Quite some Twitter activity between Cecily and Mike

I think that is why he went to the #HHH hashtag, he probably got a cease and desist order. If I had been her, you bet I would have sent one.

Cecily is everything Mike would like to be.

Trust me, I know about these things.

I have a big problem with the charity taking the money but censoring the comments. I see their perspective, but they need to at least offer refunds.

And thanks for the info on Roadgeek.

Well apparently Mike still is reading this thread. Thinking that tweet before the pics was directed at me and my cease and desist order comment....

I feel famous!

And the photos of his wife are likely a response to the blather last week of his wife not being in photos, which meant something bad according to some creepers.

He is using his family as a shield. The problem with that is that when you go into battle, your shield generally gets beat to $hit as you try to stay alive behind it.

A man shields his family from harm even if it kills him.

He has the roles reversed.

If he loves them more than he loves himself, he would have confessed long ago.

Oh boy.

This guy doesn't need a shrink. He needs A TEAM. Working around the clock.

There must be some part of him that actually loves this stuff. Any attention really.

I'll propose this case to a lecturer I know who did some research on the psychological side of Armstrong's denials/cheating and outing. Guys like this feel powerful when they sort of played the system and got away. Shame is that it will eventually become a stinky mess psychologically.

And he is using charities as a shield too.

Or, they'll train so hard to not be defined by what their father did. I hope they don't get scarred by their coward father.

When he puts pics of wife/family online in response to what's been said somewhere that's most likely because he created some kind of 'us against the evil world' atmosphere. Fighting against the enemy. That's mostly what his tweets are about, like he is some sort of crusader.

Undoubtedly he feels attacked, also by idiots who bring up irrelevant stuff about other things than his cheating. But most of the criticism is justified and right. He's only fighting to keep up the image, to continue living the lie.

It's sad, really.

I don't know why there has been this ongoing repeated belief that Mike's true self is somehow not known to the people closest to him. It's pretty clear that he has a serious personality disorder. This would not be some brand new condition that he recently acquired - he's likely always been this way. You simply can not spend time with a guy like Mike for very long without knowing exactly what kind of guy he is - a scum bag. It is highly unlikely that anybody who knows him well would be surprised that he cheating at a marathon or be surprised by his awful behavior afterward. Would any of you have a guy like Mike as a friend? No, you wouldn't, because he's scum. So - guess who hangs out with (or marries) a scum bag like Mike? So really, you can all stop worrying about him using them as a "shield" - it's much more likely that they are simply one and the same and in it together. Birds of a feather.

How are children supposed to choose who their parents are, exactly?

Good work on outing Kara, Doubler, but I'd love to see you call her out on some of the excuses that she has made on your blog. It is overwhelmingly clear that her cheating was premeditated and I find her usage of her illnesses - on every single one of her posts - to defend her behavior repugnant.

Whatever... keep up the good work! I really do think that she suffers from some sort of mental illness but then... so does Rossi and we're not taking it easy on him.

Has anybody else noticed that Rossi's cheating has been removed from Wikipedia once again? Somebody should add something concrete about Barb McKeever in the blurb, such as: "Race director Barb McKeever has refused to comment on the photographic evidence."

Exactly. Together against all those baddies who keep talking about them.

Still at the expense of the offspring, tho.

Sorry if this has been brought up before, but what is up with is twitter? It seems like half of his tweets are responses or comments on something, but there's no context linked.

"it's like Bernie Madoff has teamed up with Angelina Jolie."

"Wow...quite the chirping from someone whose integrity meter is on "E". "Hello Kettle, this is Pot...you're black" #cloudedjudgement"

"Two people who couldn't be more perfect together. #integrity"

"Wow...such great insight from the home wrecker. Thank you for that! #HHH"

What is it with folks in Pennsylvania?

(CNN) Beauty pageant queens typically stand for things like beauty, poise and intelligence.

Press them just a bit and they'll talk about world peace and the need to feed starving children.

Authorities accuse Brandi Lee Weaver-Gates, Miss Pennsylvania U.S. International, of casting aside those attributes and faking cancer in an elaborate scheme that raised thousands of dollars.

Weaver-Gates led everyone to believe she had been diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in March 2013.

In the years since, she took part in fundraisers to pay for her treatment. Police told CNN affiliate WJAC the most recent event was held in April and raised $14,000.

A police investigation found no evidence that Weaver-Gates had ever been under a doctor's care for cancer.

State Police Trooper Thomas Stock called her efforts to make people believe she had cancer "an elaborate scheme," telling WJAC that Weaver-Gates would have relatives drive her to Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore.

They would wait in the lobby for hours for her return, while she went to another part of the hospital.

An anonymous letter to police tipped them off to the scheme.

Those were all referencing Ken and Cecily. He won't reply to her directly so he can deny he was talking about her.

And, let's stop commenting about his family. Some Ken-ish posts the last page or so. We don't want this shut down.

At the Olympics, HHH stands for Holland Heineken House. Beer and Dutch chicks. Pretty neat.

Doubler, I think you just responded to Mike. That's him trying to get a conversation going here about the people he is trashing on Twitter. The poster knows exactly what those posts are about.

Mike, we don't care about those two people. We care about you being a cheating scumbag.

Mike is posting family pics on Twitter to bait this board into commenting. Just don't.

You know, you're probably right.

Let's stick with this: Mike Rossi, DJ at East Coast Event Group, cheated at the LVHN Via Marathon in 2014 so he could qualify for the Boston Marathon. At Boston he ran the terrible time of 4:01 which was completely in line with his previous, dreadful performances.

I posted an article about a guy that cheated at the Oakland Running Festuval Marathon and emailed the R.D.

Here is his response.

At this point there is not much I can do because it is 6 months after the event.

Remind us next year and we will pay closer attention to his times.

This response is disturbing in so many ways. he's like the West Coast Barb. This guy cheated multiple years, and he's going to knowingly let him run next year as well.
