So how well you get along with all your cronies is completely irrelevant to anyone who is here regularly. The experiences you have there have the potential to be helpful here, but they aren't because you go off on these long rambles that nobody understands and you turn a lot of posts into pissing contests. As much as you blow yourself on here, you must be pretty insecure about your ability.

My job is not to make people happy with what I say. I tell people all the time if you do not like what I have to say (or anyone else has to say) to ignore the information or person. I cannot turn any conversation into anything. People here cannot take the fact that someone on this earth does not share their since of reality. I will debate my point of view because I can and it is not like you or anyone else can stop me. I know I have no power over what other people say here. Remember, you said that no one pays attention to me here, but ever time I turn around you keep commenting on what I say. I did not address my comments about this topic to you, but you went out of your way to make a point to say "I never agree with Rut but....." You could have kept that statement. I do not care and I am sure a lot of other people could give a damn if you agreed with my point of view.

Second of all, I don't own a pair of belted pants. I haven't since about my third year of officiating. However, I think it's REALLY ignorant to look at any official and draw any conclusions about their ability based on whether or not they wear belted pants. As long as they look neat and clean, it's irrelevant. One of the officials that worked a 4A boys semi-final here in Washington (and worked the girls 3A state final the year prior) wears belted pants. He also does college ball. Oh my goodness.

Z, I am talking in generalities and things specific to what I have experienced. There are always exceptions to any statement. If I said that Black people do not like George Bush there are obviously exceptions to that statement. There is also proof that what I said was mostly true also (voting records, polls, approval ratings, party affiliation). Of course you can find one guy that does not fit what I said. I can tell you if you are wearing belted pants where I live at the college level; you will not be there very long. I am not just speaking for the state of Illinois either. The college assignors I work for assign officials that live in multiple states. There are always exceptions to any statement. Stop taking it so personal. I just made the statement in the first place to push your buttons and I accomplished what I wanted to. I take great humor in the fact that you are so upset over what I say and we live thousands of miles away from each other. I also am not impressed with some guy that lives in a state so far away from this region of the country. Basketball is king here and a lot of what goes on here sets the standards for the rest of the country (not my words, ask those that run other states). So I am sure you would find people that do not fit what I said.
Peace
