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?

Thanks, business increased after that.

Answers:

Mike to come clean.

Ken to get lost.

Thoughts:

Ken has been Mike's greatest victim card.

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

Spoken much with the West Wyoming Marathon and the Pine Hills 5K

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.

Something for you to think about:

You are using Rossi's "bad" actions to justify your actions?[/quote]

How else do you stand up to a bully?

Mike tries to damage my business and I'm supposed to ignore it? Mike starts liking somebody's teenage daughters pictures on Facebook and he's supposed to ignore it? Mike accuses a runner of being a sexual predator and he's supposed to ignore it. Mike Accuses another runner of murder and he's supposed to ignore it? Mike calls Cecily Tynan a bad newscaster and home wrecker and she is supposed to ignore it?

Reveal yourself and let Mike intimidate you and then ask me that question again.

Yes, and you weren't mentioned.

I could have sworn that I read that you were on a "vaca" for a few days, down on the Jersey Shore, and you wouldn't be posting.

Did you get banned from the State of New Jersey for wearing a Speedo?

Will you at least promise to get 8 hours of sleep tonight?

I'm worried about you, Kenny.

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

K fine. So ban him from future Boston marathons, tell all the journalists what an embarrassment he is for doing that, and be done with it. It's not like it made a difference anyway.

Boo hoo, some 4 hour guy cheated to get into Boston. Psh. Won't see me with any protest signs. It's honestly a bit hilarious that it's being taken so seriously.

I can just hear all the hobby joggers out there with their double chins flapping as they scream, "This is outrageous!!! I don't jog 45 miles a week to see some guy slower than me qualify illegitimately for Boston!!! Honey, where's my pedometer? I've got to jog some of this steam off!!"

The point isn't that you shouldn't stand up to a bully, Ken.

The point is that your method of standing up to a bully via your posts here was actually helping the bully out.

Thanks to YOU Mike has deflected questions by claiming this website has a personal grudge against him and repeatedly posts about his wife and kids.

Now, don't spend 8 paragraphs explaining yourself away and saying others did this or that. You have been the biggest (figuratively and literally) culprit in those areas.

Also, you post way too much about yourself and generally annoy everyone here.

You want to go after Rossi? More power to you. Just don't think that you are accomplishing a single thing towards that goal by your posts here. Quite the opposite.

now STFU.

And this is why we call you Rex.

I do have a new screen name, it's LMR. And it's registered.

And Mike has gotten back exactly what he dished out. Nothing more. He's called my son names, made fun of the weight of me and my girlfriend, and revealed private information about me that only he could possibly know.

And I have stood up to him and showed him that he cannot intimidate me or silence me. I don't care how many C&D letters he sends me, his behaviors on social media and on this forum have made it difficult for him to prove that anybody but himself is responsible for his downfalls. Suing me and making all his shenanigans public record would be the worst thing for his situation.

OK,Today I tried my luck with sending Mike Rossi an e-mail and asked him about his half time in the marathon.

I'm still awaiting a response from Rossi but I'm not holding my breath. It's still pretty ballsy for someone to go out at a 3:02 pace when their fastest marathon before was a 3:4X. That is some freaking huge balls for you right there.

a 1:31 half and 1:40 2nd half actually make sense in and of themselves without knowing anything else about a runner that would be an unsurprising positive split

guess you are saying he could not have done either split

I'm pretty sure my parents taught me "but he hit me first" wasn't a good reason to do ANYTHING.

It's all a moot point because it's not Rossi in the picture and Rossi himself has never explicity claimed it to be so.

But while a 1:31/1:40 split in a marathon probably isn't all that uncommon, one would expect that if Mr Rossi did indeed have THE RACE OF HIS LIFE which so far exceeded every time he had ever run previously or since then at least he would have had good pacing to achieve it. I mean, if Rossi split 1:31/1:40 to run 3:11 - which he did not - then it means he was probably in at least 3:06 shape with better pacing which is even more preposterous.

i get it. there are too many ifs. all i was saying is that in a vacuum a 1:31 and a 1:40 is not surprising.

Mike is going to have to grow at least 2 more feet to pack in more crap to claim a 1:31. How VIA cannot see through his lies and deceit must mean something else is going on. Surely no RD is this incompetent unless they do not run at all. Maybe some of those on the alleged review committee?

And what, exactly, have you done besides hide behind a screen name call Mike Rossi a cheater? What is your contribution towards getting a DQ?

I know I am doing something, and have even spelled out what will be taking place very soon. Lay your hands on the table and tell us what your plans are besides more "Mike is a cheater" rants.

Yeah, plus there is the why would a 4 hour marathoner that needs a 3:25 to BQ go out at 3:02 pace? But, really it's a no-win question for Mike. If he says, no, not me then he finally admits there are no photos of him on the course.

If he claims it is him and he went out at that pace, it makes his time all that more improbable plus pins him down to a certain point in the race meaning the window of when he could have possibly passed by photo check points to be even smaller and make it all the more easy for dimwits like Barb to realize he could not have been on the course. Also, since it's not really him, it can be proved so and then it is one more lie he is caught in.
