In my case, it would be complicated- I have no 76 stations and ConocoPhillips' properties were leased to other stations.
That is a shame. Guess that ruins Christmas.

The arrangement would be the same as if they were won by someone from L.A. who didn't care for sports, or someone from a city with fewer than 4 pro teams:  "you can take these season tickets to the Rams, Dodgers, Lakers, and Kings, or you can forfeit them."

Actually, Barker once said on air they offered cash in place of the ticket value to out-of-town contestants.  I doubt they gave this option to one who lived in LA and didn't care for the tickets, but I don't know for sure.

It was a golden age of daytime network television... Game Shows... Hosted by people who actually knew that the game was the star... And I wish it was still that way - both that game shows were on all morning and that they were hosted by actual game show hosts. - Bob Purse, Inches Per Second

You know, Don, whatever problem you have with me, get over it. I'm beyond sick of this.

This was completely uncalled for.

And you're moderating because...?

By the way, Chris, if you're going to snit over Don's actions, you might as well pick a lane.

Good point. My statement was pretty out-of-line too.

Sorry about that, just panicked a bit, fearing another war was on the horizon.

I don't think your statement was out of line at all. Don is acting like a petulant child- for what, I really don't know- and I don't think it's fair that he's allowed to keep doing this. I mean, just because you hate me is no reason to hijack a thread that asked a legitimate question about a problem that some contestants on game shows might be faced with.

And the only reason the thread got hijacked is because you went off on a tear about it.

And I wouldn't have gone off on said tear had Don kept his opinion to himself for once. I didn't say anything that should have set him off.

I mean, okay, when I say something stupid, I expect I'll catch hell for it. But not when I ask a question about something that I don't know the answer to and am legitimately curious as to what the process would be.

Protip: "It wasn't my fault I couldn't control myself; he made me" isn't going to end well for you. Just saying.

Tell me exactly what I did wrong here. Don hijacked the thread with his post, Don insulted me for no damn reason, and Don has been taking shots at me for a few months with little reason to be taking said shots (except for one time). Why am I the bad guy for saying something about it?

I know it's hard, because it seems like he's getting away with it, but you shouldn't have said anything. Let the comment stand and people will know who's right and who's wrong. Don did not hijack this thread. He baited you and you took it. Don't next time, as hard as that may be.

I shouldn't, you're right.
