Rojo, where's my apology!?!

Try again with question wrote:

I noticed that you wear your watch on your right arm. Very unusual. Are you left handed?

This question was posted yesterday, but for some reason it was deleted. It didn't seem offensive or controversial and I have no idea why it was deleted so I'm trying again.

Oh man, I'm only answering this because people have had my back, and I know the haters are gonna hate. The reason I wear it on my right hand is I recently got a tattoo on my left wrist (directly where a watch goes) that is a dedication for my now deceased dog, aka Moby Dick's best friend. So when I got the tattoo, I switched my watch just while it healed, and now it stays on the right cause I don't want to cover her up. It is odd, it's not as natural, and gets in the way and I find myself removing it often to get some work done that I otherwise wouldn't have to.

Was your dog named Boots?

I picture you yelling "Boots, on the ground!" every time he tried to hump a leg.

Pics?

Did Rojo go home devastated?

Yes indeed.

Moby Dick gets $100. Darmn, I should have just said $50.

But now I've found a coresspondent for future 20k champs!!!

Fun thread.

Wow. No wonder I haven't heard from Rojo in the last 12 hours. He's been exposed. Last I heard he was going to offer Moby Dick $50. Now it's $100.

I think we need LetsRun.com consensus- these funds should come from Robert's personal money right, not LetsRun money.

What about wearing Wejo wearing a LR jersey at a run that says "I'm sorry Moby Dick"?

I mean... it was Rojo who tried to call me out for lack of boots on the ground, not Let's Run.

Penalty for gross personal negligence and willful knuckleheadery should come from his personal funds. He should match his fine here.

There you go, great idea Malmo. Instead of the $hundo coming my way, it should be sent on behalf of "Moby Dick and supporters" to Gabe's fund.

Hey, I'm one of your supporters. Don't give away my money. I want my $10.

We should settle every call out this way. You make a claim and someone says you're a liar, prove them wrong and they have to donate 100 to Gabe's fund.

And for every time they keep questioning you like rojo did they donate another 100.

I already said that! I've already talked about this. I had boots on the ground but it's not like I was part of the press! I used twitter, my buddies who were on the course, my first hand views, and my friend was in one of the leads. I saw the race from 2 spots and said what I saw, then used everyone else's info to post. My coverage was terrible and mostly a joke, this whole thing blew up cause you, for whatever reason, doubted I was actually at the race and was somehow in PA!

This is awesome. Moby you are a hero.

I apologize to Moby Dick for thinking he wasn't in New Haven and for having the gall to think he might be a troll. For years, I've been told to get control of the messageboard and I try to do it and end up with a fail.

Moby, email me at

robertjohnson@letsrun.com

the way to get you the cash via venmo.

"Who told thee that?" cried Rojo; then pausing, "Aye, Starbuck; aye, my hearties all round; it was Moby Dick that dismasted me; Moby Dick that brought me to this dead stump I stand on now. Aye, aye," he shouted with a terrific, loud, animal sob, like that of a heart-stricken moose; "Aye, aye! it was that accursed white whale that razeed me; made a poor pegging lubber of me for ever and a day!" Then tossing both arms, with measureless imprecations he shouted out: "Aye, aye! and I’ll chase him round Pennsylvania, and round Connecticut, and round the New Haven Maelstrom, and round perdition’s flames before I give him up. And this is what ye have shipped for, men! to chase that white whale on both sides of land, and over all sides of earth, till he spouts black blood and rolls fin out. What say ye, men, will ye splice hands on it, now? I think ye do look brave."

Brilliant, mate.

The story always changes to deflect admission. You said he wasn't at the race based on your IP address detective work. You were wrong. That's what this was about and nothing else. Where he got the info from is irrelevant, not to mention that he openly admitted that.

I was hoping I wasn't the only one not getting this. My "reporting" was just comical nonsense of whatever info I was able to get while I watched the race with boots on the ground. I never claimed I was a an actual reporter or covering the race for anything other than my own personal amusement, was just hoping to get the info the the LRC crowd who were following the thread. The reason this debate even started was for whatever reason, Rojo didn't believe I was actually at the race or lived in CT.

Moby Dick, once you accepted Rojo's concession, that should have been the end of it. Your contributions were appreciated regardless of your credentials, sources and methods.

Now you're gloating... a bit.

Just sayin'
