To Letsrun.com and the Johnson brothers,
I am writing to you and asking that you review the posts of one individual and consider banning them from posting on this site permanently.
The relevant thread is the Mike Rossi thread. While the spirit of the thread has been to expose and publicize Mike Rossi's marathon cheating, there has no doubt been hundreds if not thousands of off-color jokes and trolling - particularly at Rossi's expense. However, one individual has taken it upon themselves to post personal information about members of Rossi's family, which in my view, goes too far.
Essentially, the poster "LMR" describes the commuting route and place of work for Mike Rossi's wife: […] the IP address for the Wikipedia change seems to have been near the Glenside Train Station. My guess is the wife changed it while waiting for the train to take her into Philly for work at University of Penn Hospital…" Posted 7/28/2015 6:18PM.
The information is obviously personal and could not be easily found online (e.g. - a specific commute route). This is not the only incident in which this has happened, and I feel that if left unchecked, the individual will progressively reveal more personal information and invite harassment. Ironically, this is the type of reckless online behavior for which Mike Rossi has become infamous.
Everybody loves this site because - for better or for worse - "while we moderate the forums, one unique feature that encourages the free flow of information is if you want to be anonymous on our forums you can be." However, I feel that this poster is becoming more and more reckless with the personal information of a private person and may eventually cause harassment beyond the forums and into real life.
I cannot be 100% sure of the identity of the poster "LMR". That said, there is a good possibility that that he has also posted under the name "LoserMikeRossi" - who has identified himself as Kenneth Stillman: "Looks like I have to abandon my registered user name [LoserMikerossi] since it's being used with a lower case L in place of the i. New name is LMR. I will not be posting using the old name anymore. Anything posted under that name is not me." Posted 7/28/2015 2:47PM. If these posters are not the same, then I apologize to Mr. Stillman, but still stand by my words with respect to "LMR".
I hope that you will consider my request to review and ban this poster in order to ensure the personal security of family members is not threatened, and request that I remain anonymous as I have a family of my own and do not want to invite harassment against them. I am also posting this on the thread so as to invite feedback from others and "LMR" himself.
Thank you.
