Rut,
Nobody cares whether you do middle school games...or grammar school games...or why you make those decisions.
Some people, myself included, were miffed when you wrote the following:
----------------------------
if this was a 5th grade game I can tell you that you are going to get either brand new officials or officials that are not capable to work other levels.
----------------------------
You made this statement with an authoritative and arrogant tone. If you're going to come across that way, it's best to be right. You weren't. There are plenty of good officials who do these games for younger kids. Some do it because they enjoy the chance to work with younger people. Others do it for a little extra money. There are some outstanding officials who use lower-level games to work on finer points of their games that cannot easily be focused on during higher-level play.
This will be my last forray into the breach with you. Suffice it to say that this thread is an example of why so many on this board get irritated with you. You make a statement that's stronger than the one you mean to make. Then you're called on it. Then you take it personally, and spend pages explaining yourself. Then people write that you're missing the original point. Then you write that it's just your opinion and that we should all just get over ourselves because this is not Communist Cuba. Let me be the 238th person to say this to you: nobody denies that you have a right to your opinion. What you do not have is a right to say things others find objectionable without being responded to. If you can't take the heat, don't post editorial comments.
