I've been officiating for 6 year, I still consider myself new and yet I have done some high profile HS boys games. I am good enough to do D1/2/3 games but my fulltime profesion sometime stops me from doing so. You are no better than Fanboy by putting down any official on this thread.

I think you are taking my comments out of context. I am talking about what we say and do on an internet site not what we have done outside of this board. I am also not talking about how people are perceived outside this or any internet board and what anyone has accomplished outside of this board. I also think I have the right to my opinion on this whether you agree with it or not.
I think you need to tone down the rhetoric and realize that everything you just talked about yourself did not include your real name, where you live or anyone that says you are capable to work D1 ball as you claim. You did not talk about what association you are a member of or any other personal information that we can verify what you just claimed.
I have been criticized up and down by people that come to these sites over the years I have been here (longer than 6 years BTW). Outside of this board I have had some very good officials (some of the best and most respected in my area) go out of their way to help me out based on things I have said in association meetings, what they have seen when I work games or based on what others that worked with me have said. I even received a D1 opportunity in another sport based on the recommendation of an official that worked with me in basketball. He took the word of other respected officials and put his reputation on the line.
The main point I am making here is there is an internet culture that does not translate to the real world. Once again, most people here do not use their real name (that applies to you) or any other evidence where someone can find you. I have been contacted several times by people that have read this board for help in getting those contacts because all my contact information is out there and I use my real name.
I am happy you have been working 6 years as an official and you think you are capable to work some D1, but that was not the point of my comments. Remember, you said you are capable to work D1, there is no one else making that claim about you. See what I mean.
My last point is the fact that you only have 13 posts to your name so far, some would question your credibility based on that fact alone. I do not care how many posts you have, the more posts you have does not make you a better official or bring more light to any of your argument on any subject. Give it time and someone will probably challenge you based on the number of posts or how long you have been here under the right circumstances.
Peace
