Oh yeah and Ryan Atwell wished Rossi's wife a happy birthday

Mike Rossi didn't run 26.2 at Lehigh VIA. Come at me BRO!!!!!

Your well-learned politesse is tasteful. You can call me maybe. Mike can call me ANYTIME. Gotta go wash my hands again. Lotta steam, lotta steam.

Clearly another hobby jogger.

It's a long way until July and it's forever to a 3:11:45.

You don't seem to be reading the same thread that the rest of us are reading. I'm not the only one who got slammed in this thread. In fact, most of this thread is just bickering between posters! Like you and me. You're maybe butt hurt because I talk back, and the other posters who were slammed did not. There have been more than just the two of us who took the time to agree that this thread is not welcoming to new posters. Why would you use your energy to write in to deny it's happening? This is exactly what's wrong with this thread. Don't you agree that all new posters should be made to feel welcome?

So far in this thread, I've had my post deleted, been accused of being a Rossi minion, been told I'm too sensitive (three times), and been accused of nefariously changing the subject heading. Yay, Letsrun! I wonder why it is some forums have such nastiness and others are so welcoming?

*End of plea for civility* Don't worry, Kipwatcher. I won't post anymore to defend myself because that's not allowed here.

So he is saying he won't try a 5K this year. But he will go for the next challenge. Great.

What Mike doesn't realize.... what Mike doesn't care about... is the fact that he is ok with this mammoth discussion continuing until July (or beyond). Way to look out for your family and friends, Mike.

Instead of ending all this mudslinging toward the Rossi name, you exacerbate it. Instead of protecting your loved ones, you make their lives more difficult.

I really don't know if I should pity you or not.

Why doesn't mike Rossi announce at his weddings:

"Hi My name is Mike Rossi, a 3:11 marathoner, and I'll be your DJ this evening."

On the air, 92.5 XTU Philadelphia's county

"Hi. You're listening to 92.5 XTU philly's best country station...this is Mike Rossi. Don't be listening to the trolls on letsrun dot com. I am the man. You're listening to the man..Mike ROsSI!!! I told Cecily Tenan to go stare at the sky."

Why did he tweet a screenshot of his Facebook page?

Mike Rossi -

"Fake friends believe in rumors, real friends believe in you."

Well I guess that means you have no real friends. If you had any real friends, who honestly believed in you, they would be willing to post on Facebook, Twitter, or some other verifiable social media outlet on your behalf, heck perhaps write something in the comments section of Patch or do an interview. As of right now, that has not happened. In fact, since the Patch article, people who know you have come out and confirmed what many believe about you and your demeanor. In fact, no one has stepped up and defended you except a bunch of made up names here and perhaps Twitter, although I can't remember any, many of which are likely you. By the way, how is Lydia doing? Please give "her" our regards. Besides an occasional "Like" on Twitter, which is likely you doing the "liking", you get none and certainly no retweets. So tell us, who are your real friends and where are they? Are they the ones snickering and laughing behind your back here, on Facebook (especially after the Patch article), at school functions, in the neighborhood or club, etc.?

In addition, what has been asserted about you are not rumors. You did cheat and you have been caught in numerous lies. Of course, if you had real friends as you profess, then as a real friend to them, you should not liet to them about the things you did or did not do. Do you tell them about the nasty things you say about people's children, the threats you make, the lies about pictures being given to you? People who are "yes" friends, that is, those who do not question you but just agree are not true friends. True friends will challenge you (perhaps these friends have the same inability to think critically and analyze facts, like yourself), and in spite of your weaknesses and faults, will stand by you after you are truthful because they believe in you.

So, what rumors are you referring to because as far as I can tell, there are no rumor regarding your running, cheating and lying.

Also, why doesn't Mike Rossi change his Twitter bio to say that he is a 3:11 marathoner? It is what he thinks he is, right?

I imagine that prior to the Patch article coming out, Mike Rossi could pretend to his non-running hometown and philly area friends that they shouldn't listen to letsrun dot com, as letsrun dot com posters are just obsessed losers living in their moms basements with nothing better to do. We are all just haters...

Well Mike it is hard to continue that for much longer...

I imagine His neighbors know he's a cheater, but to be polite and avoid Mike Rossi assaulting them, they will keep this knowledge to themselves at neighborhood block parties, school events, etc.

The Grimes for dimes AOL lawyers probably dont care because he and the firm get $ no matter what.

I can only suggest that everyone who uses other social media vehicles to diligently spread the Patch article, as well as other ones written, such as LRC's original $100,000 challenge and the more recent Turkey Trot article while his antics are gaining momentum. I surmise that some dramatic events are going to occur very shortly, and any collective push can only help on those fronts.

And hopefully it spawns other articles. I realize this story was pitched a few months ago, but maybe now the story has a different spin (idiot cheater chooses to make stupid decision to not admit and to fight with fraudulent data and 3rd grade comebacks).

Maybe Mike will do right by his family and friends and admit he didn't run the marathon.....

Nah. He is an idiot without feelings for those around him.

Nothing like waking up to two new Rossi tweets and three new pages of Rossi thread. This is better than Christmas!

So he posted a screenshot of his facebook page to show off how many likes he got on wishing his wife happy birthday. Amazing! Unfortunately, most of those likes are people who feel sympathy for your wife and daughters because you are an animal.

Looks like this will be going on for awhile. I'll have to go get more popcorn.
