Did Mike Rossi (viral marathon dad) cheat his way into Boston?

Ken, I have never in my life seen someone bitch about being bullied as much as you. You do realize you are a grown man and not in 8th grade, right? At least choose another term to describe how much of a meanie he is to you. Or go talk to him man to man, before Col. Ralph Peters hears about you.

It's really not about him bullying me. You must no have read anything I posted or you would know that.

When we had a falling out I told him to fvck off and then forgot about it. I didn't pursue it at all. Mike is pond scum to me.

But then I heard of him bullying the school principal. And since I date a high school teacher I know that they cannot defend themselves on social media. They can get fired for things they do and say. And then he tried to damage my business. And then I chatted with people on Let's Run and found tried to intimidate a lot of people.

Bullies need to be stopped. They need to be stood up to or they will just keep doing it to others, as well as teaching his children to do it. But this is not a concern of yours since you cower behind s screen name and are afraid of Mike.

Ken, don't you think that in the end the letter Mike wrote actually ended up hurting him a lot more than the principle? He's Philly's loser of the year - for anybody, but particularly for someone who relies on his reputation - that's pretty damaging. The only thing most people know about him all over the world is that he is a cheater - and that's all because he wrote that letter. Seems like he got his pretty good.

However, if your stated goal for all that you are doing here (and on twitter) is to "stop the bullying" - Mike has shut down his twitter - doesn't that mean the bullying has stopped? When was the last time Mike did something that you interpret as bullying? Haven't you won? You stopped the bully and Mikes reputation is total sh*t both locally and worldwide. What more do you want to accomplish?

I'm not telling you not to post or do anything you want to do. I'm just wondering why you wouldn't feel like you've achieved your goal and what more you think can be done to "stop the bully", when the bully appears to have been well and truly stopped. Shouldn't you just be sitting back now and congratulating yourself on a job well done?

"principal"

So, he has not bullied you, has not bullied your girlfriend, and has not bullied anyone you know. You are fighting this crusade on behalf of someone you do not personally know? I am sure the principal does not need your help.

It is obviously stupid on my part to engage you, but again, quit crying about bullying. It is almost as pathetic as MR faking races and running daily five milers at 5k pace.

Ken has accomplished his stated objectives. But it is unsatisfying because he really wanted vengeance and thought somehow that would make Ken better. Dragging others down, deservedly or not, is not the same as pulling yourself up.

Deep down Ken wants to lose weight, run, feel good and look good, run a successful business, not have people laugh at him, undo his divorce, be a better parent and human, show kindness and love to others. But something in him holds him back and instead he obsesses with vengeance schadenfreude and bitterness.

I wish for Ken a New Year with all that he hopes for deep down to come true. I fear the dark side has ahold of him but there is still some good in him. And secretly that part of him has empathy with Mike and wants him and his family to do well and recover from this mess. That part thinks that if Mike confesses then everyone will have accomplished salvation. Sadly only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Because while we wait in the bushes of love near the finish of LVM, there is a chicken duck woman thing waiting for us, even if it takes 49 times:

This was never about revenge, or Mike getting what is coming to him. The fact that the letter backfired on him doesn't alleviate the pain he caused to that school principal. Her son had to go to the media and beg people to stop harassing her. Regardless of how horrible his life must be now that everyone he knows is laughing at him behind his back, this was all about a bully learning a lesson and acknowledging that lesson.

Unfortunately he is too much of a jacka$$ to do that and now his kids will Google his name and be scarred for life.

Mike should have made a public apology to her, to a news station and then did his best to try and make it go as viral as his "daddy of the year" new stories. Instead he simply went on a local newscast and said her getting harassed was never his intention, but that he had no regrets and would do it all again in a heartbeat.

That is no kind of apology.

The only real conclusion to this can be that Mike admits he cheated, voluntarily DQ's both his times from Via and Boston and publicly apologizes to the principal. Until then I will post news stories of him any and everywhere that I can. It would have been much easier for him to admit he cheated. He chose to accept the public shaming.

I will bet you one chicken dinner (a real winner) that Mike never apologizes anywhere close in the way you said. He's worthless and his kung-fu is weak.Hey Mike...YOU CHEATED AND LIED AND WILL BE KNOWN THE REST OF YOU MISERABLE LIFE FOR IT.'Dad of the Year' Ha-ha

Not a very good dye job. Thank what he could do with $200k, he could look just like his boy-crush Bieber.

They are both very similar in their level of maturity or accurately, immaturity and petulance, that is for sure.

I am really shocked Mike has kept his Twitter locked. Makes me wonder if something happened.

Maybe one of those kids discovered Google? Or someone who knows Mike told him to get off the social media, he wasn't doing himself any favors? Maybe even his wife told him to knock it off.

For Mike not taunting us, that has to be torture.

He's not tweeting either unless he's tweeting and deleting at the same rate - tweet count hasn't changed much in the last week or so.

Probably affecting someone at work otherwise wouldn't care since it means little to anyone outside the 12 trolls.

And btw Mike, liberals and conservatives alike hate your cheating and lying. That's one way to bring the nation together. Jack*$$ Mike Unites!

For the sake of his family i hope he has grown up and moved on from this. But I doubt it. I don't see others here doing the same. It seems to have brought out the best and worst in people, but mostly the worst.

I will NOT take that bet. LOL

I know he will never apologize, or admit cheating. Because I knew him personally and I'm still in contact with people he thinks are friends - meaning other wedding professionals. He is despised by people who work with him every day. But when to comes to paying the bills they will be cordial with him and non-confrontational with this subject. So he'll just go on thinking nobody is laughing at him - but they are.

So Mike, when you read this know that Danny, and Tom, and Bob, and everybody at East Coast is laughing at you when you aren't around. They know you are pond scum, and so does the rest of the world thanks to the people on this forum.
