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

Probably the right thing to do closing the thread to non-registered posters, the creep factor will go down, as will the entertainment factor. This may be the greatest thread in internet history.

The organizers at Via must be cowards. I'm still hopeful they grow a pair, disqualify him, and Boston forfeits his time. He ran it yes, but it can be stripped from official records just like wins are stripped from teams found to have cheated.

LR, great article, I was hoping that would be the tipping point.

Nah, most of the non registered people weren't contributing anything funny at all. Just a bunch of people making creepy statements and one-liners which mean nothing.

Unfortunately the creep factor is right here posting under his real name.

Glad to have you still here in the registered environment. Not sure where we'd be without you +1 guy.

I'm one of the few people who has used nothing but a registered name since I came on here. Some of us aren't afraid of Mike and we publicly post on Facebook as well. It's those who hide behind screen names that are the cowards.

The only thing you have ever done, Ken, is help Mike. Which, I now wonder if it wasn't your plan all along as you simply won't stop even when it's clear all you are doing is helping him. Turns out there was only one minion for Mike, and it was Ken.

Yep. And the probably Mike poster can quickly get a new gmail account and register. but it should cut down some of the stupid stuff, like the guy who likes to call everyone obscene names.

Thanks to Ken, this thread will die in a week.

We had fun while it lasted, didn't we?

Mike - why are you so quiet? I thought you loved attention, you should be jumping all over that 100k offer. This could catapult you back into semi-subelite-celebrityness

I believe that you posted only under registered names as much as I believe your claim regarding ip geolocation: you're lying.

The timing of your posts re "Mike's minions" and "facts guy" are within 2 minutes, sometimes in the middle of the night. So maybe you have a split personality.

Can you tell us how IP addresses and geolocation work again? And how did you pinpoint an IP from wiki to a train station?

No. You can't, because you lied.

(regarding this comment)

It's been an entire page since someone told you to stop mentioning Mike's family, so I guess you forgot?

Right, and they run the forum so I have to listen to them.

And Mike has never mentioned anybody's family or liked their children's pics on Facebook - in case you forgot.[/quote]

Something for you to think about:

You are using Rossi's "bad" actions to justify your actions?

Who cares if some hobby jogger let his kids skip school for a few days so they could watch him run a 4 hour marathon he didn't deserve to run?

Borrrriiiinngggg. zZZzzzZZz...

No one cares that about skipping school. Those here and with integrity care that he cheated in order to get into a marathon that took him over 4 hours to "run", that he lied before that race, lied after the race, and continues to lie now! #integritystrong

Thanks, I agree with that, I've got it all over this Rossi fella, just like my good friend and fellow dentist Walt, aka 'The Lion Tamer'. Now there's a good example of how to do something to make it go main stream media viral and not have to put up one dollar in challenges.

Kip I loved the new yorker article on you. Very well done.

What advice would you have for our friend Mike Rossi or his sidekick Ken?

Crickets still chirping from Ken's macbook re his stalking - I mean ip mastery?

I'm glad Greg crushed your lies last night. He hit a solid double last night. Do you at least understand baseball analogies (I know you don't care about running)?

The true test of this quoted claim is to DQ Rossi and see how many people other than Ken trolling himself are here in a month's time if Rossi goes quiet.

Sounds perfectly fair.

You weren't "Experienced", you're not "Expert", you haven't "uprated" yourself and you won't get "to DQ Rossi".

Now, this GregTR fella, he's a different kettle of fish.
