Look, I get it. I'm a rookie. I'm green. I don't know as much as you do. You've been around the block more times than me. I get that. God, do I get that. Thanks for reminding me.
This conversation is the very reason why I don't talk with people who don't have an elementary level of reading comprehension.

Listen Rookie, no one asked you how hot your wife was. No one asked you what a priority was. You asked for advice and people that have been around the block are giving you that advice. Just like any advice, you can take it or leave it. I have my games and opportunities, I do not need to give you anything. I just think you need to understand that you came here and wanted advice. You have had an outpouring of advice from people of all levels of veterans. There were even some people that that work college ball and have a state final in their resume.
I even teach a "New Official's Class" in one of my local associations. Everything that people have told you is pretty much right on and helpful. But frankly you are going to turn off the majority of those if every comment from you is a debate. Remember, you asked for advice for officiating. And before that you tried to throw a backhanded slap to someone that has been around here a lot longer than you have. If that offends you by the response you have received, then you will have a hard time officiating. Now we want you to stay and hopefully prosper as an official. But enough with what your wife looks like and what general society thinks about our uniform. We are telling you something to make you better in the long run. You do not have to take anything we say, but understand we have all been where you are right now and we are not trying to give you information so you fail.
Peace
