I love you too andrew. YouTube is public buddy it's no secret and you posted the videos on there so obviously you didn't care if they were seen

I'm guessing he's mad about the "your life will be changed forever" part.

No hearing people moan and **** is what is ****ing ticking me off. I try to contribute to this board and sure most of my posts seem biased and one sided, but I tired. None of you gave me the opportunity to try. Every one of you continue to pile up **** after **** to further back up your claim I am a "messed" up individual. Why? Because I like the music I like? I like Shaq? That seems immature and wrong on so many levels. Spare me your excuses, I just don't understand it. I post on youtube to make an ass of myself and I have been on tv and radio for it, I don't care what you think. I did it in the past, I don't do it now. I even said I would continue to post here and yet none of you will leave me the hell alone. So go **** YOURSELF, BAN me...I don't give a rats ass, because it isn't worth it. **** you Brianellsworth, privately telling me you are joking and wanting to be my friend and then this ****. NEWS FLASH, I don't give a **** what you think.

And I say goodbye to you......****ERS.

*Thanks to everyone who actually gave me a chance...*

I'm proud of you Andrew! Whether you come back here or not, there a few here that have accepted you from day one. The others are the ones with the problems, not you. You are probably the most honest person here. Stay true to thee and the others can take a flying leap.

Well some of you think it is OK to belittle someone else for being different than you.

Are you sure you are not insecure about yourself, so you put up a front. Some are saying Andrew fooled us. If he did, so what. What have we lost? He is the one being phony, but you are worried that he is making a fool out of you if you take him seriously. You are scared so you attack. Your insecurity is what causes you to fear.

On the other hand, what if Andrew was sincere about his postings and you picked on someone so open about things. I think that takes guts to put so much of yourself out there for others to see. You might have just hurt an innocent person for no reason other than you were afraid. Stupid.

Again I see no reason to put down Andrew. He was either sincere about things, so he didn't deserve harsh ridicule. Or he was phony, in which case I have to admire someone who can pull such an elaborate prank with all the videos too what forethought.

I'll choose to think he was sincere until proven otherwise. And if it is proven that he was joking, I will laugh with him because I can take a joke even if it is on me.

Besides, who are you to decide that you can push others to find out if what they post is real. The weak/scared tend to run in packs. Live and let live.

I think he was just a very young kid under 10 years old when Shaq came into the league.

I miss watching Dr. J., Earl Campbell, George Brett, then later Walt Davis and Walter Payton.

as much as i sometimes get annoyed with andrew. This guy has probably the biggest heart ive ever seen since whats his face off joe shmoe. anyone remember that show? Theres just not alot of genuine people left anymore, ESPECIALLY in andrews generation. why not just leave him be, let him ride off into the sunset. im sure none of you would have the balls or would want to treat andrew like you do to his face. ive been guilty of harassing him too, but i think its time to end it. no one deserves to be called a freak, or nerd..or headcase.

Being banned is Andrews only way to leave the board and keep his self pride.

Well, or keep the joke running.

Let's keep a little perspective. Posters who "attacked" him (and there were very few who attacked him much; most just complained about his tedious and repetitive requests for free game streams) were attacking his online persona. His online persona is, indeed, ridiculous, as he has also acknowledged. Is it real or an act? At this point I suspect it's an act, but I don't care; the joke has run its course. Why someone would go so far out of his way to create a ridiculous online persona is another intriguing question, but I agree that it's one that's not worth our time.

You are scared so you attack. Your insecurity is what causes you to fear.

It is true that the degree of attention-seeking that Andrew represents (genuinely or not) is threatening. Our society cannot function if its citizens require constant affirmation for every breath they take. Just imagine if someone like Andrew's online persona tried to hold down a job.

In my own job, one of my main responsibilities is helping people understand the transition that they have to make between the ages of 18 and 22. Collectively, we need the younger generation to understand what their responsibilities are to everyone else -- a topic that is usually ignored in childhood and can't be usefully engaged during adolescence. Telling someone to "grow up" isn't an idle put-down, but a call to action. Eventually, all of the Andrew-personas out there (whether Andrew is himself one or not) need to get past their myopic, ego-consuming celebrity worship and start thinking about making a real contribution.

Or he was phony, in which case I have to admire someone who can pull such an elaborate prank with all the videos too what forethought.

I agree that the amount of energy that went into creating the persona is impressive. Of course, the same could be said about the infamous troll "Cubby," who has been keeping up the same act for, what, 15 years now? He's pretty open about his feelings too, so maybe he deserves the same emotional protection.

Good luck Andrew. I wish you well. Everyone does not walk to the beat of the same drummer.

Back to Shaq. I expected this YouTube dude to do a chorus of Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad or Paradise by the Dashboard Light.

He should've gotten Jim Steinman to write his material. :)
