Of course, I am well aware that you and Rut will do as you wish, and without someone from the NFHS, your state office, or your association there who desires otherwise and has the power to effect what you do, it won't make any difference.
Of course, neither will you and that is sad as I believe that making a difference in the lives of young people is a part of being an NFHS game official. Civility and citizenship is what the NFHS desires.

Hey, Nevada, you can spin this any way you like. Fact remains (as I said) that I only give someone my attention if *I* want to, not if they want me to or if YOU want me to. IOW, I leave my rabbit ears in my bag when I take the floor. But we've already determined that's the difference between us, and I was hoping we could have just moved on from there.
But apparently you're on a mission to clean up the language in every gym on the planet. Far be it from me to stand in your way, just don't expect me to sign up for your little milita.
Just as I don't expect you to pass moral judgement on me, or the impact I might or might not have on the life of anyone.
Clear enough now? Great.
