Vahan, do you know what a backhanded compliment is? Furthermore, do you understand the phrase think before you speak? Because you are guilty of not doing the latter far too often here. And as expected, you play the victim card when you've been called out by several people. And after being pointed to your mistake, you still don't get why you a) came across as a jerk and b) continue to get the responses you do.

Back to your statement, it comes across as insincere, mocking and condescending. If you don't get why, I'll break it down even further. It sounds like you're saying "Matt, you're so smart, yet you still blew it (it's quite sad that anyone has to explain that to a 27-year-old)." It doesn't matter what your "intent" was, you did a poor way of expressing it, and this isn't the first time you've done so. It's just this time, people had something to say. You really need to think your posts out or stop posting.

But hey, we're the bad guys, right?

I really do not get what it was I did wrong. That gave Chris Lambert, Chris Lemmon [sic], Dale_Grass, and Aaron Sica the right to act this rude towards me.
How were the others rude to you?

How'd you do that?

I did it with PowerPoint, a screengrab, and a cross stitch font. And also with malice in my heart, apparently.

And it was my first time seeing Mr. Ottinger on Sale.  Very cool.

The next item up the line for the current champion is an entertainment center.  I noticed the pedestal the magician uses says "El Mouldo", or at least the Mouldo part.  Was this a prop loaned from Johnny Carson?  One of Carson's somewhat recurring characters was a horrible magician named El Mouldo.

Matt O. came so close to defeating the champion, but lost to Jan.  If not for buying one of his instant bargains, he could have become the champion.  The main thing is, he played a great game, and it is really cool to see what he looked like in 1985.

And great job on the Family Feud-esque image.  Looks pretty cool.

Is this what you were trying to say, Vahan? Because in case you still don't get it, Jon's response is much better.

I'm still waiting for my apology too.

Admitting wrong is one thing. Trying to right it is another.

Okay, I admit I was wrong with what I said about Chris Lemon and PYLdude in this thread.

That's not an apology; that's saying you were wrong. Anybody can be wrong, but you apologize when you are sorry for doing something.

PYLdude, sorry.

I'll take it. You still have one to go.
