment.
And, for competeness, Peter asks "Do you have a link to a definition of online sexual predator that in no way indicates a peadophile?". Yes, Peter. The perfectly good definitions you provided links to. I've already said they're good definitions. Try reading what I wrote and this time focus harder.

Good lord man, I'm five hours from the nearest airport! To get there I would definitely start from somewhere else!
eta: Nearest civilian international airport. I'm discounting grass strips and Coastal Defence helicopter bases.
