You're certainly entitled to your opinions also.

That's not the answer that you were looking for, was it?
You are wrong again! I did not bring up the term bashing so I didn't ask what was appropriate when it came to bashing officials. If you think what I say about Welmer is bashing, that is your opinion and you are entitled to it. I gave my opinion of Welmer; if you consider it bashing then that is your opinion. What you consider bashing is basically me speaking up and giving my opinion when someone speaks of him as if his performance is on par with a Burr, Valentine, Higgins, Libbey and on and on. It is so convenient for you to skip over things like when I said I've heard he is a good guy, but hang on to the negative. I know officials other officials that are jerks and I wouldn't mention their names. If I actually thought of Welmer as badly as you think I do I wouldn't even mention his name.
What I get from you is the opinion that if Burr calls it then it is right or if "Joe D1" calls it then it is the right call. You seem to condemn others if they say "Joe D1" screwed the pooch repeatedly whether it is true or not. My question was asked because of this type of opinion. I did not bring Welmer into this conversation because I wasn't thinking about him when I asked the original question. You are the one hanging on to this, not me. I said he (Welmer) is supposed to be a good guy, I said he makes the super obvious calls (primarily) and I said he - IMO - isn't among the elite. The results seem to be in line with what I'm saying. Maybe you should start to drink some of my Kool Aid!
