Someone at 5/8 screencapped the troll's post. It was definitely a blatant trolling attempt that made Mike seem like the root of all the bands' issues. I don't want to post the screencap here, since it was removed, but basically the gist of it was "I got kicked out over creative differences. The band wanted to go back to the style of the Scenes from a Memory type days, and I wasn't into that." The thing that made it interesting was that Mike's font and picture were basically the same as they are on MP.com. Even the posting style was the same, kinda written like this:
The thing that definitely gave it away was Mike would have had to know the forums secret emoticons. Which is HIGHLY unlikely.
