JR, do you really want me to answer that question? Although you are old enough to know, maybe you don't understand either. Maybe you should think about why I'm saying that.
Maybe you should tell everybody exactly whereinthehell you're coming from, Tom, without going through all this mumbo-jumbo.

I try keep the hell away from the threads like this because every damn one of them ends up like this. Now, whether I agree with somebody or not, I still think each individual still has the right to have their own opinion. It doesn't matter whether I have any respect at all for a certain opinion, I still respect the right of that individual to have that opinion. Now, obviously, you don't agree with that. So, you tell me, Tom, exactly why do you think Jeff Rutledge is entitled to have his opinion, but Camron Rust isn't also entitled to have his own opinion. Please clear that up for me.

I don't know about Camron enough to know whether he is black, white or purple. However, if he is black, his comments show he is very gullable. If he isn't, this is a subject he should stay away from. I would like for you to walk in my shoes for one day in 2006, when things are allegedly better (Ha, Ha, Ha). When it comes to topics like this your opinion is one of ignorance. Here is the definition:

1. Lacking education or knowledge.
2. Showing or arising from a lack of education or knowledge: an ignorant mistake.
3. Unaware or uninformed.

You don't, nor never will, have the knowledge on this subject so you fit the definition. Speaking from knowledge gained by googling is vastly different from living in my skin. A smart person would realize this and back the (*expletive*) up! It still remains to be seen what you will do.
When dealing with people I know, I do not pass judgement on subjects I don't know about, I ask questions so I can learn. If I did read something in a book and was told it was wrong, i would at least consider the words of someone who has lived through a given subject.

Gentlemen, can we keep discussions about basketball officiating?
That's sad, Tom. And it's sad because you don't have any idea at all why it's sad.

I honestly didn't expect that from you.

I guess I was wrong.

I will endeavour to do the same to you in the future as I do with Jeff Rutledge. I will keep all of my ignorant opinions to myself and will not debate any of them with you. Hopefully that will make you feel better.

Sad, sad, sad....
