I'm willing to say categorically that there are lots of very evil people doing all sorts of nasty things that sleep perfectly well at night. Even more, there are lots of people doing wrong things with good intentions that sleep well at night. It's irrelevant to whether or not it's the right thing to do.

I respectfully disagree with you again. It is never irrelevant to doing what is right. I don't care where you are or what you are doing, it is never irrelevant. I remember being with guys that wanted to rob a liquor store. Sure I could have took the money and did whatever we wanted to do at the time. However, my belief in what is right and what is not is very strong and I refuse to take part in it. It is never irrelevant, never.

Motive, however, is completely irrelevant here. What's happening is an official has decided that he has good reason for deviating from established rules.

This is where you are wrong and your need to condemn me has taken over your inability to see the truth. The truth is, how can i deviate from a rule I never knew. I assume I was doing the right thing. I did not learn specifically until this thread. When in doubt, and not sure what to do, I call on my judgment and fair play to help me make a decision. Albeit, it was wrong, in a situation like this, what would you do?
Motive is never irrelevant Snaqs. For example, the motives of the others on this forum to burn a cross in my front yard is very significant. It shows what type of officials they really are. Being a good official requires more than just getting a rule right at the right time.
