Ok, Stretch. Maybe we got off on the wrong foot. Maybe I jumped to the wrong conclusion about you. IF you're here to learn, then you will be welcomed and you really will learn a lot.

However, when you're just introducing yourself to the group you should probably refrain from comments like:

This is ignored or missed often.

there are two sets of rules re: contact; one for small guys, and another for the tall guys,

I'm not sure even the principle of verticality is applied fairly to tall guys.

Hate to say it, but I think the college coaches are correct.
These comments imply strongly that a lot of officials -- even at the D1 level -- are either incompetant or outright cheating (based on your comment about rules being applied "fairly"). This type of comment will not be received very well by a community of officials, as you might imagine.

As I said, if you're here to learn, then keep posting. But keep in mind the people to whom you're directing your comments.
