Mike you’re trolling at an elite level so I feel dumb asking this but where have you dealt with him away from the boards? Where are his good friends he’s normal with?
I have no clue I only chatted with him to help the last two weeks of prep for his show, after that he went snowboarding and generally seemed pretty....boring. The bhanks we get is nothing like Brian, he's not manic except online or so it seems. I was mostly gone during the last few years so his entire personal life and history here I am not familiar and honestly I'm not going to spend my valuable free time reading. I don't think he's much different than anyone else but I can see his insecurities would drive him to be receptive as he very much wants acceptance/praise. I was very much like that for years and probably knowing that I overcame I looked at him and was optimistic I could help him as well but after several very one sided conversations I realized Brian is all about Brian. Nothing wrong with that, it's probably a rational way to live, but not someone I would take seriously as a potential friend. Not sure this answers your question. I was a Facebook friend but if you're wondering if I spent any time looking into his personal life I never did. No interest there. I bodybuild, that's our only commonality. His taste in watches sucks. Nice car, nice house, alright as a dad and he works out. The rest is noise to me.
