That guy is a shining example of one of the most annoying internet message board traits.
Say something stupid, get called out on it, and rather than admit it or move on, hold out hope that one's ignorance will eventually come true. Rather than applaud the strides Backlund took this year, this poster is more concerned with holding out hope he'll regress just so he can save face. It's as despicable as it is ignorant.
