Jurassic Referee:

You recently asked, "Would you please point out some examples of my "unprofessionalism" to me?" Your posts on this thread never reached the point of being unprofessional, as many other threads and posts by other Forum members have become over the past year or so that I've been a member of this Forum. To quote myself, "I have been often "turned off" when some members get too personal, sometimes leading to unprofessional remarks, and at some point in this thread, I thought we were heading in that direction."

Please note that I said "we" which includes me possibly becoming unprofessional. Some of your statements that led me to believe that this was becoming a personal matter between you and me and not a matter for all Forum members include:

"Left out a few things, didn't you?" "Here's the complete article, Bill, minus the...uh...editing". I know that I was being too senstive on this, but I thought that you may have been implying that I purposely left out parts of my handout to benefit my point of view. Unfortunately, I didn't know the source of the handout, but I do know that I didn't edit it in any way. I really didn't appreciate the "uh" in your statement, but again, maybe I was being too sensitive.

"Again, forget about 3-seconds" In this case I took the time to type out a specific play where the concept of advantage disadvantage may have been used on a violation. I was upset that you seemed to just ignore my example. I would have preferred that you responded to that specific play in some way, other than just seeming to ignore me like I was some kind of uninformed coach or uniformed fan using this Official Forum website.

"Yeah, kinda looks like he's ducking asking that question". "Why are you ducking answering it?" "Billy, you're the one making the statements. It's up to you to back them up with". Again, I'm sure that I was too sensitive about this but I thought that since your statements came first that you should have backed up your statements before I tried to back up mine.The word "duck" implies that I was evading the question, a negative conatation in my mind, when I was simply waiting for you to answer first. But I also used the word "ducking", so I'm as much at fault as you. That's why I said "we". In this case it was me who may have been becoming unprofessional.

No apology neccessary. Again, I will continue to look forward to your threads and posts.
