Off topic, but just wanted to say that the lady suspected of cheating in another race has been discussed in a different group and someone who ran in the same race has reported her to the RD. She would have had to run past them and didn't plus there's other evidence. So if nothing else, this thread has served to find another possible cheat.
and on that thread you posted "All possible cases of cheating should be investigated" C'mon, do you actually hear yourself?? Get some perspective. No less than 11 people missed timing mats in that other race. You need to start drawing a distinction between someone who takes drugs to get into and win the Olympics and someone who quite possibly is new to running and just goofed up. Do you really expect someone who took a wrong turn and finished too early or too late to say hey race director I goofed. And even if they did, the timing people are not likely to change anything.
I was totally on board with the witch hunt when I thought it was for justice, but too many of you are just crazy with rhetoric and obsessive about calling out people blindly as cheaters. It has gotten old.
It is unbelievable to me how obsessive people are on this thread about the tragedy of someone missing Boston as the last person out. Really?? It is wrong and unjust to be sure and race directors need to be more vigilant, but it is excuse territory, an excuse for some on this board to cover their schadenfruede attitude and for others as to why they miss on Boston. Train hard and go out and try again, the cheaters only win if you let them cheat you of your faith in yourself.
Rossi may have seriously hurt himself in this and possibly 1 other person, but you people are letting hate into your heart and that is sad.
LOL, she didn't take wrong turn, she cheated, and the evidence is ever far more damning than in Rossi's case. Further, she has indicated that she was training for the 2016 Boston Marathon, so she must be DQ'd in order that a person that rightfully earned a spot doesn't get screwed, again. I fully expect that a DQ of the A1A marathon cheater will come swiftly. Watch.

You can move where ever you wish. As far as I know a comment isn't a person. If I'm wrong and the comment suddenly comes to life and decides it was offended then I will gladly apologise to the comment for calling the comment stupid.
Even by your own definition it wasn't derogatory.

Calling one's comments stupid is not the same as calling someone stupid.
Brilliant nice people make stupid comments all the time.
Confusing semantics with logic is .... well, I'll let you fill in the blank

Perhaps you prefer merriam-webster's definition:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/derogatory
expressing a low opinion of someone or something : showing a lack of respect for someone or something
derogatory applies to more than people
Funny how people can't own a simple insignificant mistake but just make it worse for themselves. "Yes it's true. If anyone would say such a thing, they would not be a friend. They would be a dog."
Nothing wrong with derogatory language when used appropriately: "I have a low opinion of cheaters." No problem.

Re "Brilliant nice people" I'm one of those, but I don't "make stupid comments all the time" only occasionally.

I apologize to the comment(s) on behalf of the whole planet. Now we can all move on, and all of you people can stop being stupid.

Can something be derogatory if it is true?
I am a person. Derogatory?
The sky is blue. Derogatory?
A statement is objectively stupid. Inept. Uninformed. Baseless. Logically invalid.
That wasn't derogatory and if you think Sarah B was being derogatory you had better get your tissue box because we've been easy on you thus far.
Just cut your losses.

Now I told you people to stop being stupid.
Truth is often derogatory but never defamatory, technically the statement was derogatory, but people are stupid for calling it out, and people are stupid for not owning it, and people are stupid for continuing this.
Somewhere cheaters are smiling because you all can't keep it together.

I say to all of you, I have been treated this day, with no respect. I've earned you all money. I've made you rich, and I asked for little. Good. You will not give, I'll take! As for Don, SaraB, well she makes it, very clear to me today, that she is my enemy. You must choose between us.
