me: "why?"
him: "because he wasn't set"
me verbally: "ok thanks"
me internally "!@#$!@%#$%$@#%^"
He went on to say something to the effect that if you just call a block every time the guy isn't set, everyone in the gym will think you are right and nobody will say anything....I just bit my tongue...

As you gain more experience, you will come to find that "significantly more experienced" does not equate to being a better official.
Just wait until Jurassic gets here and sees that guy's advice to you concerning the crowd's reaction to calls.
I would call that official a coward, but someone would surely get upset with me, so I'll just use the word spineless.
