I think that you need to go back and re-read all the posts,BigDave.You are mis-interpreting what is being said,and what the issue at hand in this thread has been to date.The only rebutting that anyone has done so far is to point out that there IS language in the rule book that says that you CAN have "hand-checking" WITHOUT having to displace someone,contrary to what Rut posted.I don't think anyone,including myself,has said that you HAVE to call it as strictly as the rule book tells you to.
Liking someone or not liking someone has got absolutely nothing to do with what I've been posting.I've been quoting the rule book only to date,and have not offered any personal opinion or comment on the particular rules language-other than to say that you should follow your local interpreter's direction as to how to call this rule.
I hope that straightens up where I stand on this,and clears up for you what the issue really has been.
PS-I pretty much agree with your first two paragraphs on how TO call the rule,but that was never the issue.
