It's pretty clear Mike isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Which, I suppose, should have been obvious - you don't end up a 47 year old wedding DJ if you excel at anything at all in life. That ridiculous back and forth with Greg, where he showed select portions of some report? Classic Rossi: when everyone else runs a marathon, they cover the entire course; when everyone else shows a document, they show the whole thing. He thinks you just have to show the first and last line of a document and tell people what the rest says? Can anyone actually be this stupid?
The evidence that you cheated, Mike, is overwhelming. Showing select portions of documents - cutting and pasting select portions from the Lehigh statement to claim they said you were "innocent" - when anybody with a grade 2 reading level can see that they said no such thing - this only makes you appear more guilty.
The only way to overcome a massive amount of compelling evidence that you cheated, would be evidence that was even more overwhelming that you did not cheat. A photo at the start and finish is only evidence that you were at the start and the finish - not the middle Mike, not the middle. It's pretty basic stuff, Mike. People are only saying you didn't run the middle bit - that's the issue, Mike, not the start and finish. But, why are we even talking about this. There is no evidence that you actually ran VIA because you didn't. So, really, just stop your pathetic attempts to try to make people think black is white, or vice versa.
What you need to do is just come out already as a trans-marathon runner. While other people run an entire marathon, you identify yourself with people who run an entire marathon. So, when someone asks you - hey, did you really run a 3:11 marathon - you say - I identify myself as a runner who runs a 3:11 marathon. America's first trans-marathoner - Mike Rossi - and you are free of all of this. As a trans-marathoner nobody will ever expect you to run the middle bit of a marathon ever again. You can campaign for marathons to allow a new category of runner, the trans-marathoner, to avoid discriminating against all trans-marathoners who just like the beginning and end bits of a marathon. You should be allowed to be you Mike - don't let anyone tell you that you have to run the middle part of a marathon if you don't want to! End the discrimination, Mike!
