Yes. Without him to compare to, the rest of us seem like bigger wankers than we would otherwise do.

I miss him, quite liked the guy tbh. At least he spoke his mind and that's more interesting than a lot of the ass kissers on here.

Yes. Sometimes he was too rude, but in general it was interesting to read his comments.
He puts things in a comletely different point of view...
Without him the forum is a duller place, thats for sure. :)

Not all.

Normally just those that can throw but can't catch.

If I couldn't catch I wouldn't throw. I'm also not so loved up with the whole human race that I could honestly say I don't think the world wouldn't be better off without some people. If I recall correctly Jack didn't say his list was totally populated with members of the GPRO community.

That's a very dangerous thought process.

Don't you worry about Jack, I know for a fact that he can speak for himself.

Matter of opinion, you're entitled to yours.

And where did I say he couldn't? I was explaining that my "list" wasn't made up of people from this community.

Sorry, but you gave your mentality away earlier when David Jones Winkley asked a question.

He gave two scenarios, accept a newbie request and make a gain, or decline.

Your solution? Make him pay for his naivety and screw his account up for the season.

Well played.

Don't tell me, you were being ironic.

I wasn't being ironic, considering the facts I think the guy making the request was attempting to cheat his way to a few points by using a very experienced player to run his account for a while.

Don't tell me, you're being moronic.

Winkley was The conversation starter for a number of years and brought a lot of faces to the forum on a regular basis and i am disappointed in what has happened. I was starting to get along with her.

Yeah he started a shitload of conversations about himself, especially when there was a risk people were wishing to discuss something else.

I know even more faces who stayed away from forum thanks to him

Love how innocuous comments trigger so much upset.

Clearly the legacy of Winkley lives on.

He's causing more controversy by not being around than he was when he was stroking his ego.
