Reveal isn't really the right word. There isn't much to say I think. I didn't see much of his antics personally as I tended to stay away from the places he hung out. He was a legendary ass, one of those guys whose strong personality pissed everyone off, but he also was a habitual liar who convinced a set of young BBSers that he was a Navy pilot with a black belt etc. when he was actually 350 lbs and living in his parent's basement.

In the more closed community of the pre-Internet day, personalities like that could get around. You'd get second-hand stories of how Mike Smith said this or Mike Smith did that, etc.
