I think he deleted the tweet...

And oh yeah. On the "find my bib#" trolling I'd stated we had to check 251 people who BQ'ed at VIA in 2014. My mistake; it's only 250. We all know of one who didn't.

Think I might tackle this cuz it really seems such an obvious troll effort. The person who posted it must think there's hundreds of people who ran VIA both years. I bet the number of people who ran both 2013 and 2014, BQ'ed in 2014 but not 2013, and ran Boston 2015, will be under 10. Of those 10 or so people several probably BQ'ed elsewhere, came close to BQ'ing in 2013, or have Athlinks times showing they're capable of BQ'ing.

I already did the research. Took like 20 minutes. I just copied the results from 2013 and 2014 at VIA into excel and then had it highlight duplicate entries. Basically, there were only a handful that didn't qualify for Boston in 2013 but did in 2014. I then looked at their Boston times. Not all of them ran Boston. There was nobody that stood out. He was trolling.

This is not an anti-bullying site you fool.

Your own handle suggests this is about cheating, not some principal who is a grown woman getting harrassed by people other than Rossi. He never suggested people do anything like that.

HE FVCKING CHEATED THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS

If it wasn't for him causing the principal harassment he wouldn't have been outed as a cheater. Part one : publicly push a demeaning letter about a principal and never actually send it to her. This was all about a letter she didn't write but was obligated to send to the family . Part two : keep doing national interviews after you find out about death threats and constant harassment to her. A woman who is contractually obligated to remain quiet and not able to respond btw.

His supposed cheating brought him the 30 seconds of fame that ultimately caused the public discovery of that cheating. I think that alone makes this all fair game on this thread.

There is no possible way that this all ends well for Mike Rossi.

How badly it ends for him depends on how much he keeps talking. First thing a good PR person would tell him to do at this point is just delete his twitter account.

Best case scenario for him is to shut up and let everyone assume he cheated. If he keeps a low profile and doesn't remind everyone that he ran Boston every other day, then the fire runs out of oxygen and dies out.

If he keeps being typical Mike Rossi then everyone will still know he cheated (trust me Mike, you aren't converting anyone to your side) and we'll all see more examples of what an a-hole he is as well. Sooner or later he will have a few drinks and go off on somebody on Twitter and totally ruin his reputation (such that it is) in his community.

Let's not forget the terrible personal attacks by Mike against Ken's son - Links?

Page 348, after Ken brags about his kid after Mike ("Ken's Gimp Kid") insults him, Mike comes back with some inside info on their personal/professional feud and ends it by calling Ken's kid "retarded":

"You ended up filling in for Rossi because;

a). you had no jobs of your own (since you cheated and defrauded so many people)

b). ECEG had 6 or 7 jobs on one day and needed someone with experience to cover for them.

and when you fell asleep and f'd up the jobs they stopped using you.

Then you decided to add DJ services to your repertoire. Which, by the way, you asked Mike and EGEC for advice on equipment because you know nothing about being a DJ.

In fact, you offer a FREE DJ when they book tour pathetic video services.

That's like getting a free pile of dog poop when you order some cat p!ss.

And this is why you have so much time to try to slander and libel Rossi and ECEG.

And your kid is retarded."

And therein lies the problem with idiots like you, we're trying to get Mike to produce his evidence that he ran the whole course, someone, we don't know who, asked for links (i.e. proof) of Mike's "terrible personal attacks" and you can't produce anything, except something posted anonymously.

Do you see the contradiction here?
