"Fair and sensible" is part of it derock, but it sure as hell ain't all of it!
Ever hear of an official that has a firm understanding of the rules AND has common sense?
If you haven't, you ought to flip on the TV sometime and watch a game. You can believe that 99.99% of the time all seven of thoses guys do!
You can also believe that if you continue with that pissy-a$$ attitude of yours the only TV game YOU will ever be involved with will always be the ones you watch from your recliner!
How dare you generalize all of us and then continue to put your punk-a$$ on a level above the rest of us!
It's clowns like yourself that don't bother to study and learn the rules (for the level you officiate) but rather use seat-of-the-pants rules that give the rest of us bad names.
Why? Because eventually your "fair and sensible", lackluster, make-em-up-as-you-go, rules knowledge will effect the outcome of a game. And once you do that, (and all it takes is once) YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! How many times has this already happened Derock?
You DO NOT have the authority to set aside the rule book and instead use "DEROCKS Fair and Sensible Guide to Football" (as you have conviced most of us that you actually do), Nobody does!
I don't believe you are an official at all! Not with your know-it-all attitude! If you are, and your only aspirations are to continue with Pop Warner Bantams and Pee-Wees then you are on the right track! With your attitude your only "Bowl Game" will contine to be an "Invitational" Flag Tournament that pays $20 a game!!!
I challenge you derock to tell us what association (or chapter) you belong to because:
1) You say too many stupid things for any of us to believe you actually officiate football.
2) If my assumption in #1 is incorrect, then you need a $hitload of growth as an official.
My 2 cents
