From Rut:
It is liable to state what people went through or their personal experiences. ...I think you need to find out what liable is. Because neither is my information false or purposely misleading. I am just telling you what many officials have told me and others. Matter of fact I have heard many official recently talk about how lucky they were to not have to go thru the same promotion process that we have today. Are they lying too?
Libel != liable
I can hardly stop laughing. You say that your information is not false or misleading. In libel cases, you would be asked to support your statement and prove it is accurate. Let me guess, you wont name the association or person involved. Then that could be considered libelous to any group or organization that your friend is affiliated with, genius. Maybe they weren't cheating after all; they were just studying the answers prior to the test!!!
The promotion process in Illinois is not very different. You still have to take both tests and receive passing scores. You still have to have Certified officials and coaches support your bid to become Recognized or Certified. In years past, Certified officials were able to rank that official 1-5 and indicate any areas of deficiency. Now, you can only say, Yes, he /she should be promoted. or No, he/she should not. That is not progress, that is a step in the wrong direction.
Again, with the many officials Ive talked to stuff. These guys cheated to pass and you support sharing answers on this and the basketball site. Times really havent changed in your ring of acquaintances.
From Rut:
So you know the reasons why everyone wants the answers? I know after I completed my test, I wanted the answers to see which one I got wrong. I recieved them and it was clear which answer was wrong and I was able to figure out why. Just because you cannot think of a reason, does not make what you are saying as the case. I know when I took the Part 2 Exam, I had people send me the answers after I took the test so I could find out if I passed. It mattered to me so I would know when to start having those promotion evaluations filled out. The IHSA did not tell you for a few weeks after you take the test and I wanted to know what I recieved and why I got certain answers wrong. I think you need to speak for yourself.
BTW: Its i before e, except after c - check your received spellings, both of them!
I did not need the answers, since I scored a 100. However, many of my fellow umpires called to discuss questions that bothered them and asked my opinion. Since my friends know that I dont like cheaters, they would never call and ask for the answers. Im happy to teach or assist with a question or two, but dont ask for all of them.
If you read the test and answer the questions you know, look up the ones you are unsure of and highlight those that may cause trouble, youll have a pretty good indication of which ones you got wrong. Then, you can come here and type that single question and receive dozens of replies. Now, youll know whether you were right or wrong.
I am only speaking for myself. Carefully, controlled, with reason and logic as my guides. You have taken this personally and that says more about your sense of worth than mine. Still puzzled by my resume? I believe you said that you could measure up against my accomplishments. Do you still think so? Im sure that the rest of the Board would like to know.
