Sure seems like you implied you are one of "his" best, whomever "his" is.

The only thing a ref has that should be unwavering is his honesty/integrity. A guy can be lacking in rules knowledge (as you clearly are). A guy can be lacking in physical prowress (which you must not be since you were able to do 20 games in one weekend). A guy can be lacking in decision-making skills (the jury is still out on you). But a guy cannot be dishonest.

Don't confuse legitimate criticism for "hatred." I know I don't hate you and I doubt anyone else here does. And as for your own association, if they don't know you by now there is very little they are going to learn about you here.

I can't control your perceptions or misperceptions of me or my posts. What I "implied" was I was unsure why I was invited--luck of the draw or maybe someone likes my style of officiating--who knows?

Most officials here tend to believe I'm severly lacking in rule knowledge and don't even believe I'm an official. If I were a young official, that would probably bother me and make me very insecure about officiating. Because I have over 7 years of experience doing this, you could be an NFL official or even the President of the United States--your criticism of me WILL NOT alter how I call my games!!!
