I don't consider this whining.

The word "illegal" means against the rules. It also can mean against the law. It is illegal in the game of basketball to double dribble. It is illegal in the NBA to publicly criticize the NBA and the officials through the media.
BTW, I was using the words of a previous poster to make an opposite point. If you are going to drop in the middle of a post and start saying something, at the very least read the entire post. Or use a dictionary.

You responded to my post on the first page, then forgot that you did, then responded to a post that was not addressed to you, while ignoring the post that was addressed to you on the same page, then advised me to not drop in on the middle of a thread?
As far as using a dictionary, you are using a secondary definition of illegal when it is quite clear that the primary definition was intended from the context. The sentence makes no sense if the secondary defintion is intended.
While I respect your knowlege of basketball and officiating, there is no need to lecture me to use a dictionary.
Remember ... Endeavor to eschew obfuscation.
