Show me.......because I'm skeptical.

Brutal meltdown by O: (the whole board laughed at him back in teh day, he was/is a clown of brutal proportions)
just wanted to share some thoughts with you guys.
Recently in my life, I was out of focus. I hated my job, GF problems were on the rise, I drank every night, and my training was half ass.
Then I joined up with the hardcore board.
Today, things are different. I just finshed my first two shows, I start school full time in the fall for my business degree, I don't drink at all, and I have a more positive attitude overall.
At work, I am chastized, putting up with "roid" jokes daily. I come back from vacation to find pictures of needles taped on my locker. I hear nothing but jealous and hateful comments. I have gone through bullshit this past year. Being depressed over work, having a shaky relationship, losing a best friend, and just feeling like I was going nowhere.
Here I am "O." I am praised, welcomed, and have friends. I remember posting pics of my first show, expecting to get trounced all over. I received nothing but kind words and motivation. I felt like a million bucks that day.
then on a whim I asked everyone for their vote. Again, I was overwhelmed with support. I just want to say thank you, to all of you. You asked me about my stars? I couldn't stop showing them off to my girlfriend. I am proud of them, because I am proud to be a part of this board. I am also proud to be your friend and fellow BB.
I love the way the hardcore board get's along, despite our little squabbles here and there. May we all continue our BB ventures and stay in touch.
Sincerely,
Dave
aka: "O"
O’s farewell letter (two days later):
I am officially anouncing my abdication from the hardcore board. I will no longer be posting as a mod, and will not be posting very much at all for that matter.
I have learned so much in the time I have been here, and value everyone's friendship to the fullest degree.
Please understand my reasons are only personal, and everything is OK. I will drop a line whenever I can.
To Big O, my mentor, we will keep in touch. Give me a call this week.
Big John, my brown brother...Take care bro. I have known you for over three years, I will miss our discussions. Please drop me an e-mail once in a while, I would like to hear how you are doing.
To wannaB, you're still f**king killing me. Take care, bro.
To all the rest. Be safe, make smart choices, and have fun...
Your bro,
O
O’s grand return (2 days later):
It was a combination of things...
I like it here too much.
Too many people PM'd and e-mailed me telling me to stay.
And I like giving the degenerates around here something to talk about. I have my own threads on other boards talking shit about me...I feel like I'm back in high school. I don't even check them anymore though...
Beyond that, Helping people do this right is worth the time I spend here.../O
