Sorry to be long winded, but this is my last post on this thread. I know this is a victory for many of you. Congrats.
1. He has a similar temper, then calms down and becomes civil. Curses in similar phrases/typing.
It's called entertainment/trolling (almost all towards Mike and Ken only). How can you guys not comprehend this?
2. He's a bonafide Google expert extraordinaire on any subject he looks up (law, running, IP address locations).
Don't be mad that I am a (non-practicing) patent attorney. There was a discussion about the contracts angle to the offer and I talked about that. I think that it is strange that you think I'm googling this stuff yet can't point to any major flaws in any of my informal legal analysis.
Also, unlike Mike or Ken, I can run. Pretty fast too. But apparently that makes me a snob.
Finally, I am the one who ridiculed Ken for lying and saying he geolocated someone using an IP on Wiki . . . it's not possible. So you don't make any sense.
3. Takes credit for things that happened (thread restored, making Ken disappear) with which he probably had little to do.
I did get the thread restored when Wejo put up his rangers thread. He didn't realize it had been taken down.
Also, did you see Ken posting after I exposed his character? If so, well then I failed.
4. Conspiracy theories like Ken (Mike MADE UP A 5K!)
All tongue in cheek to elicit a bizarre twitter craze from Mike. Beside, is it really such a stretch to think he would do such a thing? What other crazy conspiracies did I put forth?
5. He appeared about the time LMR disappeared.
I posted plenty prior to registration being required. Especially under the "I am Rossi" name. People got what I was trying to do back then.
BTW, I was the one who also told them to boot Ken but instead they asked me my opinion on requiring registration. I said it was a good idea but still wanted Ken gone. That is when I decided I would confront him so he'd leave.
6. There's absolutely NO WAY Ken just left the thread. He's obviously still reading it (taunting Mike today about his 5k on his Twitter feed) and I'm sure still posting. If Finisher Medal isn't Ken, someone else here is.
Screw Ken.
Oh, and if you don't believe me on #5, here ya go:

Thanks for writing.
I'm wondering if we should shut the thread or make it so only
registered users can posts. I think the poster you are referencing is
saying they weren't trying to reveal anything personally about Mike
they were just trying to show the IP edit was done by him.
Do you think we should shut the thread? There are like 80 posts in the
last few hours. I can't believe it has that much interest.

Thank you Weldon.
I for one would prefer there to be registered users only on this thread. I saw your post and I appreciate you asking others to keep families out of this. I think that there are some legit posters who are actually doing some good things with respect to his Rossi's cheating.
However, if the thread is locked for registered users only, then I would very much hope tat "LMR" is not allowed to post here anymore. He previously used the registered name "LoserMikeRossi", and he has self-identified as Kenneth Stillman. Here are just a couple of reasons why I think he needs to be banned:
He did in fact publish intimate knowledge of Mike's wife.
With respect to "LMR" defending himself, I am not sure of which post you are referring to, but I do understand that he may have been trying to say the source of the wiki edit was Mike.
The part that bothered me was that he mentioned it may have been posted from the train station where Mike's wife goes to commute to her job, and named her place of work. However, there is no way that the information he was describing could have been narrowed down that precisely with the IP address GregTR found from the Wiki edit.
GregTR (who is an IT specialist I believe) said that the IP corresponded to a place near where Mike lives (a multi-mile radius), but not exactly where. Only somebody with personal knowledge of the wife's commuting route could say for certain that is was at that train station. GregTR can speak to this in more detail, but the poster LMR later showed he had no understanding of internet protocols.
In other words, I believe that the poster LMR had intimate knowledge of a private person's movements and published them. He attempted to backtrack by later saying it was publicly accessible, but didn't realize this was not possible.
Other issues related to this poster have disturbed the LR community.
Most importantly, LMR has become increasingly unstable and obsessed with Mike himself. He admits to not caring about running, has personally received a cease & desist letter from Mike's attorney for trying to unfairly compete with Mike's business, and went on to say some pretty offensive things about Nazis etc. Gatorade & Vodka and others can testify to this.
Sorry for being long-winded. I appreciate your concern and your responsiveness on this issue, and just want to say I really enjoy LR.

Hi Weldon,
Just wanted to follow up and let you know that I've read the posts since you reached out to the group yesterday. After reading pages 667 and on, I think the poster "LMR" has made it clear he did not obtain that personal information about Mike's family using easily accessible means. GregTR explained why. I think that a lot of the other regular posters have echoed the sentiment that he is mentally unstable and getting worse.
Anyways, I just wanted to thank you for looking at the situation and hopefully there can be something done to prevent this from progressing. Honestly, I'd rather see the thread locked rather than watch this person spiral out of control, but hopefully it won't come to that.
Regardless, I'm going to take a break from reading this thread for an extended period of time. I hope Rossi take you up on your offer and fails miserably.
Looking forward to the upcoming World's coverage btw.
Cheers.

I am pretty much done with this. I get it. Some of you just don't want me here. Sorry you took things seriously.
Best of luck everybody.
