As for the rest...there are many new officials that read the forum looking for advice and when they see 7000 posts, they might just heed that advice, without thinking it through. I completely disagree with the philosophy you posted and wanted those new officials to get that opposing point of view.
If you are too thin skinned to be disagreed with, perhaps posting on a forum isn't such a good idea. 
And the lower the talent level, the harder the officiating. |
Thin-skkinned?? Me?? Well, yea, sometimes, but not here. Sheez if my self-identity depended on what people like you think of me, I would be in trouble.
I don't understand why the philosophy of the mantra is that difficult for you to accept. Self-talk is a very valuable tool in making mental adjustments, whether temporary or permanent. I would have thought that would be just a basic psychological principle that wouldn't need much discussion. I agree that no one should adopt anything I say (or that anyone else here on the baord says) without thinking it through first. So if the OP thinks through the mantra thing, and decides it works for him, will it be okay for him to adopt it, even though you don't agree? rolleyes yourself, fella...
