Totalnewbie, you can get your panties in a wad if you like. But the thread wasn't aimed at you or anyone specific individual. Ask anyone who's been here a while, if I thought you were a problem or I had a problem with you, I'd say it.
You stated, "NevadaRef made a T call he thinks is stupid." WRONG! I never said that, nor was this thread directed specifically at that thread. There have been a dozen threads in the past two months that i could have specifically addressed. I have no problem with someone making a call during a game and then re-thinking it. By dammit, when it's discussed over and over, people are presented with the facts and still advocate going out there making a call that has been proven wrong, yeah, that's stupid.
You stated, "...yet the guy who made that call that he hates..." refering to NevadaRef. BULL$HIT! First, I don't hate anyone here. Secondly, nothing in that entire thread was aimed at him. Finally, I suggest you read the thread, "Players in Official Scorebook," where I wrote, "NVRef is a valuable contributor to this board. He and I don't always see eye to eye but personally, I think has a very good understanding of the rules and how to apply them. To date, he's certainly contributed a whole lot more to this site than you have," refering to a poster that had had unfairly criticized him.
As I said, somtimes new officials are better off reading and asking questions as opposed to writing and trying to provide answers. Many think they know everything. i know I did when I first started. But sometimes we all need to shut up and listen. If that offends you, oh well. It's the truth IMHO.
BTW, in case I didn't previously say it, welcome to the forum! Keep those feelings off your sleeve.
