William Elliott Waterman
William Elliott Waterman is a Facebook friend of Chris's who lives in Woolwich, Maine. William frequently comments on Chris's Facebook posts with support, and can be considered a white knight, and many see him as an enabler of Chris's actions. Often his posts consist of a smiley or a simple message. Chris and William apparently met online, as William's August 7, 2013 post indicates they never met in person, and that Chris initiated the friend request after correspondence with William. He is also friends with Anna McLerran and her family.
It is unknown when William and Chris first met, but William's first activity on Chris's Facebook timeline are from May 2013.[1] A post from August 3 indicates that William had only recently talked to Anna for the first time, and that she told William about how far back she and Christian go.[2]
Recent correspondence has suggested Chris may have alienated William with some of his Facebook posts, but, as of December 2013, William continues to comment on Chris's Facebook.
Facebook comments
William's Facebook comments to Chris are often short and even off topic. For example, after Chris found out his high school gal pals weren't TRUE and HONEST, he posted cards of the Pokemon Cubone and Yamask, along with a rant about having no local friends. William's reply was a simple comment of, "I love cubone [sic] and yamask [sic]".[3]
On occasion, however, William attempts to give advice to Chris, which is promptly ignored. For example, on June 9, 2013, Chris posted a rant about Megan Schroeder, to which William replied," Chris, why are you demonizing Megan? I don't think she actively did anything with the intent to make others see you the way they do. Why are you harping on something from 2007?" He followed this up by telling Chris, "I think if you were just grateful you have a friend who loves you, and didn't waste time thinking about the bad, you would be feeling a lot better."[4]
Calling out trolls
On August 7, 2013, in response to his Facebook activity being posted to the CWCki, William posted a long rant on Facebook:
7 August 2013 Hello, trolls. I've seen that I'm not exempt from you plastering what I say to Chris onto your archives and announcing it on your news feed, so I'll address you all directly in an open statement. |
