Have there been any real supporters of him here? Not the trolls, etc., but any real runner (not customer, employee, etc) who offered reasonable, verifiable proof whatsoever that he didn't cheat and lie about it?
Yes. On Facebook. When Hal Higdon? wrote a FB post some folks took him task for saying no Pics were enough. I recall one female poster saying that she always covers her number. People responded with, of course you have no pics if you cover your number BUT they would be in the photographers "lost and found" ALSO folks pointed out Mike's number was clearly visible. That lady still was whole defensive about it though LOL.
Honestly I think those early defenders defended him because they agreed with what he did posting that letter then when it came out he cheated they didn't want to believe it.
A good example of this is the Mike Rossi thread in the Boston forum of RWOL. Once it came out he cheated people felt petty dumb supporting his FB campaign against the principal.
I have learned that when it comes to viral videos,letters, posts etc get all the facts before you support someone/cause. The problem is the FB/Twitter generation just isn't that smart and falls for stupid stuff all the time. It is the hallmark of the outrage generation.
