I admit I did not have a high opinion of Mike Rossi,

I second this. Can't say I have followed this thread after the first 1000. Just wanted to see the 10k post. Well done, guys!

I must agree though, that this guy is much worse than I thought. Nothing but a stinking little POS. However, people like this tend to get themselves into big problems, so he'll probably fvck up his life as well as others' in the future too.

If he signs up for any race, please announce it well in advance. It would be fun if someone asked him a few questions while he's "racing".

Even better would be to get a Marine drill Sargeant to follow him the whole race and get other runners to "sound off".

I don't know but It's been said, Rossi got a possum on his head.

I'm sure we can think up lots between now and his next race. LOL

I have not been anonymous on this thread, Mike Rossi knows who I am and I am one of the people Mike has tried to intimidate. I have always posted about his cheating and lying, I have not brought his wife or kids into the discussion. It is plain to me that Mike Rossi cheated!

I started writing something to post on my blog some time ago, but decided against it and had sort of moved on. Until Mike opened his Twitter feed back to the public and I saw he had posted a photo of me taken following a near death collision I had during a triathlon in 2006'. This, combined with other attempts to intimidate me prompted me to finish my blog post:

I'm sure I will get harassed by trolls and Mike, but I will not be intimidated by him!

It's a movie reference, moron. Not a threat. When will you people get it through your thick heads.

It's all about the context of the posts. The posts Mike made on twitter would be construed by a reasonable person as a threat. It doesn't matter if he used a movie quote as the vehicle to deliver the threat. It was an attempt at intimidation. In my opinion, MIke tried to do this through the movie quote so he could plausibly deny it was a threat or that the two posts were related. It is just like Mike, whop has attempted to intimidate practically everyone else that has come out against him publicly.

Now, as much as I don't agree with Mike's tactics, I was vocal against bringing Mike's personal stuff in as well. I believe when I spoke out against that, the accusations began that I was Mike Rossi.

LMR and Triathleteguru both did that to an extent. I believe Triathleteguru was the one that wanted to keep East Coast Event Group in the subject line, but I may be wrong.

Take off your Rossi colored glasses. Neither can be construed as threats by a reasonable person. Get off your high horse.
