Reading jr's post, it seems pretty clear what he was doing, although Rut is right, we don't know for sure. Nevertheless, it's his attitude most are criticizing - a move I agree with. "Sometimes we have to abuse the whistle"? Uh, NO.

What Rut is really addressing is the tendency for people to go from 0-1000 on the judgemental scale in the blink of an eye, and the "piling on" that sometimes goes on. Sometimes we have short memories, and we definitely are hypocritical.

Joking and doing are different, though, and jr's made it pretty clear he was going out of his way to screw the player - AND that he'd do it again. Not good.
