Carl, I don't hate this site, or officiating.com at all. I support your right to have a pay-section, with articles and such. I just thought it was off-putting that the conversation that seemed to spur this article originated here, in the free section ... and was put off by you're taking it do the pay-side and then try to use that to force us to pay. It's like the guy that gives someone drugs for free, gets them hooked, and then starts charging (well.... obviously not THAT bad, but you see my point, I'm sure.)
PS - I belong to a LOT of forums that are obviously healthy monetarily, which do not have pay-sections. They live on banners - what prevents you from doing the same.
