No.
By coming on to LetsRun and saying "I apologise on behalf of my fellow Australians.". Duh.
apology: An acknowledgment expressing regret or asking pardon for a fault or offense.
So you "acknowledged" that someone else was at fault or offensive?
And had the grandiloquence to stand in for all Australians (past, present, and future I presume) on the matter?
This is more self-serving than the original self-promotional blog.

Thanks, I'm currently giving that statement a great deal of thought as to how I can make my posting anonymously on LR work to my greater "own welfare and interests".
Wouldn't it make more sense to apologise on behalf of your fellow Austalians for the bib-swappers?
Let's see:
own welfare and interest: zero (allegedly)
those of others: negative (view them as such scum you need to "apologise" for them)
zero > negative wrote:

"scum" is a bit strong, having a misdirected sense of self importance and as I originally posted, "self aggrandizing and self promotion", would be more accurate.

If you make public accusations about people that defames them without evidence you are going to get your ass sued eventually.
Posters on this board should remember this because you are not anonymous with your comments. Piss the wrong person off they will get a court order requiring the website administrator to handover all the info which identify you.
Court order, shmort order -- you can take that court order and shove it straight up your /\55

Probably both, if the bib-swappers are guilty, but as I said I didn't go any further and read the long blog entry on the alleged villains so I'm not in a position to form an opinion on their guilt or otherwise.

Ladies and gents I in Australia and have just come to this thread. I've read the thread and had a quick look at the blog, as soon as I noticed the self aggrandizing and self promotion of the blog owner I didn't go any further, I trust my fellow posters when they say "self promoting garbage", etc.
I apologise on behalf of my fellow Australians.
PS I hope it wasn't something she picked up while living in the good ol' USofA.
Rachel was one of the posters getting stuck in to Rob Young on his cheating thread, so she probably picked up on how to do the "self promoting garbage" from Rob and Dustin, so the snaggle tooths from across the pond can be blamed for what she's "picked up".

Hi, Richard!
Very interesting read, ignore the trolls
I am confused.
Someone named RM ran 2:49:54 at Gold Coast in 2014:

Looking at the photos, I can't tell if it the same guy in the 2014 photos is the slower bib swapper from 2016 (Both are white guys wearing a hat and sunglasses. The 2016 guy may be a little heavier -- this happens.)
2014 Photos:
2016 Photos of Guy that ran 3:33:
Oddly, Someone named RM is listed as running 3:15:39 at Gold Coast in 2015. However, the photos for that name are a female.

A suggestion about your writing style. When you write, stay on topic. Avoid going into unrelated, unimportant and boring tangential subjects.
I guess you're writing about two guys who bib-swapped in some race somewhere. Unless you are the race director I have no idea why you care. Have they obtained some type of advantage in something? Was there cheating involved? Was an award taken from another run who earned it? What's the point other than they obviously avoided wasting an entry into the race? Did you even bother to contact these guys about what happened or why?
Obsessing about complete strangers without attempting to get their side of the story makes you look like some kind of crazy stalker.
The aftermath has been interesting, but not as expected by the OP.

hehe, well put.
And frankly this forum, for all its entertaining value, seems to be a hangout for too many of these pettyass sleuths looking for attention.
