When I first saw this thread yesterday, my initial reaction was ... Absolutely No! ... Face-plant's not an idiot.
However, after reading all the responses, I am now ... kind of On-the-Fence.
Clearly this issue can only be resolved with a Forum Poll. I would suggest the choices should be as follows:
A. Idiot
B. Not an Idiot
C. Let's just say he's Special
D. Well, we got a lot worse on ROD
E. Who the hell is Face-plant?!?
