what percentage of uncle jack's connections are of the type "idiot"

was that made just for him?

Do me a favor, please. Reread your post out loud to someone and ask them if it makes any sense. Then retype your post the way it was suppose to be.

As for UJ, he was probably only trolling and he was quite good at it with his one liners from the rises (responses) that ensued. He did have his own opinion and he was consistant, even though it was contrary to some folks' way of thinking. His posts added flavor to the threads even if they did offend.

You might enjoy this URL: http://piv.pivpiv.dk/ It is in honor of UJ that I post it. I always felt he should have included it for the visually impaired. Don't forget to turn up your speakers.

when i set up my first connection this morning and saw that i had the option of selecting idiot as a type i imediately thought of uncle jack. many of his post had me rolling on the floor.

you lost me. whats wrong with what i wrote?

I knew exactly what he was talking about since I had navigated around the site. If you haven't done that yet then you get left out of the joke. Sorry but I agree that the connection type of "Idiot" was probably included just for UJ. The comment made in fishineer's post were not in anyway a put down of UJ. At least I didn't take it that way. It was an acknowledgement that UJ calls most people idiots therefore if he sets up a connection in his profile they will probably be put in the category "Idiot". Ok, I have rambled on enough. I guess I better get back to work.

I plead guilty and inept on navigating around the new site. Sorry if I offended anyone (especially fishineer).

I did not read this closely until now.

So far, I've classified everybody as an "Idiot." At least in my definition, nobody with whom I've established a connection, fits into the categories of "Friend," "Fishing Partner," or "Co-worker." That leaves me with one other option...

I would say, however, in the UJ tradition, that a lot of my friends are idiots.

We put "Idiot" as an option because it seemed like a good idea at the time...perhaps a "YOU SUCK" option would have been better.

Anything but "Foot Tapper"

Actually "idiots" around here for several years was considered a bit of a compliment almost along the same lines with the term "you suck". So this could go either direction depending on your mind set at the time.
