Just so I, the angry poster who has been challenges those throwing rocks for the last couple hours, am not accused of bias, I will give you my opinion on Mike Rossi.
First, I am an anonymous internet poster making judgments on others. Therefore, I am an internet coward, but one willing to admit this much. In real life, things are different. Now...
Mike Rossi is a pathetic man who represents all that is bad with our current social-media scheme in which fame is a virus (pun intended) that rewards those talking the loudest. His conduct is shameful and wrong. He lied, cheated, and stole from honest and honorable people.
Now, even though he is not capable of embarrassment or shame, we cannot say the same as his family. They cannot "log off" from this nightmare. I feel horrible for them. He clearly cheated, and he deserves to be mocked for it.
This is not to say that those who are obsessed and willing to go to extremes are not equally deserving of some mockery themselves. Just as the idiots who attacked the principle of the school went too far, so have some of the people here. If you are not ashamed of being obsessed with an idiot like Mike Rossi, then let us openly mock you.
Our internet anonymity has stripped some of us of common decency and led to overzealous attacks on things outside the bounds of catching a cheater and trying to see that it is not repeated. Personal attacks against ANYONE and going after the man's livelihood affects not only his family, but also puts our community in a bad light. My only goal in taking a couple hours to mock those who deserve it is to show you that you have missed the point of what some of those who have done good work (4000 posts ago) did. Get off your high horse unless you feel like jousting. I've got another hour to kill.
Not SaraB though - she is legit.
