Again I am clueless. What IS this ^ ?

A word to the wise to everyone on this thread.
Tread lightly.
As many have noted, several of the posters who were very vocal early on in the thread has been very quiet lately. I wonder if it is because they were easily identifiable - registered names, public facebook posts, etc. and have been contacted. Even the anonymous guy who keeps repeatedly promoting his blog every other page has toned it down considerably and removed some things from the blog about Mike.
One telling thing to me is that there really haven't been that many responses on the race FB page either - less than 50.
No. I am neither Mike nor his attorney. Just giving some advice that it is time to move on.
Ummm...Yeah...Riiiiight!
This "Oooh, better keep quiet. Look who's been 'silenced'! Scary, scary Bogeyman" stuff is getting real old.
For crying out loud, nobody is "being silenced". There is no possible way that there could be any legitimate risk to pointing out what a cheater and scumbag this guy is.
Now people can be getting bored and tired of the whole thing. But stop with the "I'm just giving some advice" horseshit.
Thanks.
So has anyone actually heard from Sara or GregTR recently? Do we know for sure why they have mysteriously gone quiet?

Are you personally in touch with other folks posting? Are they your buds? So you run into them at lunch time at work or see them after work and ask "How goes? Haven't seen you posting lately. Why's that?"
There is no great "mystery" here. There is no reason to think that any poster would know what any other poster is up to. People get bored. People have other things going on in their lives.

You could also add "dealing with threats from $80/hour attorneys" and you would not be wrong.

please get a life wrote:All the time spent proving MR cheated at Via really proves that Via runs a pretty tight race...one cheater out of how many finishers? There aren't many marathons that can claim that. If I was the BAA I would commend Via for putting on such a well run race and there is no way they would ever drop them from being a BQ marathon.
No, it does not prove they run a tight race. There could be 25 cheaters per race. Catching a cheater depends on others actually putting the time into the research. Since there is no mid-race timing mats there are no immediately obvious red flags. The only reason anybody looked into Mike Rossi was because of his viral letter.
This race has been picked apart probably more than any marathon in history. Thousands of photos reviewed by several people many who have basically gone on the record to say Mike Rossi is the only runner without multiple photos during the race. Doubler has a website devoted to marathon cheats and in his spare time reviews marathon results to find anomalies that require more research. Do you think there it is reasonably possibility that others cheated at Via? I'm going to say the likelihood is no so basically you want to bully the RD and "flood their FB page" and beg for likes so you can ruin a race over one known cheater? Is that your end game, ruin the marathon at all costs?

Hi Mike - good to hear from you. Cut any courses lately?
So...stating that you have "not proven that they run a tight race" suggests an "end game of ruin(ing) the marathon at all costs?" ?!?
OK, I see your logic. LOL

Sara and Greg have never hidden who they were and both crave attention so much they have no problem posting their blog or facebook page here. It's my professional opinion that the people who protest the loudest are the ones who are most likely to be like Mike....not necessarily the cheating but everything else. Look at a particular FB page from one of the prolific posters here, there are plenty of public wars being waged and documenting every movement of their life because people give them "likes" so they must want more.
Um, yeah, nice try Mike. I'm still waiting for my threat letter from your attorney LOL.Greg just posted yesterday. As has already been said, no one has been silenced, people do work for a living, this is merely a train wreck that you slow down to look at as you're driving past it a couple times a day.The only one busy posting 24/7 in this thread is Mike which is funny. This guy's entire life has turned into trying to refute every negative thing which has been posted about him, which is thousands at this point.That's what you get for behaving like a jackass - hope that letter to the principle was worth it douche nozzle.#SueMe

Wow, you really missed the boat on that one Chief.
Mike Rossi is a scumbag lying cheat. He is also not me.
Not please try putting on your thinking cap before posting anything else.
Seriously, just out of curiosity, what part of suggesting that there is no great "mystery" here and that folks on here do not know each other or why other posters are or are not active could possibly make you think that I must be Mike Rossi? That's truly bizarre.
I think the real test case here is a male in the 45-49 age group, whose Boston entry was denied based on time, suing Rossi for theft by fraud.
It would be fairly interesting, because I doubt very much Mike's attorney wouldn't even want him to be deposed, much less on the stand. The attorney would file a motion to dismiss, but if a judge denied it and let the case continue... very interesting.
I've only posted twice in this thread. My 2nd post quoted above and my 1st post from the 2nd page:
I have not participated in any of this so called bullying, nor have I flooded their Facebook page and begged for likes. I'm not involved in this other than being a fly on the wall and reading every few pages. I only replied to your post because I disagreed with your opinion. I have no end game other than hoping that cheaters are disqualified.
Doubler's blog was created fairly recently and its purpose seems to be an archive of evidence for marathon cheaters since LRC tends to delete many threads without reason. It isn't like he dedicates his day to researching every marathon.
Do I think anybody else cheated in this marathon? Maybe. Likely not though due to the amount of research that has gone into this. But that doesn't mean there is only one cheater per year and it doesn't mean they run a tight race. Having zero timing mats between the start and finish means they are lazy. Not disqualifying Mike Rossi after all of this overwhelming evidence means they don't care.
I was part of the group that looked up all of the photos and proved Rossi wasn't on the course. I went to post last night from home and Letsrun had me blocked which is crazy. I'm assuming Rossi's lawyer is forcing Letsrun to block any poster who helped prove he cheated to get us off the boards.
I know you cheated Mike and you weren't on the course because the images prove it. You are what's wrong with the world and your lawyers should feel ashamed for protecting a scum bag like yourself.

I thought that was their job - protecting scumbags.

+1 It would be very good if some official LRC employee addressed this point.

yer welcome gregTR
Just for the record, all my posts are under my registered name since page 3 so please stop attributing shit to me that was not written by me!
I too was wondering why some of the people who invested a great deal time and effort in this investigation early on have not been heard from. Blocked?
So it was the year 2525 when I stepped back to let you Neanderthals know we are still waiting for Rojo's Mike Rossi cheated article. Man the anticipation is killing us! Carry on. Oh, and we erected a MR monument on Mars. That face is real now, I spruced it up before stopping by. Zoom in and you'll see the "I CAN TELL A LIE!' inscription. P.S. I'd give you the cure for cancer but Mike's lawyer just served me with a cease-and-desist order. See ya...
