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. 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.

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]".

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."

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. You trolls get a lot of laughs out of the things Chris has done, but what you all do isn't even funny. It's just sad. You're actually dedicating huge chunks of your daily lives stalking one lonely man on the internet. Seriously? This 'lolcow' was dried up years ago. You're not going to get anything entertaining out of him any more, and you're still trying to milk him. It's sick. NONE OF YOU are ANY BETTER THAN HIM. It doesn't matter if you're a hypocritical basement-dwelling virgin that hates him just because he exists, or you're just doing it for the 'lulls'. If somehow you're married, have a job, and have everything Chris wants, you should feel even more disgusted in yourself for doing it because you have some perversion for taking advantage of someone less fortunate instead of having empathy and compassion for them. I used to be like you morons, wasting my days sitting on my butt listening to everything you say about him. But I grew up. I have a job and a life now, but that still doesn't make me any better than him. I'm not even better than any of you. I pity all of you, but there's a chance you could be better people if you all made an effort to grow up and stop stalking and cyber-bullying with no honor. He's not shallow and picky like you think. You think you all need to go on covert field missions and disguise yourselves as girlfriends to even talk to him. I never met him in person - I'm not even a female - and he friend requested me. All I did was respect him and treat him like a HUMAN BEING. Having a heart and humbly admitting that you're at the same level as him is all it takes, but you're all too little to do that. I'm not an attention whore, but feel free to troll me if you care enough. I know you won't. You all got so lazy that you just copy and paste his activity without even writing your own commentary anymore. Come and get me, losers. Spankety, spankety, spankety.
