Wow! A lot has happened here since last week. It really shows that anybody can have a dark side and not all villains (or in this case sexual predators) are easily marked by black mustaches curled in their fingers, black top hats, and tying women to railroad tracks.
I'd like to thank Asylum for coming forward and sharing her experience and letting us all know part of what was really going on. I'd also like to share a conversation that I had with Tripp a few months back and that I think his behavior then relates to what was going on.
When I was new here he had PMed my me about my user name and had invited me to talk with him on yahoo messenger about movies. So I did and the conversation went quickly to flirting with me and sending me pictures of himself (just his face, nothing sexual) and wanting to see pics of me.
Well I told him I had nothing to send him so he asked me if I had a boyfriend and I said yes. I asked if he had a girlfriend and he said no, not really. I told him that that was usually a yes or no question and he said he sort of had a loose long distance relationship. I asked if she was in the military or something and he said no that she lived in Indiana and was 20 and a virgin and that they were engaged to be married and he was totally in love with this girl! If you had a fiancee they are usually not referred to as a loose long distance relationship in the very last preceding line in the IM.
Needless to say the conversation ended after that, which was my first and last with him. Now this conversation doesn't seem to completely cross the line, but after hearing why these people got banned, I can see where this conversation could have quickly gone and follows in line with that type of behavior. I just thought you all might want to know.
