First of all this is not the work place. Working an AAU game is an extra-curricular activity. To compare the workplace to what is basically a hobby is very silly. If you do not want anyone to talk to you in that way, quit officiating (or any hobby that you get offended by words). And whether any of us like it or not, a D1 official probably has some respect that a younger official does not. Even if you feel you were wronged, there are people that really could give a damn. It would be no different if I was playing a video game and the person I was playing called me a name. You have to learn to when to fight your battles and when to walk away. He made his point and WeekendRef got the point. That is all that matters.
