What's wrong with saying "I told you so"? I would say there were more people blindly championing Groupon in the lead-up to the IPO than contrarians. Let the contrarians enjoy their moment, and let the champions eat their crow. As long as we learn our lesson, it's OK.

Seriously? Everything I heard was unremittingly negative.

I definitely don't dispute that – it probably depends on where you hang out online. I saw a lot of rah-rah on the "mainstream" media (CNN, etc.) and aggregators like techmeme.com, etc.
