Nobody's opposing you personally. What we're opposed to is your refusal to listen to what everyone is saying. JR's not deceiving you, regardless of what you call it. He is in fact much different from the coaches and irate fans. You are indeed staying focused on the task at hand, but that task has nothing to do with good officiating. It has to do with being obnoxious and difficult.

And that still doesn't answer the question of whether you own a rule book and a case book, and what levels of ball you work, and what officiating affiliations you have.
