If you don’t know what LISK.com is, it is short for longislandserialkiller.com and is where I first came across posts and comments discussing the Gilgo Murders that seemed strange to me. I’ve blogged about the many things I read posted there but again I read there for such a short time before the above screen was put up and the site disappeared. The site itself had been up for years, in fact it had been up almost as long as the investigation had been going on. And as those who read and commented there soon realized, it wasn’t just LE conducting investigations. Since I was new to the site, it wasn’t tell I went back and read older comments and posts, that I realized that a game of circles was being played. In my opinion, at least a few people were creating different screen names to help play this game, and when some would leave they were replaced by new ones. Repeating old things as if they were new, but for new readers it was, only long-term readers could have seen what was going on, and there were a few of them that would try to point things out from time to time. But since it took a while for the so-called “Sock Puppets” to be discovered, it was difficult for the regulars to be sure who was who. Maybe by looking back now and with some input from those reading here that also read there, maybe we can piece together a little bit of who might have been who. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

What I dont get, zero, is that you and I both know that when you have blogs and websites you see the ip’s, you know who is who. So, if the people who owned LISK.com knew that so many of these people were dangerous and were on witch hunts and were using multiple identities and were spreading lies and playing dangerous games with peoples lives, why didnt they just block those people instead of shutting down the site?
Its not that hard. You just dont approve their posts. Duh. I had several posts myself that were kicked out (I have no idea why).
It just makes no sense to me.

Yes, this is something that I wondered about at the beginning, but I admit, the site was taken down and I didn’t focus my blog on some of my early questions about LISK.com site. When I first started commenting there it took forever for my comments to be moderated. And even if those commenting there regularly were just getting allowed without moderation, I’m sure who ever was running the site was reading everything and could have removed things. They were very peculiar in what they chose to filter out and what to leave in. But here is something that really bugs me, and I plan to get more into this in the blog. Whoever was running the site was a writer. At least in the way I am a writer, (take a look at the different books written about this case or by people in the case, i.e.. the Doctor’s father, quite a few writers involved here) they wrote the firsts posts before the commenters were sending in posts. Let me get exactly to the point, there are many comments on here from different screen names and like most blogs or sites there are comments made by me the blog creator. I think it would be hard for a writer not to get involved in the comments about what they have written. So where is this bogs creator or creators in the comments. Why aren’t they more involved in what is being said there. I mean at the very least to defend there own criticism or to explain to it’s readers who might be fake screen names. For example I posted in this blog a comment made by Cheryl on LISK.com, where she changed her screen name to Mari and back to Cheryl in a blink of an eye. She did this to show that people could be any screen name and those reading could not tell they were from the same person. But we know that the sites administrators knew that this was going on long before Cheryl figured it out and post it in a comment. Now, if this was my site I would have been compelled to address this in some way. And nothing from this sites admins. This makes me A. question what the purpose of this site was and B. wonder if it’s administrator had their own screen names and were very much a part of the comments.
