Internet Predator Alert

Readers are forewarned that "jptill" aka Jeff Leroy on Amazon.com (also under the name "Thomas Alexander Lynch"), is also known as "Lazy Agnostic" on the TheologyWeb forum.

"jptill" is widely recognized as guilty of obsessive stalking behavior over the past several years. He was banned from TheologyWeb for this behavior, and even before then was widely regarded on the forum, even by his ideological cohorts, as a disgusting individual. After being banned from there, he also registered a fake account there as "JPTill" thereby violating forum rules and being banned again.

This warning is being issued because he persists in his stalking behavior even to this day, and it is advisable for readers to avoid him, lest they become his next subjects for obsession.

Examples of His Misbehavior

In this thread, LA's behavior was so offesnive that a moderator on the board, a doctoral graduate who is now a leading scholar in his field, judged LA to be an "unmitigated piece of crap," (message 250), specifically for implying adulterous affairs between other members of the board (though he noted later also that this was just a sample of his typical record). In full, he said:

LA, you are an unmitigated piece of crap. We all know you would never have the courage to say that to someone in person. Every now and again you post something worthwhile. You have now forever and completely overshadowed any positive impact you have had on this board.

You are the first person I have ever put on ignore. I look forward to the day you finally earn banishment from TWeb.


In a thread here, LA actively tries to sow division between myself and other people, and refuses correction on and apology for his errors.


In a thread here are several testimonies to Lazy Agnostic's bad reputation, even in 2003 when he first was on the forum. As he does frequently, he shows himself a hypocrite who criticizes those who use riposte, while feeling free to use it himself.
