[edit] Unlisting from VfD

Except for the one vote which appears to be made by the VfD lister, the consesus has been to keep the page, so I'm removing the VfD listing, especially in light of new information as of April 24 that needs adding. Sirmob 04:24, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Are you allowed to just remove it? I thought that admins have to do that? Willowx 6 July 2005 08:10 (UTC)

You are correct - I'm making a comment to the effect of "I made a mistake" on the VfD page and listing it on today's VfD page, which was never done which is why no admin acted.

[edit] Is this for real?

Is that sicko really going to go scott-free without even a criminal record? If this had been reversed - an asian male with a white female or a black male with a white female, the guy would have been castrated. It is necessary to keep this page up. We have articles about Hitler, the Unabomber, etc.... He should be written about also. edit by User:136.142.56.169

I would agree that this incident is as or more notable than many others listed on wikipedia. However the comparison to Hitler or Kaczynski is overblown and ridiculous. Lohman obviously has mental issues, but he did nothing to indicate that he intended any harm. Obviously his actions were a violation of the his victims' dignity (even if they were unaware of them) and disgusting, but extremely unlikely to be injurious. (Obviously if the victims found out what happened, they could suffer psychologically, even seriously. And obviously Lohman should have known that. But by all accounts he was doing this for his own gratification, probably from some sort of compulsion, and intended for it not to be discovered.) NTK 02:17, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New York Post Should not be Used as a Reference

It is a tabloid and is not the least bit reliable. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Exit 0 (talk • contribs) .

But its not being used as a reference really, is it? It seems like it is being used to say "this was sensational - New York Post covered it which was part of that sensationalism" Sirmob 03:44, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
