Once again, I do not care about best interest of the game or if the offense is legal or not.
And you are just like Kurt, when asked for specifics we cannot get a straight answer. But you have continually called me names all because I want you to prove what you say.
Thank you for proving my point. That is all I wanted to do.  |
Perhaps I respond because I don't want the smell of your garbage to taint the stripes of my shirt.
So several States have outlawed this offense and vow to change the current NFHS rules. As we all know, they have the right to do whatever they want WITHIN THEIR STATE. Does any of that make this offense illegal under the NFHS code? I don't think so. Has the NFHS declared this offense illegal, I don't think so. We all vow to do a lot of things that never get done.
If you want to understand what you, and others, have said that was over the line, go back and read what you've written, with an open mind. It will jump up and bite you on the behind.
Are you actually going to play the victim's card, whining, "you have continually called me names all because I want you to prove what you say." Poor baby, you, and others, have been throwing bombs at this man simply because he doesn't share your view of an idea he developed, and when your bombs exceeded the bounds of professional curtesy and general civility that was pointed out to you, your feelings are hurt and your defensive fangs came out.
Understand something simple, because either one of us conclude something, or someone, was wrong, or behaved badly, that is nothing more, or less, than an opinion. I've shared my opinion, regarding the behavior you and others have chosen to demonstrate. You had the options to totally ignore me, and my opinion, consider it and apply it
as you deemed appropriate, or defend yourself over and over and over again with the same bully tactics you were applying against KB. Outshouting, bullying, ridiculously trying to rally support usually doesn't work, when you're just wrong.
Nothing has changed on my end, from day 1, you and some others elected to step below the line, and I simply pointed that out. Since then, you, and others have chosen to try and pour gasoline on the fire thinking somehow that would put the fire out, not surprisingly it hasn't and doubtfully ever will.
If you want evidence, it's there waiting for you. Simply go back and read what was written, the tone in which it was intended and if you look with an open mind you will see where the discussion clearly dipped below the line of reasonable taste and basic civility. I can't make you see it if you don't want to look, and I'm sure as heck not going to waste time pointing things out that you have no intention of seeing.
Whatever KB has said, concluded, opined, suggested or inferred that you find improper or objectional
IS ON HIM, but that doesn't give you, or anybody else license to insult, accuse or dispariage him in return. Whatever you choose to say in return is
ON YOU, and is not his fault, my fault or anyone else's fault.
We've all stepped over the line occassionally and most often correct things by simply realizing we may have, and step back. This nonsense has gone this far simply because you, and others, have elected to ride your high horse even higher, rather than simply step down.
A final point, which seems to escape some, is that this is an "Official's Forum" and, as is always the case (whether we like it or not), how we choose to say what we choose to say reflects on who we are, not only individually but collectively as well, especially when we're dealing with a non official. We all have some responsibility not to embarrass each other.
