Rut,
Maybe it would be useful if you could post "Rut's rules" here on the board to make sure we don't ever obsess or join in on a discussion that we should "stay out of." You know, things like:
1) This is a basketball officials discussion board, but there is no place for basketball rules discussion here.
2) Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Unless it contradicts mine.
3) I don't care what anyone thinks of me or my posts. But if you disagree with me, I will continue to debate until I get the last word.
4) Conforming with a particular assignor's beliefs is much more important than calling the best game that I have been trained to do. You should all feel that way too. My goal is to be a D1 official. Since that is my goal, it should be everyone's goal.
5) If I continue to dredge up an old point and make a new post about it every time I see an article supporting my position, that is just good discussion. If you make a post that doesn't agree with my viewpoint, you are obsessive.
6) I get blamed for everything. You are all out to get me and none of it us brought on by my abrasive posts.
7) If someone agrees with a poster who contradicted my opinion, they need to stay out of the discussion.
Add some more Rut so I can be sure to please you. :-)
