Do what you feel is the right thing to do for your lilly white website here. I now know for sure that decent officials don't frequent this forum and now i know why. I will leave you with this, it's hard to try and tell someone to obey the rules when you don't obey them yourself.

How outrageous can you get! Until this post, I don't think I had even seen any indication of what race you were. I had never assumed you were a minority. It never crossed my mind.

The only thing I did know is that you have repeatedly made a fool of yourself with unwaivering insistence in erroneous interpretations and foolish ideas.


Your claim of racism requires that others know or think that you're not "lily white". I didn't and I'm sure many (perhaps all) others didn't....and for that matter, I still don't "know". Bogus arguments and accusations like yours make claims against real racism more difficult to address.

There are MANY officials that are not "lily white" who frequent this board and make positive and useful contributions. Aside from those that I personally know or 1 or 2 other people who have stated thier race, I don't even know what anyone's race is...and I don't care.

Sure racism exists...and it exists in officiating...but this is most certainly NOT one of those cases.
