Tom used to be quite the douche, on the internet. More so that most of you know. Not many pros who have posted over the years actually deserved vitriol, Tom was one of them (in my opinion). Some may read that as being par for the course, consider the way people are, here - but we're talking about over at MM, which was extremely policed - often, by the man, himself.
But, having been around at that time, actually witnessing him being a dick, I still say, the guy has made the best he can from the cards he's dealt himself. Of course he looks like a scarecrow, he's been on dialysis for 8 years and he's actually had the guts to stay away from the bodybuilding world 
. Think of all the leeches, currently still trying to hold onto their former drug addict lives. Think of the train wreck who still comes to this board posting his all capitals, foolishness. Reality won against Tom, but at least he admitted it and has moved on. He set a good example. I won't bag him.
I'm sure Luke Wood would have been the same, but sadly, that was not meant to be (and Luke was never a douche, he was a top fellow).
Tom could be a dick...but hey, I'm sure i'd be a raging asshole on 1000mgs. of tren ace/ wk myself.
The way i saw it, at the end when he was melting and saying... "i couldn't be under 250 if I wanted to !!".....is that he was flipping the fuck out and realizing he that he was seriously fucked, and he didn't handle it so well. anger, denial..typical emotions when you undergo something that life-changing. can't blame the guy for blowing a gasket. His whole world was being taken away from him
I thought he was underrated, and one of the best white BBers of his time. he was as fucking thick as a gigantic veiny penis, and had good lines.
Good to see him doing well. and who cares if he was a drug addict. we have thread after thread here where half the members talk about the drugs they have used.
