I think this just goes to show how SOME young officials are part of a new breed. They want to dictate how they get feedback but after 5 years, they will be EXPECTING varsity games no matter what!

I can't imagine a situation where a veteran official will go along with you telling him/her that you don't want any advice unless it is on a form.

I got to a game a few weeks ago early and the JV official was working alone. I got dressed and helped him for 3.5 quarters. At halftime he asked me what I had and I told him nothing because we were trying to work uphill because of him starting alone. After the game, he asked again and I told him two things. He argued about both of them and I told him the conversation was over. He tried to continue and I told him we were done and I had to do the pre-game for my scheduled game. I say this because regardless of delivery I think a lot of us know it is hard to give advice to young officials in this day and time.
