Matt Jones, on his radio show this morning called out the posters on this message board as being, for the most part, "old idiots". Ouch! Please say it ain't so. I was having a good day...Oh, well...
EDIT: Matt, just saw my post and appeared to try and backtrack from what he said earlier about "old idiots" on this message board. He now says he was only talking about 20 posters on this board being "old idiots". He said these 20 people hated him.. I don't recall him limiting his initial remarks when he made reference to "old idiots" on this message board but I will review his podcast and make a correction if I am wrong. However, to those "20 old idiot" posters on this board who Matt Jones believes "hate him", there appears to be no remorse from Matt.
UPDATE: I just relistened to the KSR podcast this morning and obviously you can check it out yourself for confirmation but, in pertinent part, relative to my post, this is what Matt Jones stated:
..."Most of the people (on Rupp Rafters/Wildcat Lair) seeminglly hate me...Some of the times they are idiots. Most of the time they are idiots...It entertains me because of how old and angry people are on there."
Contrary to Matt's subsequent, belated and feeble attempt at backtracking from his earlier statements by contending, "there were only like 20 of them" (old idiots); his first comments clearly stated that "MOST of the people on this message board seemingly hate him..(and) MOST of the time they are idiots...It entertains me because of how OLD and angry people are on there." This is what he said. Go listen for yourself.
It is hypocritical for Matt Jones to cast an ageist slur towards "older" UK fans given his constant Democratic liberal pronouncements of how compassionate he and his party are towards their fellow citizens. Likewise, to call most posters on this message board, "idiots" for saying many of the same things he says is also disingenuous and hypocritical.
Now, most of the time, I enjoy listening to Matt Jones. He can be very entertaining. However, at times,.his arrogant and petulant personality can become repugnant. Today, was such an occasion.
