Well good for you. I think that people have the right to voice their opinion about what they do not like and what they like. It is apart of human nature to have perferences. Some people like Steak, some people like Fish. Neither person is wrong for voicing that opinion.
Some of us do not have a choice to a certain extent. Some of us do it because we do not want to be judged as bad people. It takes people time to get to the point where they just say no. I know several officials that are very critical of other officials if they say "I only do boys" but have the ability to take the games they want and give back the games that the would not do in a cold day in hell.
Mark, I you love doing all levels more power to ya. We are all happy for you. But please do not try to be PC and tell the rest of us to share the same attitude about them as you do. And considering that I am sure that many officials have this conversation with their partner's that they deal with and this place is no different.
And for the younger officials that are on this board, they might be feeling the exact same way but are afraid to express it because officials like yourself tell them to not accept games that would be career suicide to them if they did. Not all of us have the right to just say no!! If it bothers you that much, do not respond. I am a little tired of the "my partner did this" stories, but you do not read me saying, "if you got a regular partner, you would not have to worry about that now would you."
I wish some of us would grow up and realize that we are living all over the world and that standards are going to be different based on where we live and the systems that we have to deal with. And just in Illinois considering things are so different from the big city areas to the rural areas, I would think many here would realize differences are going to be there.
Give us all a break. We are all not the same.
Now I feel better.
Peace
