That's right. You have no idea who I am. And yet, your first post directed at me was to blast away at me with both barrels blazing. Very helpful.

you're profile doesn't even list your real name... so how am I to know if this is your 1st, 40th or 10,000th volleyball match?

You can't. And yet, your first post directed at me was to blast away at me with both barrels blazing.

You talk about my over-the-top emotion... I say it's appropriately proportionate to your comments.

And I say it's not. You must be a joy to work with.

When an official says "I honestly don't even try to do it (look for back row attack) in a match"...

Read the rest of the sentence, Brainiac, instead of taking things out of context.

You'd throw me out for being upset that you "don't even try" to look for illegal back-row-attack's?

Can you even read?!?! Good grief. I'd throw you out for "blowing a gasket", which I'm guessing would be excessively demonstrative. If you were simply to yell "That was back row!", you probably wouldn't get tossed. Although around my neck of the woods, yelling tends to get carded.

You said "do you think I'm doing the Olympics" and I say it doesn't matter what age or performance level, an illegal back-row-attack is illegal, no matter what.

Of course it's illegal. Would I love to be as amazingly awesome as you, and catch them all? Of course I would. But you know what? I'm not that amazingly awesome in my 2nd season.

And finally, to answer your question about the oath, in NFHS it's called the Officials Code of Ethics, in NCAA it's called the Code of Ethical and Professional Conduct, and in USAV it's called Philosophy of Rules and Refereeing - The Referee within this Framework.

So you're saying that you didn't actually take an oath. Right? That was simply more grandstanding to make your emotional rant seem more compelling.

I truly don't appreciate your comments such as "[I]Did you really take an officiating oath?!?!

Oh, oh, let me play!! Guess how many of your comments I appreciated!! Go ahead. Take a guess!!

So, if you're standing so tall with your thoughtless sarcastic remarks, why won"t you publish your REAL name? I did.

I actually have a very good reason for not using my real name, not that it's any of your business. And it wouldn't make any difference if I did use my real name, because there's no way for you to know if I really am who I say I am.

One thing I do know, however, is that you're a putz. Welcome to Ignoreville. Population, you.
