Let's give Bob a break. The long post from Ahole Elites signed "Board Member" was well-written, courteous, non-insulting, used proper grammar and punctuation, and provided useful information. So it obviously wasn't Bob. Maybe was a board member.
The only problem is that whoever posted it forgot to change their name from their last post. Bob's defense was to paste the post on another site, because trying to change past websites worked so well last time, and claim that someone maliciously took the well-said defense of Bob, which reflects better on Bob than anything he's written, and pasted it on letsrun to smear his good name or something.
If Bob had done nothing and not posted again, this would have been lost in the noise. But again he couldn't let it go and Bobbed all over it, providing us with yet more entertainment.

Thank you,

Thanks for posting Board Member- one quick question is Ahole elites your account of Bobs?
Here is the problem that everyone is having; you could have dragged this to court and LOST. You should not be praised for not dragging this to court. You are not in the winning position and you realize it.
You have a losing case and are being jerks about it.

Yep. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. This will be a blueprint of how other races with prize money see elites. Many times they are just not worth the hassle.
As the youngsters say
QFE! lol

One quick question, should I post from Robert's account or create my own?

Was I just trolled or was this guy on the RD computer and this was the poster name the the auto remember last name used feature supplied?
I have come to realize in a very few instances this community gets a baby step over the line of good taste and takes a good thing a teeny tiny bit too far.

This is getting really fun. On the RW article comments, Bob is now willing to put $10,000 on the line that one of people pretending to be him, as "Ahole elites" or "surfingmaddona", was Matt Slocum.
Rojo is pulling the IP address and will find, most likely (unless Bob posted from different places), that surfingmadonna, Ahole elites, and CPA are from the same IP address.
Will Bob lose another $10k because his wild scrambling, after his girlfriend posted a very good defense of him but unfortunately didn't replace his "Ahole elites" name, included the claim that most of his posts weren't really him? In the midst of his scrambling, several people, but not Matt Slocum according to Matt, posted as Ahole elites or surfingmadonna just to mess with Bob. It's not clear which of Bob's comments he is now saying were not him.
Yes, I've commented under a couple names, but didn't pretend to be Bob and mine were pretty dispassionate and I'm fine with owning my comments.
Bob, you were so close to this fading away if you'd just left it alone.

Ryan Cosens It's pretty obvious that what letsrun.com is a bunch of BS. I've got 5+ people posting as me and various forms of RdSurfingMadonna. I'm done, this is not worth it. People like Matt Slocum are posting comments on LetsRun pretending to be me, this is just childish and a waste of time. I can tell you one thing, there are going to be some people that will definitely have a lifetime ban from ever participating in our race again. There's no place for a certain group of people that act so selfishly and ugly at such a beautiful event. Good luck to you!

Robert Nichols Bob, a friend alerted me to your false comment. I did not pretend to be you or imitate you in any way on letsrun or elsewhere, nor do I support anyone who would do that. Despite our heated and largely trivial interactions, that is a shameful and slanderous accusation which I hope you will reconsider. I have emailed Weldon and Robert Johnson of LetsRun and asked them pull the IP addresses. Maybe you can do the same and then how about this- when they do pull the IP addresses, if I imitated you, I will donate $10,000 to your charity. When it is shown that I did not, then you can donate $10,000 to a charity of my choice.

Matt Slocum you just lost $10,000. Of course you'll never pay it. There were 3 RdSurfingmadonna's yesterday posting as me on that ridiculously inhumane, ugly thread board. One person a registered poster admitted that he tried to get RdSurfingmadonna for kicks, but someone had already beat him to it. It's obvious it was you on there Matt. Your the only besides Ryan, Cody and I going back and forth on this argument. The language and wording is exactly like yours. Admit it, it was you.
Oh yea Matt, I'd like you donate your $10,000 to H20 Trash Patrol, they do a wonderful job of keeping our Oceans clean. But, your not a man of your word and you won't pay. Unless you can of course take some of your USC trust fund money out and use it.

Robert Nichols great! Challenge accepted. Let's add you making a public apology too after its proven you are wrong. Sound good? You can make the check out to American Red Cross. Let's put it in writing. Bob I received a full merit scholarship to attend USC and do not have a trust fund

Bob I've just spoken with Weldon Johnson of letsrun and they are willing to pull the IP addresses. Do we have a deal?
This is getting really good now...
Bob: I am the one who registered your name RdSurfingMadonna on LRC because I wanted to show you that it's easy to do and it could prevent people posting as you. I had never posted on the thread previously, and this is just my 2nd post on it. Yesterday, I emailed the mods at LRC and, as I requested, they have removed the RdSurfingMadonna name as registered. Go for it and register it, unless someone else beats you to it.
I am registered as Bigfoot and have been for quite a while. The thread was getting out of hand so I figured I'd kick it up a bit.
FWIW I think you're running out of targets/possibilities as to whom you feel was posting as you. Good Luck.
David
Hopefully I'm registered now.
Pretty much the same here. It was pretty sad that you were going nuts because other people where posting as you, when all you had to do was register your name. Its pretty easy to do, yet you wouldn't do it after multiple people told you why and how to do it. So, I registered Rdsurfingmadonna2 when you started using that name after the above poster registered the name you were using. Like Bigfoot, that was my only post on this thread or the RW thread.
So, I'm one less person that you think is posting as Matt.
Nope, looks like I'm still not registered. Can someone have Weldon with the IP addresses contact me. My number is listed on our website. Weldon if can hear me, let's get to the bottom of this. I'd like to see who Matt Slocum has been posting as and how many different user names he's used. As you'll see from the IP address Aholeelites was not me, nor the other trolling IP addresses. Please call me so I can document our conversation with someone. Thanks! I want to Make sure Matt donates his trust fund USC money as he stated he would.
No, you're not. Jeez - its not hard, man !
No wonder he buggered up the prize money if doesn't even have enough smarts to register a handle, we have total idiots and imbeciles posting on the Mike Rossi thread who register multiple handles.
Wonder how much the charity are paying him?
Forget it, you folks aren't worth it. This thread is nothing but bad vibes and not worth my day. Too much drama. Looks like your gonna have to find something else to stroke your keyboards about. Boring!!! Adios!

According to their tax forms, Bob and Megan McCarthy each get $9000 per year for over 3000 hours each, so less than $3 per hour. They're not getting rich off of the charity.
Bob is obviously independently wealthy and accuses everyone else of being greedy because they're not in a position to work for free or commit at a moment's notice to send a $900 check. He must also feel that he earned his money and is justified in taunting others over their imagined trust funds.

Looks like you've still got Runners World and Matt to deal with though.
Take a look at past threads. This is but a blip on LRC. We're just having fun with someone who obviously can't navigate a web site with enough proficiency to register a handle. As I was told many years ago "Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya."
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
