Joe, what we're telling you is that we've all seen this cheap foul. But most of us don't think it's worth calling. It's not difficult to finish the shot or lay-up most of the time, with a minor tap to the belly. It doesn't really put the shooter at any disadvantage, so most of us (viz., everybody except you, apparently) let it go.

Fortunately, I haven't seen if very often, but Man Oh Man if you ever do, you might want to get it right.
You're taking a boatload of crap from people on the forum, Joe. And this kind of comment is the reason. Tone down your act a little. Whether you realize it or not, you're coming across as a know-it-all, and a pretty obnoxious one.

So if we've gotten the wrong impression of you, stick around and make constructive posts without the condescending tone. If you really are "an insufferable know-it-all" (as Professor Snape would say), then do everyone a favor and move on to McGriff's.
