A guy comes on here and asks a legit question...no one knows his motives. We just know the rules as they pertain to the scenario he painted. He gets his question answered accurately and then he's attacked. Some of you who didn't attack him feel the need to defend the actions of those that did. Why?

Is this what happens over time as an official? We get so jaded and cranky that we just assume a player/coaches motives are always suspect? I wonder how some of you function in society on a day to day basis. Do you react to everyone like that or just save it for officiating?
What do you mean "us"?

You're confusing a "few" with "us".
