Well, this one hit close to home. I post on a board called TheGangGreen.com which is a forum/website for Jets fans. A bunch of die-hard gang green fans talking about the team, the games, future trades, general nonsense, [insert other things here]
Well, there is a member there named Green Hornet. Very well respected long-time member who blasted off a forum bombshell:
[ame=http://forums.theganggreen.com/showthread.php?t=52021]I have brain cancer - TheGangGreen.com Message Board[/ame]
The members came together and really supported him and his family. Thoughts and prayers went out, and some even went to the length of contacting family/friends in the field to offer advice and connections in his dire time of need.
And then this controversial thread was born:

Followed by some interesting detective work:

And finally, the revelation:
[ame=http://forums.theganggreen.com/showthread.php?t=54202]My explanation and apology - TheGangGreen.com Message Board[/ame]
Usually I see a link to threads like these randomly on the internet, like the guy who put brake fluid in his car instead of motor oil, or the one where the guy led exhaust gases directly into his engine
This time, I lived it first hand -- enjoy fellas
