People are this way - and in fact they should be. If you are unable to question what you are being told you probably don't deserve to hear it anyway.
We get that, and if you re-read the thread, several posters said as much.

I think it is obvious that all of us have had advice while coming up that was not worth listening to, BUT you still need to just grin and bare it when you get it.

It is also pretty clear that officials contributing to this forum and taking their free time to be there early to watch less experienced officials, deserve at least the respect to listen to their advice.

To shut off that input does an official no good, and once that attitude makes the rounds, that official may as well stop working because they will not be moving up.
